Basically, we’ve been listening to the Singapore retail customers and this will come out very clearly in our advertising and products in the coming months. We’ll be aggressively pursuing a recruitment agenda. We expect to be recruiting an additional 110 professionals before the end of the year,” reported the newspaper.
