SingTelSingTel (formerly Singapore Telecoms) is Singapore's largest telecommunications company. A former government monopoly privatized in 1992, SingTel divested its postal operation SingPost in 2003 and now concentrates on providing ISP, mobile phone and fixed line telephony services. 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. SingTel is majority owned by state investment vehicle Temasek Holdings. SingTel is currently headed by Lee Hsien Yang, the youngest son of former prime minister Lee Kuan Yew. External link
