What is Singapore’s May 1 public holiday called?

Singapore’s May 1 public holiday is called Labour Day.

Labour Day is a public holiday in Singapore and is observed annually on May 1, following the international calendar used by many countries. It recognizes workers and the role of organized labor in the country’s development.

The holiday is closely associated with the National Trades Union Congress, Singapore’s central trade-union organization. Official messages and public events commonly emphasize workers’ welfare, employment conditions, and cooperation among unions, employers, and the government.

Singapore Labour Day should not be confused with National Day, which is celebrated on August 9. National Day marks Singapore’s independence in 1965, while Labour Day belongs to the international May 1 workers’ tradition.
