Gaming hardware and fintech firm Razer will hire for about 1,000 positions for its new South-east Asia headquarters at Singapore's one-north technology business park. The firm's chief executive Tan Min-Liang wrote about the decision in a LinkedIn post yesterday morning. It is, however, unclear what type of positions those will be, and whether they will be contract, temporary or full-time positions. Mr Tan also did not mention the firm's timeline for hiring. Razer declined to comment. The Hong Kong-listed company first announced plans for its regional headquarters in December 2018. The $100 million building was expected to have 19,300 sq m of office space, research and development labs, and design studios across seven storeys. Boustead Projects' joint venture company is the developer for the project. Echo Base, a start-up backed by Mr Tan that aims to incorporate next-generation technologies in real estate developments, was announced to be involved in the project as well. Razer currently has an office in Chai Chee industrial estate. The new one-north headquarters was originally expected to be ready for moving in by the middle of last year, but the official opening has been shifted t...

SAN FRANCISCO • Silicon Valley is seeing departures of some of its high-profile stars as a pandemic-linked shift to remote work and political polarisation have dulled the allure of the key tech industry hub. Nightmarish traffic and high living costs were already causing disenchantment even before the pandemic spoilt the serendipity of the northern California destination for top talent. Droughts and rampant wildfires have also taken a toll. Those leading the exodus include Tesla chief Elon Musk and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, along with Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel and the data analytics firm's chief executive Alex Karp. Some companies are also packing up and moving their headquarters, including Silicon Valley stalwarts Oracle and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), both headed for Texas. Founded in 1977 in Silicon Valley, Oracle said this month it was moving to position the company "for growth and provide our personnel with more flexibility about where and how they work". HPE, a spin-off of the historic Silicon Valley firm Hewlett-Packard, said it was moving to Houston "to meet customers where they are in their digital transformations in these extraordinary times". "There was...

SINGAPORE - An annual reshuffle of principals will see 43 schools next year with new leaders, including nine from the Ministry of Education (MOE) headquarters. It is the highest number of officers to be moved from the headquarters to head schools in recent years, according to checks by The Straits Times. The number of such transfers ranged from three to seven in the past five years. Mr Melvin Cher Teck Yiang, deputy director of MOE's pre-school education branch in the schools division, will become principal of Northoaks Primary School. The 42-year-old said that being familiar with policy work will come in handy in his new and first appointment as principal. "I have a better sense of how policies are made and I think this will help in communicating changes to school staff," he added. He will also continue to be involved in pre-school matters to some extent, as Northoaks Primary houses an MOE kindergarten. "I will work with the pre-school teachers and support them in running the centre," he said, adding that he hopes to get a chance to try out ideas that could help ease the transition of pre-school children into primary school. "We have a lot to learn from how pre-school environments...
