Singapore - SingTel to axe 500 S'pore staff


SINGAPORE - SingTel, South-east Asia's largest telecom firm, will lay off around 500 staff here, but they will be offered jobs at a unit of China's Huawei Technologies as part of a restructuring.

Sino Huawei Technologies will then operate and maintain SingTel's copper-based voice and data network infrastructure here for an initial period of five years starting from June, SingTel said in a statement.

"The initiative will allow SingTel to focus on core competencies such as product development, marketing and customer engagement," said executive vice-president of networks Tay Soo Meng.

Affected SingTel employees will be offered employment at Huawei with no change to existing roles, responsibilities, remuneration and benefits, the company added.
