A couple of weeks ago, it was announced that the government had agreed to reintroduce and make it compulsory for interns who undergo industrial training with the government to be given an allowance.
Now, Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman has announced that the government has agreed to increase the allowance of interns from RM1.60 an hour to RM5 an hour, effective 1st September!

“We have just ended a Special Cabinet Meeting to discuss the issues of youths and the government has agreed to increase the rate of allowance from RM1.60 to RM5… an increase of more than three times from RM300 to RM900 a month,” Syed Saddiq stated.
“This a very good increase… from no payment at all to RM15 a day, and now to an expected RM45 a day,” he added in a video on Twitter.
The announcement was also made officially on the Youth and Sports Ministry’s official Twitter account.
This is definitely a good move and we can’t wait for this to implemented in all sectors! Do you think this is a good move?
