Singtel bags $1.7mln award cable dispute in court

Court upheld Singtel's breach of contract counter-suit to Sin Lian Heng.

Singapore Telecommunications Ltd., Southeast Asia’s largest phone company, won a S$1.7 million award in a cable dispute with a contractor.

Sin Lian Heng Construction Pte sued SingTel in 2006 over unpaid bills for work on the phone company’s cable ducting network. SingTel countersued, claiming Sin Lian Heng breached the contract and wrongfully kept the cables.
Justice Lee Seiu Kin dismissed Sin Lian Heng’s claim and ruled in favor of SingTel, in an Aug. 2 decision, released on Friday.

SingTel’s award takes into account a S$2 million settlement with Sin Lian Heng for the unpaid bills, Lee said. Both companies have appealed the ruling, Lee said.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
