More job opportunities from proposed Axiata-Telenor merger

Consumers to win: The savings in capital expenditure and the reduction in duplication following the proposed Axiata-Telenor merger will result in more benefits, with more cost savings being passed down to consumers.

KUALA LUMPUR: The proposed merger between Axiata Group Bhd and Telenor ASA will see the creation of more jobs and opportunities.

While duplication in terms of infrastructure and capital expenditure will be eliminated, there will be more jobs when it comes to marketing and servicing a larger clientele base of almost 22 million, just in Malaysia alone, according to an Axiata spokesman.
