SINGAPORE : Foreign workers became gladiators for a day, in a contest organised by Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel) to reward this group of customers.

There was much fanfare as the Singtel Dormitory's Gladiators Challenge grand final kicked off on Sunday.

The final showdown saw nine men who were winners at their respective dormitories.

Instead of swords, the modern day gladiators used foam-padded poles as weapons in the contest.

The aim is to knock their opponent off the pedestal.

Coming out tops was India's Manoj Kumar Singh, who walked away with a medal and a S$200 top-up value for his pre-paid mobile card. - CNA /ls
