Add BT as a preferred sourceTHE Singapore 1000 (S1000) and Singapore SME 1000 (SME1000), incorporating Singapore International 100 (SI100) Rankings, entered its 30th year of existence, documenting and celebrating the success of all corporations.

The resulting impact was worsening the oil supply glut and depressed crude oil prices.
