Sejarah perjalanan muzik Shila Amzah bakal diraikan dalam sebuah malam penuh emosi menerusi konsert “KITA – 25 Tahun Bersama” yang bakal berlangsung di Arena of Stars, Resorts World Genting pada 15 Ogos 2026.
Lebih daripada sekadar sebuah persembahan, konsert ini menjadi simbol perjalanan panjang seorang penyanyi yang membesar bersama industri muzik dan berjaya membawa nama Malaysia ke pentas antarabangsa.
Bermula sejak usia muda, Shila Amzah telah melalui pelbagai fasa perubahan muzik, cabaran industri dan kejayaan yang membentuk identitinya sebagai seorang penghibur versatil.
Kini selepas 25 tahun, beliau kembali ke pentas besar untuk berkongsi kisah perjalanan tersebut bersama peminat yang sentiasa menjadi kekuatan utama dalam kerjayanya.
Menerusi “KITA – 25 Tahun Bersama”, peminat bakal dibawa mengembara menerusi himpunan lagu-lagu popular yang menjadi penanda zaman dalam hidup ramai pendengar.
Daripada lagu balada penuh emosi sehingga karya berentak lebih rancak, sebanyak 40 lagu bakal dipersembahkan termasuk karya Melayu, Mandarin dan Inggeris.
Tidak hanya bergantung kepada nostalgia, konsert ini turut menampilkan konsep persembahan moden dengan produksi berskala besar, susunan muzik baharu dan visual yang bakal memberikan pengalaman berbeza.
Malam tersebut turut diserikan dengan kemunculan artis jemputan seperti DJ Fuzz, Balan Kashmir, Kidd Santhe, Mimy Fly dan Hael Husaini.
Menurut Shila, pentas “KITA – 25 Tahun Bersama” adalah peluang untuk beliau membalas penghargaan kepada semua yang telah menjadi sebahagian daripada kisah hidupnya.
“Saya mahu semua yang hadir merasakan mereka turut menjadi sebahagian daripada perjalanan 25 tahun ini. Setiap lagu membawa kenangan dan saya tidak sabar untuk berkongsi semuanya bersama peminat,” katanya.
Dengan sokongan Pink Asia, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Resorts World Genting dan Visit Malaysia 2026, konsert ini dijangka menjadi salah satu acara muzik paling dinantikan pada tahun 2026.
Nama Ismail Izzani bukan lagi asing dalam industri muzik Malaysia. Selepas mencipta pelbagai karya dan mencuba pelbagai pendekatan muzik sejak kemunculannya, penyanyi serta penulis lagu itu kini kembali dengan sebuah karya baharu yang membawa mesej lebih matang menerusi single “ONE ON ONE”.
Diterbitkan oleh Universal Music Malaysia, lagu ini menjadi pembuka kepada perjalanan album penuh Ismail yang dijadualkan dilancarkan tahun ini. Menampilkan hasil ciptaan dan terbitan ALYPH, “ONE ON ONE” memperlihatkan gabungan kreativiti dua figura muzik yang mempunyai pemahaman mendalam terhadap arah seni masing-masing.
Mengangkat tema mengenai hubungan istimewa antara dua insan, “ONE ON ONE” membawa pendengar menyelami perasaan apabila seseorang hanya mahu menikmati masa bersama insan tersayang. Lagu ini mengetengahkan nilai sebuah hubungan yang tidak memerlukan perkara besar, sebaliknya cukup dengan kehadiran dan perhatian daripada seseorang yang bermakna.
Menurut Ismail, lagu tersebut menggambarkan perasaan apabila dunia seolah-olah berhenti seketika apabila bersama individu yang paling dihargai.
“Bagi saya, ‘ONE ON ONE’ adalah lagu yang sangat dekat dengan kehidupan. Ia menceritakan tentang perasaan apabila kita hanya mahu menikmati masa bersama seseorang tanpa memikirkan perkara lain. Kadang-kadang momen yang paling sederhana itulah yang paling bermakna,” katanya.
Kolaborasi bersama ALYPH sekali lagi membuktikan keserasian antara kedua-dua artis tersebut dalam menghasilkan karya yang mempunyai identiti tersendiri. Walaupun pernah bekerjasama sebelum ini, Ismail menyifatkan proses menghasilkan lagu kali ini lebih istimewa kerana mereka mempunyai ruang yang lebih luas untuk meneroka idea.
Jelas Ismail, hubungan kerja yang terbina bersama ALYPH banyak membantu dalam menghasilkan karya yang lebih ikhlas. Setiap sesi di studio bukan sahaja dipenuhi perbincangan mengenai muzik, malah turut melibatkan perkongsian pengalaman hidup yang menjadi inspirasi kepada penciptaan lagu.
Bagi Ismail, proses kreatif yang lebih santai dan terbuka itu membolehkan “ONE ON ONE” muncul sebagai sebuah lagu yang mempunyai nilai peribadi. Ia bukan sahaja membawa melodi yang mudah diterima, malah menyampaikan emosi yang mampu dirasai oleh pendengar.
Walaupun ramai peminat menyifatkan lagu ini mempunyai elemen yang mengingatkan mereka kepada karya awal Ismail, penyanyi itu melihatnya sebagai satu perkembangan semula jadi dalam perjalanan muziknya. Beliau tidak mahu terikat dengan bayangan masa lalu, sebaliknya mahu terus bergerak ke hadapan dengan identiti yang lebih matang.
“Setiap lagu mempunyai cerita sendiri. Saya menghargai semua karya terdahulu, tetapi ‘ONE ON ONE’ adalah gambaran tentang siapa saya sekarang dan arah muzik yang ingin saya bawa selepas ini,” ujarnya.
Single ini juga mempunyai kepentingan tersendiri kerana menjadi lagu pertama yang dipilih untuk album baharu Ismail. Pemilihan tersebut melambangkan keyakinan beliau terhadap hala tuju muzik yang bakal dipersembahkan kepada peminat menerusi projek berkenaan.
Selepas melalui pelbagai pengalaman dalam industri hiburan, Ismail kini mahu memberikan karya yang lebih mencerminkan perkembangan dirinya sebagai seorang artis. Album yang bakal hadir nanti dijangka menjadi satu perjalanan muzik yang memperlihatkan sisi baharu serta lebih matang daripada penyanyi tersebut.
Dengan pelancaran “ONE ON ONE”, Ismail berharap peminat dapat merasai emosi yang ingin disampaikan dan terus mengikuti perjalanan muziknya selepas ini. Beliau turut meminta sokongan peminat sementara pasukannya menyiapkan album penuh yang bakal membawa lebih banyak kejutan.
Single “ONE ON ONE” kini boleh distrim menerusi semua platform penstriman digital.
Peminat Radja diminta menandakan tarikh baharu apabila Konsert Revolusi Radja 25 Tahun kini dijadualkan berlangsung pada 19 September 2026 di Stadium Hoki Bukit Jalil.
Menurut DHYAH PRODUCTION dan INFINITY LOVE CREATIVE VENTURES, keputusan menukar tarikh dibuat selepas mengambil kira kesesakan jadual acara hiburan serta beberapa faktor semasa yang boleh menjejaskan pengalaman penonton sekiranya konsert diteruskan mengikut jadual asal.
Wakil penganjur, Mahbub Dermawan berkata, keutamaan mereka adalah memastikan peminat menikmati konsert dalam keadaan yang lebih selesa dan teratur.
“Kami mahu ulang tahun ke-25 Radja diraikan dengan penuh meriah. Tarikh baharu ini memberi lebih banyak ruang kepada peminat untuk hadir tanpa perlu berdepan kesesakan atau pertindihan dengan acara lain. Terima kasih atas kesabaran dan sokongan yang diberikan,” katanya.
Konsert ini dijangka menjadi malam penuh nostalgia apabila Radja membawakan lagu-lagu yang telah menjadi sebahagian daripada perjalanan hidup ramai peminat di Malaysia dan Indonesia.
Selain persembahan utama daripada Radja, beberapa artis jemputan turut akan diumumkan bagi memeriahkan sambutan ulang tahun bersejarah tersebut.
Penganjur turut memaklumkan bahawa semua tiket yang telah dibeli kekal sah digunakan pada 19 September 2026 dan tidak memerlukan pembelian baharu.
Harga tiket bermula daripada RM75 sehingga RM1,200. Maklumat lanjut boleh didapati menerusi laman rasmi myticket.asia.
Buat julung-julung kalinya dalam sejarah 25 tahun penganjurannya, Anugerah Industri Muzik (AIM), platform pengiktirafan muzik paling berprestij dan berpengaruh di Malaysia sejak 1993, bakal mencipta satu lagi detik bersejarah apabila edisi Jubli Peraknya, AIM25, akan berlangsung di Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK), Sarawak pada 26 September 2026.
Ini merupakan kali pertama AIM dianjurkan di luar Semenanjung Malaysia, sekali gus membuka satu lembaran baharu dalam perjalanan industri muzik tanah air.

AIM25: Meraikan 25 Tahun Perjalanan Muzik Malaysia
Diasaskan oleh Persatuan Industri Rakaman Malaysia (RIM) pada tahun 1993, Anugerah Industri Muzik (AIM) telah menjadi pentas utama dalam menghargai pencapaian artis, pencipta lagu, penerbit, pemuzik serta barisan kreatif yang terus mencorakkan industri muzik Malaysia.
Sebagai badan yang mewakili pemegang hak rakaman muzik di Malaysia serta ahli kepada International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), RIM memainkan peranan penting dalam memperkukuhkan ekosistem muzik tempatan dan memastikan perkembangan industri terus bergerak seiring perubahan zaman.
Bersempena ulang tahun ke-25 penganjurannya, AIM25 hadir bukan sekadar sebagai sebuah acara anugerah, tetapi sebagai simbol perjalanan panjang industri muzik Malaysia yang terus berkembang dengan pelbagai genre, bahasa dan identiti budaya.
Kuching Cipta Sejarah Baharu AIM25
Pemilihan Kuching sebagai lokasi penganjuran AIM25 buat pertama kali menjadi satu detik penting dalam usaha memperluaskan pengiktirafan industri muzik negara secara lebih menyeluruh.
Lebih daripada sekadar lokasi acara, Kuching bakal menjadi pentas yang menghimpunkan pelbagai warna muzik Malaysia dengan menyatukan bakat dan karya dari Semenanjung, Sabah serta Sarawak dalam satu acara berprestij peringkat nasional.
Penganjuran AIM25 di Sarawak turut membuktikan keupayaan negeri itu sebagai destinasi utama bagi acara seni, budaya dan hiburan berskala besar, di samping membuka peluang baharu untuk memperkukuhkan industri kreatif, sektor pelancongan dan ekonomi acara.
Pada masa sama, AIM25 memberi peluang lebih luas kepada bakat dari seluruh negara untuk mendapat pengiktirafan, sekali gus membuktikan bahawa muzik Malaysia terbina daripada pelbagai suara dan latar budaya yang saling melengkapi.
Kategori Baharu Raikan Kepelbagaian Muzik Malaysia
Sempena sambutan Jubli Peraknya, AIM25 turut memperkenalkan dua kategori baharu yang mencerminkan kepelbagaian budaya serta perkembangan muzik Malaysia.
Kategori “LAGU BORNEO TERBAIK” diperkenalkan bagi menghargai karya muzik yang mengetengahkan kekayaan budaya, bahasa, tradisi serta identiti unik masyarakat Sabah dan Sarawak, termasuk karya yang membawa semangat serta kreativiti komuniti Borneo.
Manakala kategori “LAGU PERAYAAN TERBAIK” pula memberi penghargaan kepada karya muzik yang menggambarkan kemeriahan, nilai dan tradisi sambutan perayaan masyarakat Malaysia yang berbilang kaum.
Pengenalan kategori baharu ini menunjukkan komitmen AIM dalam memastikan pengiktirafan muzik negara terus berkembang selari dengan kepelbagaian budaya dan kreativiti masyarakat Malaysia.
Sokongan Strategik Untuk Industri Kreatif Negara
AIM25 turut mendapat sokongan daripada pihak kerajaan yang melihat industri muzik sebagai salah satu komponen penting dalam perkembangan ekonomi kreatif Malaysia.
Melalui Kementerian Komunikasi, sejumlah RM950,000 Dana Pengiktirafan akan diberikan kepada pemenang bagi 16 kategori AIM25 menerusi peruntukan pembangunan yang diuruskan oleh MyCreative Ventures (MyCV).
Sokongan ini membuktikan komitmen berterusan kerajaan dalam menggalakkan kecemerlangan seni, memperkukuhkan industri kreatif negara serta menghargai sumbangan para penggiat muzik tempatan.
Selain itu, Kementerian Pelancongan, Industri Kreatif dan Seni Persembahan Sarawak (MTCP Sarawak) turut menyokong AIM25 menerusi Geran Sokongan Acara MTCP Sarawak, selari dengan usaha Sarawak untuk menjadi hab seni, budaya dan acara kreatif bertaraf nasional serta serantau.
TVS Bawa Suara Sarawak Ke Seluruh Malaysia
Sejak ditubuhkan pada tahun 2020, TVS berkembang daripada sebuah stesen televisyen tempatan yang membawa kisah, budaya dan aspirasi Sarawak kepada sebuah platform penyiaran yang semakin dikenali di peringkat nasional.
Sebagai satu-satunya stesen televisyen di Malaysia yang menyiarkan berita dalam empat bahasa iaitu Bahasa Malaysia, Bahasa Inggeris, Iban dan Mandarin, TVS terus memainkan peranan dalam meraikan kepelbagaian masyarakat menerusi kandungan yang lebih inklusif.
Pertumbuhan TVS turut dilihat menerusi peningkatan capaian penonton dengan rekod 93.1 juta tontonan televisyen serta 403 juta tontonan digital dan media sosial di seluruh negara pada suku pertama 2026.

PENANG 10 July 2026 – Penang Hill Corporation (PHC) and Canon Marketing Malaysia (“Canon”) have formalised a five-year strategic collaboration to support conservation, biodiversity documentation, and environmental awareness initiatives at Penang Hill.
Under the collaboration, Canon has been engaged as the Official Imaging Partner of PHC, contributing its imaging technologies and expertise in professional cameras and high-quality print solutions to help document and showcase the ecological significance and beauty of the Penang Hill Biosphere Reserve (PHBR). Canon has been a strong supporter and active sponsor of the Penang Hill Festival since its inception in 2018.
Canon will be supporting PHC’s Bird Documentation Project, organising annual photography and videography workshops, curating bird photography exhibitions and creating dedicated birdwatching spots for visitors and photography enthusiasts to experience Penang Hill’s biodiversity.
Designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve under the Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme since 2021, the Penang Hill Biosphere Reserve (PHBR) covers Penang Hill and its surrounding areas, spanning 12,481 hectares and home to more than 2,000 species of flora and over 500 species of fauna, making it Malaysia’s only urban-adjacent coastal and terrestrial rainforest ecosystem of its kind.
The partnership will support PHC’s ongoing biodiversity conservation and environmental awareness initiatives in collaboration with Canon, including bird biodiversity documentation, photography and videography workshops, conservation exhibitions, and the development of birdwatching spots across Penang Hill.
“Guided by the philosophy of ‘kyosei’, living and working together for the common good, this partnership reflects our commitment to environmental stewardship and community engagement. We believe imaging can be a powerful tool to elevate conservation and awareness efforts. Through this partnership, we are bringing Canon’s strengths in imaging to support the documentation of Malaysia’s natural heritage while encouraging greater appreciation for biodiversity,” said Masato Yoshiie, President and CEO of Canon Marketing Malaysia.
The five-year partnership will see Canon working closely with Penang Hill Corporation, leveraging its imaging technology and expertise to support the documentation, conservation and promotion of the rich biodiversity within the Penang Hill Biosphere Reserve.
Dato’ Cheok Lay Leng, General Manager of Penang Hill Corporation, added, “Penang Hill is not only a popular ecotourism destination, but a vital biodiversity and ecological asset that must be preserved responsibly. As a Biosphere Reserve, it serves as a living laboratory and testbed for conservation, research, and education, supported by community participation.
This partnership strengthens our commitment to biodiversity conservation and environmental awareness by enhancing documentation efforts and public engagement. It further reinforces Penang Hill Biosphere Reserve’s vision as a model for sustainable tourism and environmental stewardship, delivering lasting benefits for nature and future generations”.
As part of the collaboration, Canon will provide professional cameras and lenses to support PHC’s Bird Documentation Project, creating a long-term visual archive of bird species within the Biosphere Reserve. This archive will serve as a valuable reference for research, education, and conservation awareness, developed in close collaboration with the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS), drawing on their expertise in birds.
The Bird Photography Exhibition is available for public viewing at the Penang Hill Station and features photos of native and migratory species found at Penang Hill, printed using the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-510
Both PHC and Canon will also jointly organise annual photography and videography workshops at Penang Hill, including programmes held during the Penang Hill Festival, to encourage greater public appreciation for nature conservation through visual storytelling.
In addition, selected bird photographic works featuring native and migratory species found at Penang Hill will be exhibited at the Penang Hill Station, while five dedicated birdwatching spots will be introduced to improve accessibility for visitors, photographers and birdwatching enthusiasts.
The collaboration reflects the shared commitment of PHC and Canon towards conservation, biodiversity awareness, and sustainable public engagement, bringing together environmental stewardship and imaging expertise.
Organon Malaysia, DKSH Malaysia and BIG CARING Group (BCG) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to strengthen healthcare access across Malaysia by bringing together Organon’s healthcare portfolio, BCG’s nationwide retail pharmacy network of more than 600 outlets and DKSH’s healthcare distribution expertise. Through this collaboration, the three organisations aim to improve the availability of healthcare solutions for communities nationwide while supporting health awareness and community wellbeing initiatives.
Under the partnership, Organon will expand access to its healthcare portfolio through BCG’s extensive retail pharmacy network, which includes BIG Pharmacy, CARING Pharmacy, Georgetown Pharmacy, Ting Pharmacy and Wellings Pharmacy. Supported by DKSH’s market expansion capabilities, the collaboration will help connect more Malaysians with essential healthcare solutions and services closer to their communities.
Beyond strengthening retail and distribution channels, the partnership will also focus on initiatives that promote health education, disease awareness and community wellbeing. By combining their expertise and resources, Organon, DKSH and BCG aim to create greater impact in improving healthcare accessibility and supporting healthier communities across the country.
As part of their commitment to advancing public health, the partners also introduced RELIEF, a new initiative focused on increasing allergy awareness and improving access to respiratory and dermatological allergy solutions across the region. The initiative reflects Organon’s ongoing commitment to enhancing allergy care and empowering communities with greater health knowledge.
The partnership will also support the Resilient Community Initiative (RCI) WASH Sabah 2026, carried out in collaboration with non-governmental organisation Doctors on Ground (DnG). The programme aims to address essential water, sanitation, hygiene and healthcare needs among underserved and stateless communities in Sabah. Through healthcare services, health education programmes and the distribution of essential supplies, the initiative is expected to benefit between 600 and 1,000 individuals.

Together, these efforts highlight the importance of collaboration between healthcare providers, retail networks and distribution partners in creating meaningful health outcomes for Malaysians.

“Healthcare has the greatest impact when people can access the support they need within their own communities. As Malaysia’s leading retail pharmacy chain, we see the important role community pharmacies play in increasing healthcare awareness, encouraging early action and connecting people with the right care and support. Through this partnership with Organon and DKSH, we are combining our strengths to expand access to healthcare solutions while supporting initiatives that help build healthier and more resilient communities across Malaysia,” said Ch’ng Haw Chong, Director of Procurement, BIG CARING Group.

Selepas lebih tiga dekad mencipta fenomena menerusi lagu ikonik “She’s Gone”, kumpulan rock legenda dari Amerika Syarikat, SteelHeart, kembali mengubat kerinduan peminat dengan pelancaran single terbaharu mereka berjudul “Without You”. Lagu tersebut kini boleh didengarkan di semua platform penstriman digital, dengan keistimewaan tersendiri kerana ia sebenarnya telah dirakam hampir 30 tahun lalu sebelum akhirnya diperdengarkan kepada peminat di seluruh dunia.
Nama SteelHeart sememangnya tidak asing lagi dalam kalangan peminat muzik rock di Malaysia. Lagu “She’s Gone” kekal sebagai salah satu balada rock paling popular sepanjang zaman dan masih menjadi pilihan ramai sehingga hari ini, selain terus mencatat jutaan jumlah penstriman di platform digital. Malaysia turut menjadi antara pasaran terbesar SteelHeart di Asia Tenggara bersama Indonesia dan Filipina.
Vokalis utama SteelHeart, Miljenko Matijevic, yang terkenal dengan kemampuan vokalnya yang mampu mencapai julat empat oktaf, menyifatkan “Without You” sebagai antara rakaman paling penuh emosi sepanjang perjalanan kariernya. Lagu ini turut menampilkan susunan muzik bersama orkestra 40 pemuzik, memberikan sentuhan lebih besar dan mendalam kepada karya tersebut.
“Saya menunggu hampir 30 tahun untuk berkongsi versi ‘Without You’ ini. Daripada zaman pita kaset dan CD sehinggalah ke era digital hari ini, akhirnya lagu ini dapat didengarkan oleh semua orang. Patah hati tidak pernah kedengaran seindah ini,” kata Miljenko Matijevic.
Menariknya, rakaman awal “Without You” bermula pada tahun 1996 ketika lagu tersebut sedang mencipta fenomena global menerusi versi nyanyian Mariah Carey. Namun, Miljenko memilih untuk menyimpan rakaman itu dan hanya berkongsi kepada peminat apabila merasakan waktu yang tepat telah tiba.
Lagu “Without You” merupakan karya asal ciptaan Pete Ham dan Tom Evans daripada kumpulan Badfinger. Lagu tersebut sebelum ini pernah dipopularkan oleh beberapa nama besar seperti Harry Nilsson, Air Supply dan Mariah Carey, sebelum kini diberi nafas baharu menerusi interpretasi tersendiri daripada SteelHeart.
Pelancaran single ini turut menjadi sebahagian daripada kempen SteelHeart 30 bagi meraikan ulang tahun album sulung mereka yang dilancarkan pada tahun 1990. Album tersebut menerima pengiktirafan Platinum, berjaya mencatat jualan lebih 33,000 unit pada hari pertama pelancarannya di Jepun dan turut memasuki carta Billboard 200.
Selain “Without You”, lagu “She’s Gone” terus menjadi legasi terbesar SteelHeart apabila mencatat lebih 278 juta penstriman di Spotify. Populariti lagu tersebut masih kukuh di Malaysia, dengan ramai peminat generasi lama dan baharu terus menghayati karya yang membesar bersama mereka.
Kehadiran “Without You” turut mendapat sambutan awal di media sosial apabila beberapa pencipta kandungan terkenal dari Asia Tenggara menggunakan sedutan rasmi lagu itu di TikTok. Perkembangan tersebut membuka peluang untuk SteelHeart memperkenalkan muzik mereka kepada generasi pendengar baharu.
Selain mengetuai SteelHeart, Miljenko Matijevic turut dikenali sebagai suara nyanyian bagi watak yang dilakonkan Mark Wahlberg dalam filem “Rock Star”. Beliau juga pernah beraksi bersama anggota asal kumpulan The Doors dan menjadi inspirasi ramai selepas berjaya bangkit meneruskan kerjaya muziknya selepas mengalami kemalangan pentas serius pada tahun 1992.
Video muzik rasmi “Without You” akan ditayangkan pada 16 Julai 2026 menerusi saluran YouTube rasmi SteelHeart. Miljenko Matijevic juga akan bersama peminat secara langsung semasa tayangan perdana tersebut, selain mengadakan sesi soal jawab khas untuk berkongsi kisah di sebalik penghasilan lagu yang telah dinantikan hampir tiga dekad ini.
Fair pay is no longer enough to make employees in Malaysia feel truly valued. As workplace expectations continue to change, employees are increasingly looking beyond market benchmarks when evaluating whether their salary reflects their worth and contribution.
According to Jobstreet by SEEK’s latest Salary Pulse 2026 report, while 81% of Malaysian workers believe they are paid fairly for their current roles, only 49% say they are satisfied with their salaries. The findings highlight a growing gap between employees feeling fairly compensated and feeling genuinely rewarded for their efforts.
Based on responses from 1,010 employed Malaysians aged between 18 and 64, the report examines how workers view salary fairness, pay increases and compensation discussions. It also provides employers with insights on how better remuneration strategies can improve employee engagement, motivation and retention.
The findings show a shift in how employees define value at work. For many, salary is no longer just about market rates or industry standards, but also a reflection of whether they feel recognised, appreciated and supported in their career journey.
While competitive salaries remain an important factor, employees now expect their pay to acknowledge their individual contributions, support career development and reflect the impact they bring to their organisations. This means salary discussions are becoming just as important as the actual salary decisions made by employers.
Employees are looking beyond fair pay
The report found that employees are assessing their salaries based on more than just market comparisons. Among workers who believe their salary is “about right”, only 41% said they are genuinely satisfied with their pay.
Instead, salary satisfaction is increasingly influenced by factors such as workload, recognition, career growth opportunities and whether their income allows them to achieve their desired lifestyle. The findings suggest that feeling valued plays a major role in how employees view their overall compensation.
“Our research shows employees are making an important distinction between being paid fairly and feeling genuinely valued,” said Nicholas Lam, Managing Director of Jobstreet by SEEK Malaysia.
“Competitive salaries will always remain important, but they are no longer the only factor employees consider. Workers want their pay to reflect their contributions, provide opportunities for growth and give them confidence that they are moving forward in their careers. For employers, remuneration is now closely linked with communication, recognition and trust, not just numbers.”
Why salary satisfaction matters
The gap between fair pay and salary satisfaction carries significant implications for employers.
Employees who are satisfied with their salaries are nearly three times more likely to feel motivated and willing to contribute beyond their usual responsibilities. Meanwhile, employees who are unhappy with their pay are 2.5 times more likely to consider looking for a new job.
The findings highlight that while salary is only one part of the overall employee experience, feeling properly rewarded remains a key factor in building engagement and retaining talent.
“Pay conversations should not be treated as just an annual administrative process. They are opportunities to build trust, manage expectations and show employees that their contributions are recognised,” Lam added.
“When employees understand how salary decisions are made and what steps they can take to progress, they are more likely to remain engaged even when discussions around pay are challenging.”
Employees will not compromise their values for a bigger paycheck
While Malaysian employees are willing to make certain compromises for higher salaries, the research shows they still place strong importance on workplace culture and personal values.
Nearly one in five employees (19%) would consider accepting a lower job title in exchange for a 10% salary increase, while 21% would be willing to stay available outside working hours.
However, only 3% would accept working for a company with a toxic culture for the same salary increase, while just 8% would join an organisation where its values do not align with their own.
These findings support earlier insights from Jobstreet by SEEK’s Workplace Happiness Index, which showed that purpose and a positive workplace environment remain among the key drivers of employee satisfaction.
Recognition matters more than standard salary increases
More than half (56%) of Malaysian employees received a salary increase in the past year. However, most increments remained relatively modest, with 56% receiving increases of up to 5%, while 30% received between 6% and 10%.
The report also revealed that the way salary increases are given can influence employee satisfaction. Among employees who received performance-based increments, 65% said they were satisfied with their salary, compared with 52% of those who received company-wide adjustments.
The findings suggest that employees place greater value on salary increases that clearly recognise their personal achievements and contributions rather than standard adjustments given across the organisation.
Confidence in salary conversations remains a challenge
Despite recognising the importance of discussing pay, many Malaysian employees remain hesitant to start conversations about salary increases. Only 40% said they feel comfortable asking for a pay rise, while one in five admitted they are uncomfortable bringing up the topic.
However, employees who do ask are often successful. Among those who have requested a salary increase, 78% managed to receive one. Regular discussions about career growth and compensation can also help employees become more confident in communicating their value.
Helping employees feel genuinely rewarded
To improve salary satisfaction and strengthen employee engagement, Jobstreet by SEEK recommends employers take a more holistic approach towards remuneration.
Employers should look beyond market benchmarks by ensuring salaries not only remain competitive but also recognise employee contributions, performance and long-term growth potential.
Companies should also be more transparent about pay decisions by clearly explaining salary review processes, career progression opportunities and performance expectations to build trust among employees.
Creating opportunities for regular pay conversations is equally important. Instead of limiting discussions to annual reviews, ongoing conversations can help employees understand expectations, address concerns early and maintain stronger engagement.
Beyond salary, consistent recognition through career development opportunities, meaningful feedback and appreciation can also help employees feel valued and motivated.
