SingTel paid A$234 million for a 4 percent holding in Far EasTone Telecommunications as part of an agreement struck last August. Under the deal, SingTel was forced to sell its 24.5 percent shareholding in another company, New Century InfoComm Tech.
SingTel does not have a large presence in Taiwan, but it has had an office in Taipei since mid-1998.
