Singtel Sustainability Report 2010/2011

SUPPORT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

As a home grown company with roots that can be traced back to more than 130 years ago, Singtel plays an integral role in nation-building and the development of Singapore as a major communications hub in the region. We support national projects and events that are aligned with Singtel's core competence, such as sponsoring the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in 2010 as its Official Multimedia Services Partner.

YOG Torch Relay

On 13 August 2010, three of our management executives, CEO Singapore Allen Lew, EVP Digital Consumer Yuen Kuan Moon and GDHR Aileen Tan became official torch bearers along the YOG torch relay route.

Some 260 colleagues, dressed in red T-shirts and armed with balloons and banners, lined the route and enthusiastically cheered them on, capturing the spirit of the Games. Singtel also sponsored and supported Singapore's swimming, sailing and football teams.

Doing Our Bit For A Safer Singapore
Singtel supported the public education outreach programme of the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) during the year.

The SCDF makes use of mobile technology to educate the public on fire safety and dealing with emergency situations. It launched a Fire Safety iPhone Application that provides tips on what to do when fires break out.

To support the SCDF's initiatives, we placed leaflets that promote the application at our retail outlets. We also sponsored mobile handsets as lucky draw prizes at the SCDF's roadshows.
