Singtel (SG1T75931496) faces a SGD 1.0 million regulatory penalty after mobile disruptions affected 720,000 subscribers, while its stock was at EUR 2.90 at Lang & Schwarz on October 26, 2026 at 9:20 a.m. CET. Mothership reported on October 20, 2026 that Singapore's Infocomm Media Development Authority imposed the penalty over outages on March 16, March 18 and March 19.

Penalty puts network reliability first

The regulator attributed the first outage to a chiller failure that overheated network equipment. Later disruptions followed redirected 5G traffic, a disabled packet optimizer and a software bug, according to Mothership. Singtel offered goodwill rebates of SGD 5 to SGD 10, with total payouts of about SGD 8.0 million, and later strengthened maintenance and failover procedures.
