Abstract: The article discusses the crisis facing Singapore Telecommunications Ltd.'s Australian division, Optus, following a recent emergency call outage that resulted in multiple fatalities.

The Australian government, led by Communications Minister Anika Wells, has initiated an investigation into Optus' compliance with emergency call regulations, expressing disappointment over the recurrence of such failures. The current CEO, Stephen Rue, has announced plans for an independent review and has implemented measures to monitor emergency call performance more closely. [Extracted from the article]
