Amidst the hustle and demands of daily life, the people of Singapore are rallying for a significant pause this Labour Day. Organized by the advocacy group WorkersMakePossible, a pivotal event will take place at Hong Lim Park on May 1, 2024, from 3 PM to 7 PM, under the banner of reclaiming lives overwhelmed by overwork and undervalued labour.

The event promises to be a groundswell of voices from diverse walks of life, each sharing a common narrative of struggle against an increasingly taxing work culture. “We have been struggling to survive in this system, but together, we can struggle to change it,” states the organizer’s passionate call to arms. This Labour Day gathering is not just a moment of reflection but a mobilization, urging citizens to envision and fight for a fairer future.

Labour Day Booths (3:00 – 5:30 PM)
Prior to the main proceedings, attendees will have the opportunity to engage with 15 local community groups and civil society organizations at various booths. These groups will showcase their efforts towards crafting a more equitable Singapore, offering insights into the real issues faced by workers and presenting avenues for public support and involvement.

Speeches and Performances (5:30 – 7:00 PM)
The formal program kicks off at 5:30 PM with an opening music performance by Maya Raisha Zainudin, setting a reflective tone for the evening. This will be followed by a series of impactful speeches addressing critical issues such as the healthcare system, the realities of gig work, overwork, wage theft, and the challenges faced by low-income families.

[sgbuffett]

I will be there.

[WhatDoYouThink!]

That place is for gay activities

[Ola]

But most people will still vote for PAP, and they expect Changes

They saw with their own eyes, Cosmetic Changes only

If they hope for Transformation, that is ZERO possibility.

[ODA TETSURO]

Can scold Lee Hsien Loong anot? Will get arrested anot?

[K88 shu shu]

ex President candidate TKL not there?

[Oyk]

I will be there.

It's Labour Day. And the protest is about being overworked and undervalued. How is your being there relevant when you have not worked for 18 years?

You forget I used to work jn fast food years ago and the working conditions have declined and cost of.livhbg negated any wage gains by ordinary workers.

Anyway Labor Day is not focused on me but the plight of ordinary Singaporean workers whom I will be there to support.

How much was your hourly wage rate 18 years ago? It's nao $10 to 15 per hour.  Wages have not stagnated.

Btw, the vast majority of workers... which the Labour Movement is about.... are foreigners and not Singaporeans.

Singaporeans are mostly doing white collared work as PMEs. Wherever they are found doing low ses blue collared work, they fit this profile:

1. Seniors who work to pass time 
2. Lived through separation from Malaysia 
3. Have 吃苦 before and therefore don't shun work which are dirty, laborious 
4. Have low self esteem and more humble 

PS: I am speaking in general, there are exceptions

So your honourable presence, I suppose, is meant to stand up for foreign workers. Same like Jamus fighting in Parliament for minimum wages which will benefit foreigners.

[K88 shu shu]

where is this place - Hing Lim?

[Buffybuffy]

Got so much time to organize such protest yet no brains to think how to vote properly to make the change when given the chance.

Eat too full

[Ola]

Even if Opposition wins 65% of the votes,

it is likely only winning one more GRC

PAP has won this battle 5 times by making sure each GRC has 5/ 6 Ministers

Big enough so that opposition cannot win
