Median Wage Rises To RM3000 In March As Labour Market Strengthens
Malaysia's formal sector labour market continued its recovery in early 2025, with the median monthly wage reaching RM3,000 in March, a 5.5% increase from RM2,844 in the same month last year. The growth in wages was supported by steady employment gains and government wage policies, including the upward revision of the minimum wage. According to the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM), formal sector employment expanded by 3.6% year-on-year in March, with earlier gains of 3.1% in January and 3.4% in February, reflecting consistent momentum across the first quarter of 2025. Of the 6.8 million formal employees, the report showed males accounted for 55.1% (3.7 million), earning a median wage of RM3,000, while females made up 44.9% (3.04 million) with a slightly lower median wage of RM2,982. Wage growth was stronger among women, rising by 6.5%, compared to 3.4% for men, indicating gradual progress in closing the gender wage gap. Wages rose across all age groups, with the most notable increase among employees under 20, whose median wage surged by 13.3% to RM1,700. However, employment numbers declined slightly in the 20–24 age bracket, bucking the positive trend seen in other age groups. DOSM noted that the Mining & Quarrying sector continued to offer the highest remuneration, with a median wage of RM8,800, despite employing just 0.6% of the workforce. This marked a 4.8% year-on-year rise. At the other end of the spectrum, the Agriculture sector recorded the lowest median wage at RM2,200, covering 1.9% of formal employees. Geographically, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur topped the wage scale with a median of RM4,445, followed by Selangor at RM3,300. In contrast, Sabah (RM2,000), Kelantan (RM1,800), and Perlis (RM1,800) had the lowest median monthly wages in the country. While wage levels rose, income distribution remains a point of concern. As of March 2025: 27.4% of formal employees earned below RM2,000, down from 31.2% in March 2024, suggesting modest progress in reducing low-income prevalence. The 10th percentile earned RM1,700 or less, but this marked a 13.3% increase compared to RM1,500 a year ago. The 90th percentile of high-income earners made RM11,000 or more, up 4.8% year-on-year. The upward trend in wages and employment signals a healthier labour market environment, underpinned by robust economic growth and proactive policy measures. Related

Juwai IQI launches bank-grade ‘checkout' feature to protect property buyers, renters from fraud
PETALING JAYA: Malaysia's RM725 billion annual e-payment transactions could get a RM3.6 billion boost from real estate as IQI embeds a one-tap bank-grade 'checkout' button that will make every transaction fraud-resistant. 'Malaysian home buyers and renters finally have a bank-grade 'checkout' button for their purchase and rental booking fees and deposits,' said Juwai IQI co-founder COO and CIO Nabeel Mungaye. He said they created the system in partnership with payments infrastructure provider FPX, and it works with every major bank in the country, including Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, RHB Bank and Hong Leong Bank. 'The average rental deposit is RM4,800 and the average buyer's booking fee is about RM14,500. That's a significant share of anyone's household budget, so we have a responsibility to make sure it is secure, he said, adding that this payment integration complies with anti-money laundering rules, safeguards all parties to property transactions and helps prevent property scams. Mungaye said some 300 people lose more than RM12 million to property fraud every year. The most common scams include fake rental listings, inflated deposits, fees for fake services and even sale of properties that scammers do not own. 'Malaysians transacted 28% more via digital payments in 2024 than in 2023. If every Malaysian goes on to pay their real estate booking fees via a digital payment system like IQI's, that would add RM3.6 billion in value to the country's digital payments. Real estate would boost the RM14.7 billion of annual digital payments by nearly 25%.' Mungaye believes they are the first to integrate secure payments into buying and renting through an online payments system in partnership with a top provider like FPX. He said, 'Before, you might have given cash to agents, written a cheque, or transferred funds into an agent's personal bank account. You had to wait to see if your funds made it to their destination. As of now, you just scan a QR code, add your info, and hit the button. The money goes into verified company accounts and is linked to you personally and to your property transaction. The benefits of the new system are a payments log-in you trust, instant receipts, no hidden fees, and 24-7 clearance.' Juwai IQI co-founder and group CEO Kashif Ansari said, 'The average house price across Malaysia now stands at RM486,070 and grew by 0.9% in January to March, compared to a year earlier. The number of newly launched residential units doubled to 12,498, and unsold inventory, especially serviced apartments, continued to shrink.' He added that they expect steady growth In the second half of the year, which will be supported by construction activity and new supply. Kashif said innovations like their new secure payments integration will help make property buying and renting simpler and faster, which could result in more deals done.

Median monthly wage for formal sector rises to RM3,000 in Q1 2025
PUTRAJAYA: The median monthly wage for Malaysia's formal sector rose 5.5 per cent to RM3,000 in March 2025, up from RM2,844 a year earlier, according to the Employee Wages Statistics (Formal Sector) Report for the first quarter of 2025, released by the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) today. In a statement today, Chief Statistician Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin said the increase reflects the country's continued economic growth and the impact of the revised minimum wage policy, which has positively influenced the labour market. As of March, he said the formal sector workforce stood at 6.8 million, comprising 55.1 per cent men and 44.9 per cent women. The median wage for male employees remained at RM3,000, while female employees saw a 6.5 per cent increase to RM2,982, compared to a 3.4 per cent rise for men. The highest year-on-year wage growth was recorded among workers under 20, with their median wage rising 13.3 per cent to RM1,700, largely driven by the reimplementation of the minimum wage policy in February. However, a slight drop was observed in the number of workers aged 20 to 24. He added that the mining and quarrying sector posted the highest median wage at RM8,800, although it accounted for just 0.6 per cent of total formal employment. The agriculture sector remained the lowest, with a median wage of RM2,200. Geographically, the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur recorded the highest median monthly wage at RM4,445 in March 2025, followed by Selangor at RM3,300. At the other end of the spectrum, Sabah posted a median wage of RM2,000, while Kelantan and Perlis recorded the lowest at RM1,800. Mohd Uzir said 27.4 per cent of Malaysian formal sector workers earned below RM2,000 per month as of March, down 3.8 percentage points from 31.2 per cent in the same month last year. He added that a percentile analysis revealed workers in the bottom 10th percentile earned RM1,700 or less, while those in the top 10th percentile earned at least RM11,000 per month. "This reflects an income gap where the top 10 per cent earn six times more than the bottom 10 per cent," he said. -- BERNAMA
