KUALA LUMPUR, 23 JULY 2026 —
Malaysia's economy is experiencing growth, yet workers are not feeling the benefits, according to a report by PERKESO. The Social Security Organization of Malaysia, PERKESO, has identified four main reasons for this disparity. Details not yet available on the specific reasons cited by PERKESO.
The issue of economic growth not translating to improved livelihoods for workers is significant for Malaysia, where the economy has been expanding. The country's economic growth is expected to have a positive impact on its citizens, and the fact that workers are not feeling the effects raises concerns about income inequality and the overall well-being of the workforce. The report by PERKESO highlights the need for policymakers to address this issue and ensure that economic growth benefits all segments of the population.
