The question is in regards to the new minimum wage that Malaysia will commence on 1st May 2022. The rules for this new minimum wage is for places that hire 5 people or more. For business owners with a staff of 4 and below, this rule will commence on 1st January 2023.
However, there are netizens commenting on teachers/educators if they are eligible for this as their current salary of RM1,100 is definitely not enough. Other users agree with this statement, saying it is hard to guide and educate children.
Another tweet shows the minimum livable costs for people in all Malaysian regions. The lowest tier, which is a single person with low commitments, is well above RM1,500 for all except for Alor Setar and Kota Bharu.
