SE Asia Stocks-Mixed; Thai stocks fall amid farmer protests

BANGKOK, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Singapore stocks pared losses to

rise on Monday as active buying in midcaps such as Genting

Singapore outweighed concerns about a proposed reform

of market rules, while Thai shares retreated as protests by rice

farmers added to the political uncertainty.

Singapore's main index ended up 0.1 percent at

3,017.20, bouncing off the day's low of 3,003.48. Genting

Singapore rose 1.8 percent and was the top percentage gainer,

buoyed by a brokerage upgrade and its plan to develop a $2.2

billion casino resort in South Korea.

Shares of bourse operator Singapore Exchange fell

1 percent, the biggest percentage loser on the benchmark, as the

proposed market reforms, released late on Friday, worried

investors of a possible fall in trading volumes.

The Thai SET index closed 0.5 percent lower from a

two-week closing high of 1,296.49 in the previous session, amid

political problems and technical-led selling around 1,300 level,

brokers said.

More than 1,000 farmers protested outside the Thai

government's temporary headquarters on Monday over the state's

failure to pay for rice bought under a subsidy scheme that the

caretaker administration admits it is struggling to

fund.

Indonesian shares ended 0.4 percent lower, dragged

down by late selling as investors trimmed risk positions ahead

of Bank Indonesia's interest rate review later in the week.

Jakarta rallied last week, helped by a set of favourable

economic data.

Malaysia rose 0.4 percent as local institutions led

buyers, while the Philippines was up 0.5 percent, with

foreign investors buying a net 43.6 million peso ($969,000),

stock exchange data showed.

Vietnam's benchmark VN Index climbed 1.12 percent as

investors picked up blue chips that fell over the past few

sessions.
