    [SINGAPORE] StarHub chief executive Nikhil Eapen on Thursday (Aug 14) declared that the telco will continue to be aggressive on acquisitions.

    “We have a big war chest,” said Eapen at a briefing accompanying StarHub’s financial results for the first half-year ended June.

    “We are also open to further small-scale consolidations in the domestic consumer space,” he added, noting that StarHub has strong cash flow and low leverage levels.
