Popular <POPU.SI> says no decision on Internet SINGAPORE, April 26 (Reuters) - Singapore book retailer Popular Holdings Ltd said on Monday it has not decided when an Internet service would be launched amid market speculation. "The directors ... wish to clarify that although the company has plans for an Internet service, this is still at an initial stage," the company said in a statement. It said it has not decided when an Internet service would be launched. "However, it is unlikely to be launched in the near future," the statement said. Shares in Popular Holdings hit a year high last week of S$0.61 on speculation that it planned to start a Singapore version of Amazon.com <AMZN.O>, a Seattle-listed Internet book and music retailer. The company's shares ended at $0.515 on Monday.
