This year's May Day rally in Kuala Lumpur was extra special for demonstrators after police allowed them into Dataran Merdeka for the first time since 2014.
"Workers have liberated Dataran Merdeka!" PSM activist KS Bawani shouted as the cheering 500-strong crowd marched into the square.
The Labour Day rally began at 10.30am at Maju Junction along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, and was initially to proceed to Medan Pasar – as it was assumed that Dataran Merdeka, as usual, would be closed off to rallies.
Besides PSM, the organisers said 99 NGOs had joined the rally.
As they marched, the crowd, clad mostly in red, chanted several slogans such as "Long live the workers," "Stop discrimination," "Raise the minimum wage," "Control the price of goods," and "Free the media," among others.
