MediaCorp is still under SPH...

With 40% holding, Mediacorp is not a subsidiary, but an associate of SPH.

The same as Bharti Airtel's competing with SingTel on Myanmar telecom license, while Airtel is 25% holding associate of SingTel. Big Grin

Mediacorp has a very huge organisation. The stake held by SPH is not the parent Mediacorp but rather, some others lower down in the hierarchy. Extracts fm SPH AR2012,

SPH has a 20 per cent stake in MediaCorp TV Holdings Pte Ltd,
which operates free-to-air channels 5, 8, and Channel U, and a
40 per cent stake in MediaCorp Press Ltd, which publishes the
free newspaper, Today.

Reebonz set to grow as luxury demand expands

SINGAPORE — Four years after its inception, online luxury shopping destination Reebonz has seen spectacular growth across the Asia-Pacific as it surfs the wave of demand for upmarket goods among the region’s expanding and increasingly affluent middle class.

The Singapore-based company has evolved from a flash sales site to a full-fledged marketplace where products are bought, sold and serviced.
