MANILA - The SM group is looking at Singapore as the starting point for its Southeast Asian expansion, SM Investments vice chairperson Teresita Sy-Coson said Monday.

SM, which operates the Philippines' largest bank and shopping mall chain, might open in Singapore "soon," Sy-Coson said without elaborating.

"As soon as the Singapore government will give us a license, they have already approved provisionally so we're looking into the final approval," Sy-Coson said.

Southeast Asia, with its 600 million people, can help SM grow its businesses, she said.
