As part of the corporate restructuring initiative that includes laying off 4,000 employees, Maersk Line will combine two regions in Asia and move its regional headquarters from Singapore to Hong Kong. The move will also see the carrier's Singapore manager go.

Subsequently, the office in Singapore will be shut down as Maersk Line's HQ for Southeast Asia/Pacific, a region that covers key destinations such as Indonesia and Australia.
The decision also means that a number of functions and jobs are being discontinued at the Singapore office, the most notable of which likely being that Maersk Line's Regional Manager, Lars Mikael Jensen, has been pulled back to the carrier's global HQ in Copenhagen.

The useless and very overpaid PAP bums must be happy now that there's lots of retrenchments in Singapore, no worries for the PAP bums as they are given golden ricebowls by the dumbfuck 69% Sinkies. The useless and very overpaid PAP bums get paid millions of public money to talk cock and wayang while many Sinkies suffer, song boh Sinkies, you voted for this PAP shit.

The STI sank 1.8% this morning and heading towards below 2500, the manufacturing is already deep in recession and the economy will soon be in recession. The useless and very overpaid PAP bums are leading Sinkies to Hor Lan, yet there's no pay cut and retrenchments for the PAP bums.

The PAP is full of very talented people and if shipping companies bypass Singapore they'll be ready with a whole line up of new economic engines to drive the economy.

Singapore will never sink because it has the best government in the world.

There aren't that many sinkies anyway and the ones that are good had tours of duty in other offices before and they will be relocated. A non-issue to me as they will be happy to relocate to another city where opportunities are greater for experienced people in the industry.

I put a wager with my friend ...that we will build more casinos to cushion the impact.
A very strong resident medium once said that he saw many bright lights in Pulau Tekong and said it will be a bustling island in the future. Ask around the old residents of the island about this medium..

We may rival Macau one day..

There is nothing wrong with Casinos. They bring in revenue and make the place fun.

Rationalisation of regional HQ bases happens all the time, with corporate re-organisation etc.

Corporate HQ is but a "heavy weight" cost centre, with bloated payroll (+ perks). Real money is in the business with
revenues passing through the operational sites.

Also read that Singapore corporate office will now be a bigger cluster for SEA countries
