Average salary rises over five percent in Malaysia

The average salary for workers in Malaysia, encompassing both Bumiputera and non-Bumiputera individuals, has seen a positive increase of more than five percent. This development, according to the Malaysian Department of Statistics (DOSM), signals encouraging progress in the nation's income patterns.

Datuk Seri Dr. Mohd. Uzir Mahidin, the Chief Statistician, highlighted this achievement. He noted that while the salary growth is a positive sign for the overall economy, there remains potential to further strengthen Bumiputera involvement in high-growth economic sectors.
