SE Asia Stocks -Mixed; Jakarta gains to over 14-mth closing high; sees foreign inflows

Aug 12 (Reuters) - Indonesia's stock market gained to a more

than 14-month closing high on Tuesday, helped by foreign

inflows, but others in the region closed mixed as investors

waited for geopolitical cues.

The Jakarta Composite Index ended 0.4 percent firmer

at 5,132.40, its highest close since May 29 last year, Thomson

Reuters data showed. Foreign investors bought $36.41 million

worth Indonesian shares on Tuesday.

The gain was led by Telkom Indonesia, which closed

1.1 percent up after a government proposal to eliminate the

Universal Service Obligation (USO) levy, which is currently at

1.25 percent of sales.

Shares in Indonesia's largest thermal coal miner PT Bumi

Resources TBk rose as much as 6.6 percent in early

trade after having fallen 10 percent in the last four sessions.

It closed up 2.2 percent after the market positively responded

to the company's plan to pay its bond coupon

rate.

The Singapore index surrendered early gains to

close 0.1 percent lower after the city-state's economic data

showed it had avoided shrinking in the second quarter of 2014,

though weakness in the services sector is set to weigh on growth

in the second half of the year.

Malaysia ended 0.1 percent firmer, while the

Philippines closed 0.4 percent up at a one-week high.

Vietnam's benchmark VN Index, recovering from early

losses of more than 0.5 percent, ended down 0.1 percent.

Thailand was closed for a second day due to a public

holiday.
