FOREWORD
SECRETARY GENERAL
The Ministry of Human Resources (MOHR) is committed in ensuring the country’s skilled workforce
is in line with industry needs based on national human capital development in line with the
aspiration to transform the country’s labour market. Emerging technologies need to focus on the
type of work involving knowledge-based workforce as well as skills in certain areas.
Governments through various agencies have developed policies and implemented programs to
support rapid industrial development. The Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET)
Masterplan is created to ensure that the country’s skilled workers continue to meet the growing
demands of industrial technology. Many TVET-based training institutes have been established to
ensure that the country’s workforce is up to date with the current technology.
The publication of the Guide on Starting Wages for 200 Selected Skills Based Jobs, Second Edition
(Year 2020) is a continuous strategy by the Ministry to support TVET’s branding and profile
consistent with the industry revolution 4.0.
i Guide on Starting Wages

The introduction of commensurate basic salary rates base on skills acquired by Certificate holders
and Diploma is now being refined. This Guide is an acknowledgment for TVET graduates who
showcase their internationally recognized skills and basic starting salaries based on minimum
wage rates of RM1,200.00 per month in major urban areas beginning February 1, 2020.
My sincere appreciation to all who are involved directly or indirectly in making this Guide a success.
Hopefully this Guide will be a reference to employers in implementing the recommended starting
salary thus boosting the motivation and productivity of workers in the country.
DATO’ AMIR BIN OMAR

Secretary General
