SINGAPORE -- Singapore Press Holdings on Tuesday announced that it will cut about 140 jobs as the media group's advertising revenue declines amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The number represents about 5% of its total headcount, and is the third batch of retrenchments that the Singapore Exchange-listed company will have undertaken since 2017.
