BANGKOK, Jan 21 – Finance Minister Korn Chatikavanij on Thursday denied a report that top Singapore Telecom (SingTel) executives lobbied him to help resolve Advanced Info Service (AIS) concession issues.

The executives from SingTel, which owns 21 per cent of AIS, met with Information and Communications Technology Minister Chuti Krairiksh on Jan 11 and with the finance minister last Friday.

Their meetings were seen as attempts to address the problem SingTel has with TOT Plc on an amendment to the mobile phone concession.
