Singtel

We’re turning 145 this weekend! Starting from a telephone exchange of just 50 lines in 1879, we’ve since grown into Southeast Asia’s largest telecoms group, reaching over 780 million mobile customers in 21 countries. In addition to consumer services, we offer next-generation connectivity, digital infrastructure and IT solutions to enterprises and organisations in the region. The past 145 years have been an incredible journey made possible by our customers, employees and partners. We’ve made it our purpose to Empower Every Generation – leveraging technology to shape a more sustainable future for all. It’s hard to capture everything we’ve done, but here’s a sneak peek of our book, Voices from Comcentre, it chronicles decades of reinvention, told through the eyes of those who lived it, including many long-serving Singtel staff members who have been with the company since Comcentre was founded in 1979. Watch this space to find out more.   #Singtel #EmpowerEveryGeneration #VoicesFromComcentre #Innovation

Happy to share that over 7,500 enthusiastic participants and volunteers joined us bright and early at East Coast Park this morning in support of the annual Singtel-Singapore Cancer Society Race Against Cancer - one of Singapore’s longest standing and largest charity runs.   Together, we raised almost $1.2 million for those impacted by cancer. Singtel also contributed $250,000 annually to support Singapore Cancer Society’s Help The Children and Youth (HCYP) programme, providing vital support like home tuition, school allowances, annual book prizes, youth camps, and family engagement activities for children and youth impacted by cancer.   Aileen Tan, Singtel’s Group Chief People and Sustainability Officer, said, “We’re committed to empowering vulnerable communities including those affected by cancer. As the title sponsor of Race Against Cancer since 2009, we have been actively raising funds to ensure that cancer patients and their families have access to essential treatment and care, as well as other forms of assistance like subsidies and screenings that can help them manage the disease and the impact to their lives. This event is not only a vital fundraising initiative, but a platform to foster awareness and demonstrate our solidarity with cancer patients and their families. We want them to know that no one should face this journey alone.”   Thank you to everyone who participated and supported this important cause!

With the increasing use of #AI, it’s important for the industry to have appropriate guidelines that ensure the responsible adoption of AI that not only benefits the industry, but also protects customers. We’re glad to share that we’re one of 18 leading global telcos, who are involved in the development of the first telco Responsible AI (RAI) Maturity Roadmap, so telcos can develop and harness the technology ethically. William Woo, Singtel’s Group Chief Information Officer and Group Chief Digital Officer, said, "As a leading digital services provider, the Singtel Group is committed to empowering people and businesses and creating a more sustainable future for all. To ensure AI is developed and used ethically and responsibly, we have collaborated with GSMA to develop the Responsible AI Maturity roadmap which provides the industry with a clear framework for action. This roadmap also guides our own efforts to enhance our responsible AI practices, so enterprises and consumers can benefit from the value creation potential of this next-generation technology safely." Singtel references key regulatory guidelines domestically and globally such as the EU AI Act and US NIST 100-1 AI Risk Management Framework to guide our own approach. This roadmap is one of the many building blocks we are putting in place to promote better industry practices in the digital age. #Singtel #ResponsibleAI #EthicalAI #TechForGood #FutureofAI

Scams are on the rise, impacting many, including migrant workers. To help Chinese migrant workers navigate online transactions safely, Singtel Dash, in partnership with Tenpay Global, recently ran an informal workshop on safe remittance practices and digital security. About 50 workers attended the session, where they received advice on recognising and avoiding common scams when sending money back to their loved ones in China. The Singapore Police Force also joined the session to educate the workers on scams and how they can increase their resilience against scams by taking preventive measures.    Gilbert Chuah, Head of Financial and Lifestyle Services at Singtel, added, “Our migrant workers work tirelessly and make tremendous sacrifices to send money back home. By using unauthorised platforms to remit their funds, they risk losing their hard-earned money which can be devastating for both the workers and their families. Singtel takes the digital transaction security of our migrant workers very seriously and has been helping them transact with confidence via our many outreach efforts. Beyond providing a secure and efficient platform for remittance, Dash, we want to ensure they have the knowledge and tools to be financially safe.”   Singtel Dash, together with its community partners have been running regular roadshows and engagement programmes such as these for the migrant worker community to learn about scams and how to make secure remittance transactions using the Dash app.    The event also doubled up as a celebration for the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, where familiar dishes were served to evoke a sense of home and for the workers to busk in the spirit of togetherness.    If you know someone who may have been impacted or needs advice on scams, they can visit scamalert.sg or call the National Crime Prevention Council’s Anti-Scam Helpline at 1800-722-6688. #SingtelDash #SafeRemittance #CommunitySupport #FinancialEducation #MigrantWorkers

We’re excited to share that we’re collaborating with some of the world’s largest telecom operators and Ericsson to form a new venture to make network Application Programming Interfaces, or APIs, accessible to all telcos globally. The new unified platform will provide network APIs to more developer platforms such as hyperscalers, to support more enterprises, spur greater innovation in global services and open up a new host of applications.   Kuan Moon Yuen, Singtel’s Group Chief Executive Officer, said, “This unified platform and global eco-system will enable even more developers and businesses to leverage 5G quality networks to exploit API opportunities using GSMA’s open gateway principles. We look forward to helping even more enterprises and organisations in Asia to use network API solutions to drive growth and innovation through this timely collaboration.”     Singtel has been leading the use of APIs to create applications such as #SingVerify, which is a suite of solutions that authenticates digital identities. It is helping organisations across Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand to combat fraud.   América Móvil Deutsche Telekom AT&T airtel Orange Jio Telefonica Telstra T-Mobile Verizon Vodafone Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gxv6Qg6S   #Singtel #NetworkAPIs #OpenGateway #5GInnovation #EnterpriseSolutions
