Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri Dr Fong Chan Onn said clinic assistants in the private sector in peninsular Malaysia and Sabah, and casual farm workers in Sabah and Sarawak would also enjoy the benefits.
He was speaking to reporters after launching an international information and communications technology competition.
He said that the recommendations for the three groups by the Minimum Wage Council, and those by employers and the Malaysian Trades Union Congress are in the final stage of review by the ministry.
Among the recommendations made are that 1.2 million workers in the three job categories be paid a minimum wage of RM700 a month over the current average wage of RM500, aside from other benefits such as rest days, overtime claims and a retirement scheme.
