The annual May Day rally in Kuala Lumpur was a subdued affair this year, with about 300 people taking part.

In contrast, the crowd numbers were estimated at 1,500 last year and 20,000 the year before.

The largest May Day rally in recent memory was held in 2014 following the passage of the Goods and Services Tax Act 2014, where an estimated 50,000 people took part.

This time round, the main theme for the rally, organised by Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) was the establishment of a Workers Retrenchment Fund.
