Well it’s Labor day, most of my friends are enjoying a rare 3-days-long of holiday, some took their chances going back to hometown, some flying for vacation while some other just like me hanging around with friends and family.
While we are enjoying the leisure, they are some real labors that are working today on the labor day, some work just never stop and have to go on as it’s related to everyone’s daily life.
I always have high respect for some professions like cleaner, sewerage line workers, farmers, drivers, policemen, army and fire fighters etc. These are the people who work everyday to keep our daily life running.
I think that it’s a bit unfair that the above mentioned professions are not getting the pay and salary that they deserve.
I probably can’t change any government policies to offer these people a better life, but I can sincerely wish these group of professions a happy labor day.
And to all those who are working today for the benefit of mass community, thank you.

I certainly hope those who are working on labor day earned their holiday pay.

Ermm in Malaysia standard labor rules are triple pay for working on labor day.. not sure if it really applies.
