The least wage he could survive within a month would be RM1,000 for himself.<br /><br />Looking at the drastic change of salaries for a CEO of a GLC company, a CEO's monthly salary today could feed a houseful of labourers.<br /><br />Therefore pushing a minumum wage of RM720.00 by manufacturers and services business, the employers should be able to pay for a minimum wage.<br /><br />My proposal would be the larger the business is made of, the better wage it should pay to its employees. If a CEO or his top Executives could take home a salary of RM100,00 a month including allowances, then 10% of their salary should feed be able to feed 10 employees.<br /><br />We dont want those at the top eating steaks while those below them will be eating sardine fish everyday. <br /> <br />be able to feed 10 of his employees.WATCHMENhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822144250591112570noreply@blogger.com
