This year was the 129th anniversary of May Day, the international workers day. Amid continuing attacks on workers ability to organise and confront the ongoing global economic crisis, millions of workers took to the streets all around the world. In the Asia Pacific region, rallies were held in Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Cambodia, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, to mention a few. Unfortunately workers in Kuala Lumpur – Malaysia, Seoul – South Korea and Istanbul – Turkey were faced with police repression with many workers injured and arrested.
