Video: Ministry of Funny honours the real labourers on Labour Day

Taking time out from his usual attempts at throwing pick up lines at women and pulling pranks on the unsuspecting public, YouTuber Haresh Tilani of Ministry Of Funny points out what exactly we’re celebrating on Labour Day in his new video, in which he hangs out with two proper labourers to shed some light on their lesser-known lives. 

Bangladeshi nationals Foysal and Mustufa reveal the sacrifices they made and will continue to make to eke out a living as the very construction workers responsible behind Singapore’s gleaming skyscrapers and other buildings. Their stories should offer a wholly different perspective on not just them, but the rest of the migrant workers who’ve made (and built) Singapore their home away from home.
