94 millions subscriber for Axiata, alone in india how big is the potential ?? compare to TM which focus on malaysia market....

If you ask me which counter should I go for ? How do I choose ?

I would ask you back what kind of investor you're ? You want stable but slow and stable grow you go for TM. Under government umbrella, you'll enjoy stable grow.

But if you look for high potential go for axiata, reason ??

1.) After since split, Axiata came down from its highest RM8.x to 1.x now back to 3.x, upside potential you tell me.

2.) TM came down from 3.5 now stood at 3.1x, upside potential limited

3.) Axiata market focus on Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Cambodia, India and Singapore. Can you imaging how much of population of indonesia and india vs malaysia ?

4.) Axiata Net profit is double of TM, revenue increase but TM revenue still same.

Should I say more ?
