Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) has put the entire blame on the UMNO-led BN government for Sabahans' low take home pay of any state in Malaysia. Our average working adult and young graduate take home pay in Sabah remains the LOWEST even though we are blessed with abundance of natural resources like oil and gas, palm oil, timber and rubber.With referring to Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam said the average salary in Sabah is merely RM 577 per month at the moment as reported by NST (http://www.nst.com.my/top-news/minimum-wage-likely-next-month-1.47984#ixzz1mk6Bvnt4)
UMNO BN-led government recently announced that in 8 years from now, Sabahans' take home pay will be increased to RM 32,400 per annum which translates to RM 2,700.00 per month in 2020 as reported by OCDN.
