In recent years, Singtel gives 6.8 cents dividend (semi-annual) in Jan (ex-date)
I will feel that Singtel will be very complacent to maintain this payout in Jan 2021. Such payout will cost Singtel about $110m and sink their share price to almost $2 or below if the share price trades closer to the book value (currently about 30% premium) after Jan 2021.

Now the $333m from this asset sale will be pumped to the digital banking license if they are awarded. This hints the article might be wrong. Singtel might be unlikely to maintain 6.8 cents semi-annual dividend in Jan.
