We wish to inform the Exchange that Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM), through its wholly-owned subsidiary TM International Sdn Bhd, is currently in preliminary discussions for a stake in Spice Telecom Ltd.
This is consistent with TM’s continued interest in India, which we see as complementing our other South Asian investments in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan.
We refer to the above news article appearing in The Edge, page 10, 30 January
2006, a copy of which is enclosed for your reference.
In particular, we would like to draw your attention to the underlined sentence,
which is reproduced as follows:-
"...TM is in talks to acquire Spice Telekom..."
In accordance with the Securities Exchange's Corporate Disclosure Policy, you

public release confirming or denying the above article and in particular the
underlined sentence after due and diligent enquiry with all the directors,
major shareholders and all such persons reasonably familiar with the matter

the above sentence or any other part of the above reported article, you are
required to set forth facts sufficient to clarify any misleading aspects of the
