The labour day in Singapore is one of the few public holidays in the country to celebrate without any private drive or public property being burnt down on that day. In Singapore, May Day is observed on the first of May every year as an annual mark of solidarity among workers struggling for decent wages and better working conditions. The labour day as an annual public holiday was started only in 1960 when the People’s Action Party (PAP) came to power. It is considered as the most labour-friendly government amongst all government parties in the world.
labour day Singapore images can be found everywhere. They are posted on banners, murals and other public posters and even on household knickknacks like cooking pots and utensils. Workers from all over the country take out their banners and participate in the labour day Singapore celebrations by participating in different labour day Singapore activities. They enjoy the activities such as burning diaries, painting shoes and taking pictures of labour icons, like the Big Red House, the Singapore Exchange and other labour icons. Some of them also visit their hometowns and share the activities and fun, they have enjoyed in other countries with posters and photos of their favourite destinations.
On the other hand, non-government organisations supporting labour rights also arrange for events and programmes on labour day for the employees and the workers of their organisations. A number of labour organisations also organise their own labour day celebrations in an attempt to organise better pay and conditions among their labour force. The erstwhile British colonies in Singapore have organized their own versions of hari raya day since colonial days. The spirit of unity and brotherhood really is there in this island, which is why we see so many labour organisations and trade unions organising their own events on this day.
