I dun think telcos are classified as defensive stocks lor. Take M1 and Starhub, they have been paying so much dividend and actually eaten up their profit every year.
Telcos main income from is from subscription and handset sales. Now even Singtel is also changing their business model into cloud services and online gaming.
