Today is the first day of May which is a Labor Day in Malaysia, and as usual it is a non-working day. For years, 1st of May is considered an important day by working people in Malaysia, or at least to those are actively involved in the labor unions. For the majority of them, the day is another holiday where they can rest at home or spend time with family.
There will be a May Day march in Kuala Lumpur where a few hundreds people shouting and demanding for better salary, better working environment and hours, better benefits and better God knows what. Also, there will be a big gathering in indoor stadium or hall where the local or federal government appreciating the workforce for their hard works and then announcing a few things about new labor rule or if lucky new salary schemes.
Whatever it is, happy Labor Day and holiday to all working people in Malaysia.
Meanwhile, here in Melbourne is totally different story because May 1st is not a Labor Day. But, it is a day for scary undead creatures to stalk Melbourne streets. It is a day where hundreds of zombies are marching toward CBD with their wide-eyed, scary moaning and dripping bloods. The undead will chant "brains" loudly at every turns and surely will shock many onlookers. The day is well-known as "Zombie Shuffle". Until now nobody knows the agenda of the zombie and maybe nobody cares.
Although the zombies are undead, they still have to follow strict rules such as road rules. The reason is simple, the authority doesn't want any zombies getting killed by cars or trams. They are also not allowed to intentionally frightening children, the elderly and animals. They are going to be the most well behaved zombies ever.

The same is in Europe. And it's one the days, when working people can express their feelings. There was lots of demonstrations this year.
