Around 15000 Migrant Workers in total attended four hour spectacles at Penjuru Recreation Centre and three other recreation centres to celebrate May Day 2015. The celebrations, organised by the Migrant Workers’ Centre (MWC), featured performances and games as well as a video with NTUC Secretary-General Lim Swee Say giving thanks to migrant workers for their contributions to Singapore’s growth in the past 50 years.

We bring you the highlights of the celebrations.
