COMMENT | In the midst of a challenging economy, the Chinese business community, particularly small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), has begun to voice dissatisfaction with the policies of the Madani government.

In a recent meeting with several business associates, most of them expressed disappointment over the current economic situation, which they believe is becoming increasingly burdensome.

One of the key issues raised is the planned increase in the minimum wage from RM1,500 to RM1,700, set to take effect in February 2025.
