    A NEW Tripartite Standard on Advancing Well-being of Lower-Wage Workers will set out good employment practices, while accreditation for the Progressive Wage Model (PWM) will also be introduced.

    "Beyond uplifting wages, we also want to encourage our employers to pay more attention to other aspects of the well-being of our lower-wage workers," said Senior Minister of State for Manpower Zaqy Mohamad at his ministry's Committee of Supply on Monday (Mar 7).
