AI Summary

Payments to Quran and Fardu Ain (KAFA) teachers, takmir teachers, and imams are allowances, not fixed salaries. Currently, 34,284 KAFA teachers receive RM1,100 monthly, while 47,052 takmir teachers are paid RM100 per class. Imams receive a monthly allowance of RM850. While acknowledging the minimum wage increase to RM1,700, the government clarifies these payments are allowances and subject to review for potential increases based on national financial capabilities. There are no plans for EPF and SOCSO contributions for takmir teachers as they don't meet the employee definition under the EPF Act 1991.
