April 3 (Reuters) - Singapore Telecommunications

(Singtel), Southeast Asia's largest telecom operator,

on Wednesday reiterated that there was no "impending deal" to

divest Australian telco Optus.

Singtel, majority-owned by sovereign investor Temasek, in

March denied an AFR report that it was offloading Optus to

Canada's Brookfield for up to $12 billion.
