You can find the original Barisan Sosialis flag from the 1960s here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barisan_Sosialis

And the current Workers Make Possible emblem on their website here: http://workersmakepossible.com

I took the fist and sunray/starburst motif from the WMP emblem and the starred circle from the Barisan Sosialis emblem/party flag.

In my personal biased opinion this historically particular and specific Starred Circle as a fairly unique Singaporean socialist symbol in this context has the potential to be as iconic as the Irish Starry Plough in local culture, especially since it does have already existing historical significance and a history of being repressed and obscured by the powers that be.

It is simple, clean, and easily memorable, and it has a history. As it stands it is quite obscure here unless you happen to be a socialist yourself or are interested in the Cold War history of how they were forced to effectively dissolve, along with the rest of the organised labour movement, in Operation Coldstore and other subsequent operations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Coldstore

Presumably created by artists affiliated with Workers Make Possible(Singapore), stickers created by Migrant Workers Singapore and postgrowthsg.

I took the bandana, badges, and stickers home with me from the rally, which I attended yesterday.

Edit: They were all given out freely

Workers in Singapore destroy a clockface representing Capitalism at the Independent Singapore Labour Day Rally 2026@Hong Lim Park, in the final part of the labour day rally where several workers' organisations and environmental organisations promoted themselves, and several speeches and performances were made.

The recording is OC, as I went to the rally.
