Labour Day: Fair Wages, stronger labour laws and workers’ rights vital, says Lam Thye

In conjunction with the Labour Day celebrations, the Alliance for a Safe Community chairman said workplace safety, mental health, ensuring equal pay for equal work, and closing the gap between urban and rural employment opportunities should be prioritised.
