12 May, 2011 – DST Group, Brunei Darussalam’s leading telecommunications and media services company, has announced its partnership with Singapore-based online games provider MatchMove Games (http://www.matchmove.com).
“We are very pleased to partner with MatchMove Games to provide the next level of online and mobile gaming experience to our subscribers, says Idris T. Vasi, CEO of DST Group. “With this partnership, DST and MatchMove Games will also integrate social networking with gaming to provide a fully immersive mobile internet environment for Bruneians.”

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Brunei ranks 4th in the world by gross domestic product per capita at purchasing power parity.
As such, a partnership with DST is an excellent starting point in Brunei for MatchMove, particularly because of Brunei’s structured retail environment, ubiquitous broadband internet, and online payment channels – factors central to online gaming success.
Providing a localized user experience is essential to market positioning at MatchMove Games, which now has operations in all high growth South and East Asian economies such as Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and China. Cultural sensitivity is also a priority for MatchMove, which focuses on providing a balanced and healthy gaming experience firmly in the context of local communities and their cultural preferences.
“This partnership with DST Group in Brunei is very exciting for all of us,” says Shailesh Naik, CEO of MatchMove Games. “We are excited about making a difference to people’s lives by providing healthy, affordable and socially acceptable online and mobile entertainment. And with this partnership in Brunei, we now have a natural springboard into the important Middle-East online gaming market, given the close social similarities between Brunei and many Middle-Eastern countries”
“MatchMove Games’ advanced social platform complements DST’s world class mobile communications service,” says Nelly Jimron, Vice-President of Business Development. “We look forward to offering DST users first rate content and an unparalleled online and mobile social experience as we are already achieved with our other telco partners”
