PSM has called on the federal government to take urgent action in addressing wage stagnation among fresh graduates, warning that the issue reflects a broader failure of the neoliberal economic model.

Referring to findings from the PNB Research Institute (PNBRI), the party highlighted that the starting salary for first-degree holders now is nearly equivalent to that of SPM holders in 2022, compared to being 2.7 times higher in 1997.
