While the public was generally positive in response to the announcement of minimum wage policies being rolled out by the government, some are concerned about knock-on effects it would have on businesses.
During a titah on Saturday, His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien Sa’adul Khairi Waddien, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam announced the introduction of the minimum wage in phases across all industries in the private sector, in alignment with the best practices at regional and international levels.
