Feb 12 (Reuters) - Singapore Telecommunications STEL.SI reported a 9.5% rise in its third-quarter underlying net profit on Thursday, driven by strong contributions from regional associates, India's Bharti Airtel BRTI.NS and Thailand's Advanced Info Service ADVANC.BK.
SingTel reported an underlying net profit of S$744 million ($589.77 million) for the three months ended December 31, compared with S$680 million a year earlier.
