It wasn’t the Grammys or Oscars, but the May Day Awards held on 5 May 2018 at Mediacorp’s MES Theatre still had plenty of stars – 141 to be exact.
These men, women and organisations were honoured for their outstanding contributions in making a difference to the lives of workers.
The highest award – the Distinguished Comrade of Labour – went to the former NTUC Secretary-General and former Manpower Minister Lim Swee Say for his remarkable service to working people spanning two decades.
No extra points for guessing who graced the cover of our May Day Awards 2018 magazine – it was Mr Lim Swee Say, of course!
