During 1974, Singapore Telephone Board and the Telecommunications Authority of Singapore (TAS) merged and formed Singapore Telecom, but retained the name TAS. Eighteen years later, Singapore Telecom was corporatised as a fully-owned government company and was named as SingTel, or Singapore Telecommunications Pte Ltd.
