May Day again

Happy May Day, the birthday of this half-asleep blog!

It is a depressing day for the nation, as several workers were arrested, reads the headline:
Demo Hari Buruh: Enam ditahan polis,

Personally, it was a nice day for me, as I had a one-day trip to Penang, 6 am till 8 pm,
to visit Mom and a dear friend HM Kaik Hong. We also made a trip to Pantai Remis
to attend an opening ceremony of a Fishery Company belonging to Teck Heng's
business partner. Furthermore, it was a superb day for being able to have a trip-long
chat with my buddy-friend of 40 years, Teck Heng; as well as coming back with my daughter.

I am hopeful of a better year for Malaysian labour, as the Malaysian HR Ministry
is talking about Minimum Pay, as issue which has been championed by the Opposition
& MTUC. Unless the present government does something more proactively for our
workers, we shall see a change to a more workers-friendly government soon... very soon indeed!
