EDITOR'S NOTE

Dear Readers,

On 1 January 2013, the Minimum Wages Order 2012 came into force fixing minimum wages at RM900 for Peninsular Malaysia and RM800 for Sabah and Sarawak. With this move, the average wages for workers, including foreign workers, saw an increase of 30% to 50%. To address the concerns of employers and the rise in production costs, particularly with regard payment of levies for foreign labour, the Cabinet decided that foreign worker levy shall be borne by the foreign workers themselves with immediate effect. On 30 January 2013, the Minister of Finance issued a press statement conveying the Cabinet's decision. The new levy policy will only apply to new foreign workers or to those who renew their work permit. The new levy policy is not of retrospective effect and therefore, employers may not recover levies already paid prior to 30 January 2013. To read the press statement by the Minister of Finance, click here.
