	Singapore Telecommunications - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		SingTel has expanded aggressively outside its home market and owns shares in many regional operators, including 100% of Australian telecommunications company Optus, acquired in 2000 from Cable and Wireless and other shareholders of Optus.
		SingTel is currently headed by Lee Hsien Yang, the youngest son of the former prime minister, now known as Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew and the brother of current prime minister of Singapore Lee Hsien Loong.
		Singtel owns a 20.33% stake in Hong Kong's APT Satellite, although it is not included as a subsidiary as the stake is non-controlling.

		SingTel shares have lost about a third of their value since its cash and scrip bid of up to $9 billion for Optus was announced in March on concerns that it has overpaid and there would be little synergies from the acquisition.

		SingTel has responded unconvincingly, saying just because the government owns 78% of the firm (rising to about 85% if you count the government-managed state pension plan), it is not "controlled" by the government.

	- SingTel steady as Optus prospers - Internet Business News
		SingTel's overseas investments now account for around 70 percent of revenue and 60 percent of pre-tax profit, and so a 2.7 percent revenue decline to S$1.001 billion in SingTel's home market had little effect on the figures.
		The importance of SingTel's overseas ventures, particularly Optus, is shown by the fact that Optus's mobile revenue for the quarter of S$982 million was almost as large as SingTel's total home country revenue of S$1.001 billion.
		SingTel consolidated its focus on the Asia-Pacific region with the disposal in March of its stake in Belgian operator Belgacom SA.
