2. 本会在2013年3月20日发表文告，欢迎政府听取工商界意见，展延落实外劳最低薪金制，同时呼吁政府相关部门及单位，能在必要时协助向外劳讲解这项政策的最新进展，以免外劳误会雇主剥削他们。
同时本会也正式致函人力资源部，再次要求成为全国薪金咨询理事会成员以及相关的技术小组成员，希望有关理事会能有多方工商界的参与，以便有效传达工商界的问题及意见，让最低薪金在2014年1月1日全面实施于本地员工及外劳时，不会再对工商界造成困扰。

3. 人力资源部长拿督斯里苏巴马廉于2013年3月21日，邀请本会总会长拿督林国璋及署理总会长拿督戴良业共进午餐，出席者也包括该部秘书长拿督斯里再纳拉欣。双方针对最低薪金制所引发的各项课题进行了商讨，本会也要求部长对几个管道不同的宣布而引起混淆的细节作出解释。
本会再次向人资部长要求加入全国薪金咨询理事会，以反映工商界意见，并希望全国薪金咨询理事会每两年检讨最低薪金额时，有关数额应与员工生产力挂钩，确保工商界的有利发展。
人力资源部长及秘书长同意与总商会联办讲解会，讲解最低薪金制的各项细节，以及各项人力资源课题，包括劳工法令、雇佣法令等。总商会将在近期内举办有关讲解会。

1. National Wages Consultative Council (NWCC) has issued a Press Statement on 19th March 2013, stating that Government has decided to defer the implementation of minimum wage for foreign workers of SMEs. Amongst the details are:-
a) Local employees (citizens) MUST be paid minimum wage as per the Order;
b) Employers in SMEs are given blanket deferment of the implementation of the minimum wage for their foreign workers until 31st Dec 2013;
c) Employers who have been given deferment are not allowed to make deductions from the foreign workers wages for levy, cost of accommodation or other allowances;
d) Employers who are implementing minimum wages are given a blanket approval for deductions of levy and cost of accommodation. The amount of levy to be deducted is the actual amount on a prorated monthly basis and the amount of accommodation shall not exceed RM50 per month per foreign worker. Both the deductions above need to be notified to the nearest Labour Department via email or letter;
e) However, in special circumstances, based on individual merits, the Labour Department may consider applications for cost of accommodation exceeding RM50 a month for each foreign worker;
f) Employers, other than SMEs, who face difficulties in implementing minimum wages may apply for deferment on individual basis to the Secretariat of NWCC before 30th June 2013 by submitting the following supporting documents:-
i. Registration with Company Commission of Malaysia (SSM);
ii. Audited account for 3 years; and

2. ACCCIM has issued a Press Statement on 20th Mar 2013 to welcome the decision of Government to defer the minimum wage for foreign workers of SMEs, and to urge all relevant authorities and agencies to give full cooperation and support to industries and explain to the foreign workers on the latest changes to the policy if necessary, so as to avoid any misunderstanding by the foreign workers.
ACCCIM has also written to the Ministry of Human Resources, requesting to be appointed as a member of the National Wages Consultative Council (NWCC) and relevant technical committee. ACCCIM hopes that the NWCC can accommodate adequate representatives from the business community to iron out problems and issues to ensure that the Minimum Wage policy can be fully implemented on 1st Jan 2014.
Please refer to Annex B for ACCCIM Press Statement dated 20th Mar 2013.
3. ACCCIM was invited to a luncheon meeting with Minister of Human Resources on 21st March 2013. ACCCIM was represented by Dato’ Lim Kok Cheong (President) and Datuk Ter Leong Yap (Deputy President) while YB Datuk Seri Dr. S. Subramaniam was accompanied by Dato’ Seri Zainal Rahim bin Seman, Secretary General of MOHR.
Matters discussed include various issues on the implementation of Minimum Wage, and ACCCIM sought clarification from the Minister on various details that caused confusion due to differing announcements made by relevant authorities. ACCCIM requested the Minister to appoint ACCCIM as member of NWCC to present views and comments of the business community, and also urged NWCC to consider Productivity Linked Wage System (PLWS) when they review the quantum of Minimum Wage every two years to ensure the sustainable development of industries.
Both the Minister and Secretary General of MOHR agreed to conduct a briefing with ACCCIM to explain on the details of Minimum Wage and various HR issues including Labour Act and Employment Act. ACCCIM will organise the briefing as soon as possible.
