Meta’s Asia-Pacific headquarters is located in Singapore’s Marina Bay financial district.
Although the latest figures for Meta’s Singapore workforce are not available, ST reported in 2018 that the firm had over 1,000 employees here.
When contacted, a spokesman for the firm would only direct ST to a blog post by co-founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday.
The firm, which is based in California, also owns social media platforms Instagram and WhatsApp. Its share price has tumbled about 70 per cent in 2022 amid disappointing earnings as the firm makes a major virtual reality foray into the metaverse.
The job cuts follow a series of mass layoffs at other global tech firms, such as Twitter and Microsoft. - The Straits Times/ANN
