Mr. Ali Janah has been replaced on the minimum wage board by the Secretary-General of the National Federation of Maldivian Employers Mr. Adnan Haleem.

Mr. Janah resigned from all his appointed posts on government boards including the Minimum wage board last May due to criticism he received on social media and was replaced by Mr. Adnan who was appointed to the post on May 14.
