SingTel denies talks of Telkomsel stake sale

This after Indonesia’s Telkom said SingTel is willing to sell its stake in Telkomsel.

A Reuters report said, “Singapore Telecommunications said on Thursday it was not in talks to sell its 35 percent stake in Indonesia's biggest mobile phone operator Telekomunikasi Selular (Telkomsel) to state-owned Telekomunikasi Indonesia (Telkom).”

Telkom, Indonesia's largest telecommunication firm, owns a 65 percent stake in Telkomsel.

Singtel was quoted as clarifying, "SingTel has a good partnership with both Telkom and Telkomsel and we continue to be a long term strategic investor in Indonesia. There were no discussions with respect to any sale of our stake in Telkomsel, formal or informal."

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
