Five Things to Do on May Day for Bored Singaporeans

If you do not have any programs for the May Day public holiday tomorrow, fret not, here are some suggestions for self-amusement while we celebrate the achievements of workers globally:

1. Like our Singapore Labour Chief, Lim Swee Say’s Facebook Page and drop a note to thank him if you think he had done a good job in representing all Singapore workers.

2. Head down to the local bookshop and stock up on a few copies of Dilbert to read at home and laugh at white collar workers.

3. Rent some labour themed movies online. Recommended titles: The Internship (2013), Just Follow Law 我在政府部门的日子 (2007), The Pursuit of Happiness (2006), Fun with Dick and Jane (2005) and Capitalism: A Love Story (2009).

4. Watch North Korean motivational videos on youtube to learn what is true labour dedication. Here are a few samples:

5. Join the Singapore National Trade Union Congress (NTUC) as a union member. Perks are touted to include career protection, networking opportunities and discounts at NTUC FairPrice.

Happy May Day everyone! 🙂
