SingTel dividend helps pays the bills

SingTel is paying a dividend of S$0.258 a share.

For those S’poreans like me who have kept the SingTel shares we were allocated all those many yrs ago, the money is coming in handy. I still have the 1667 shares I was allocated and this means I will get S$430.09. Peanuts compared to the 8 months bonuses’ coming the way of ministers, but for a retiree (with no pension, only CPF) any little bit helps.

Sigh: once a upon a time S$500 was “peanuts”; not any longer.
