  Was it only 2000 workers being retrenched as a result of the closure of MAXTOR ?
  
  What happened to the other 1500 retrenched workers ?
  
  Straits Times, Friday, 11 August 2006 edition, Page H4 had the first paragraph as :
  
  

  
  The Government and the unions are ready to help 3,500 or so of Maxtor Corp workers set to lose their jobs by the end of the year.
  

  
  
  With MAXTOR being taken over by Seagate Technology, a Morgan Stanley July 2006 report has shown Seagate to have continued positive performance into 2007, which will result in hope for the staff at Seagate, and the reported re-employment of at least 1000 workers retrenched from Maxtor.
