I don’t like the potong gaji solution as mooted by our powers that be. I don’t mind Ministers being paid well as long as they add value to the country and society. I believe that you pay for the value people bring.
This potong gaji solution strengthens the employers position when dealing with workers. Not a great position.
The other reason I don’t like the potong gaji solution is the subtle hint that all of us should also potong gaji. Absolutely not. Our gaji in the global sense are low. It is not fair to further hint on suppressing this. It is not like we can keep the costs of goods low when the global prices are high, right?
Please fight for higher pay! Don’t take easy short cuts!
Please someone help explain why lower wages is the solution for Malaysia’s economic problems?
