Temasek lost (28 billion bath) more than 1 billion Sin Dollars
over the Shin Corp shares, and another 1 billion (£370
millions) in Standchart shares. There must be other billion
dollar losses in other shares which is not known.

If individuals lost money in the share market, they
lost their house, cars, .....and they become bankrupt.
They have to suffer the penalty.

The CEO of Temasek is paid million a year in salary
and bonus. She made mistake and as a result Temasek
suffered losses of at least 2 BILLIONs dollars.

Will she be paid her million dollar salary and bonus.
I am sure nothing will happen to her and her job.

Why ? Is there an explanation !

In share speculation, timing and judgement is of utmost
importance.

A good fund manger (who follow the markets, the US
and world economy closely), is expected to know
when to buy and when to sell.
Her judgement is highly questionable when she bought
Standchart's shares at HIGH prices, a few months
ago.

If she had kept the cash in the kitty, waited until now
(or even later) to buy the Stanchart shares, she would
have paid much less for the share, ....one billion dollar
less.
The loss is in the Temasek's fund holding, ....between
buying the share at high price and buying at low
price. Temasek has one billion dollars LESS in its
kitty now. This is the loss.

Not selling the shares now does not mean NO LOSS.

Her judgement is flawed and her in-experience in
share speculation is worse than 'house wife' speculators.
(I suspect, she listened too much to green horn juniors)
It clearly showed that she is a poor fund manager,
not suitable to be the CEO of Temasek.

Hi Komin,

Short term ???

In other word, a loss of over 2 billions is perfectly
alright, in the short term.
To bring your argument to its logical conclusion.....even
if she lost all the 108 billions in the kitty, it was still alright,
as long as it is over the short term. Flawed argument!

She made a serious mis-judgement when she decided
to invest billions in share of Standchart and Shin
Corp at HIGH prices. It does not matter, such gigantic
mistake, is committed on short term or the over long
term.

Yes, it is preferable to invest in shares in counters such
as Standchart.
The least she could do, as a fund manager, is to
look at the historical prices of counters.. ..at the
bottom of the cycle and at the top of the cycle,...
and look at the economy whether it is now at the
top of a boom or at the bottom cycle.
This is elementary in share speculation or fund
investments.
If she had done a due diligence, she would have
waited to go in....not rush in to buy at high prices.

You missed the point.
Before you purchase shares , one of the things you
must do is to analyse the prices.

In the case of Standchart shares, for example, you
check the history prices, ie the lowest price sold
at bottom of the previous cycle, and the highest
price at the height of the boom cycle.
It would be foolish to buy the share, for long term
investment, at a price nearing the top.
One should buy the share, at bottom prices, and if this
is not possible at least near bottom.

The only exception to this rule, is when you intend
to make a bid to take over the bank, then you make
an offer at the prevailing prices, even at prices near
the top.
Temasek has NO intention of taking over Standchart.

Hehe! If buying and selling share is so easy -
quote "the lowest price sold at bottom of the

If it was done, the CEO would have to justify
buying at the high price. She would know that
it is NOT justifiable. She would NOT have
purchased the Standchart' share at HIGH prices.

is not possible at least near bottom.
Hehe! If buying and selling share is so easy - quote "the lowest price
sold at bottom of the previous cycle, and the highest price at the height
of the boom cycle" unquote, all we need is a computer.
Who says it is easy....I have always maintained
the job of a good fund manager is much more than
a store keeper of animal feed(reserve fund).
Doing a price analysis is the basic essential first step
required in any consideration.... to buy or not to buy
decision.
Other assessments (performing a due deligence) then
follow.

The fund managers at Temasek is either negligent
or inexperienced to have purchased Standchart'
share at high prices.
Now Temasek is paying a high price for their mistake.

The only exception to this rule, is when you intend
to make a bid to take over the bank, then you make
an offer at the prevailing prices, even at prices near
the top.
Temasek has NO intention of taking over Standchart.
And you think Temasek is just like those "punters" in the Singapore and
Malaysian stock exchange?
I think that the CEO of Temasek is a lousy fund
manager.

Did Temasek make losses in all investment, some are strategic investment.
It is easy to talk about Historic Prices cycle but not alway the right
time or you will never see the bottom .
You missed the point.
Before you purchase shares , one of the things you
must do is to analyse the prices.
How do you know this was not done?
If it was done, the CEO would have to justify
buying at the high price. She would know that
it is NOT justifiable. She would NOT have
purchased the Standchart' share at HIGH prices.
Any fund manager worthed his salt will not have
made a booboo like her.

In the case of Standchart shares, for example, you
check the history prices, ie the lowest price sold
at bottom of the previous cycle, and the highest
price at the height of the boom cycle.
It would be foolish to buy the share, for long term
investment, at a price nearing the top.
One should buy the share, at bottom prices, and if this
is not possible at least near bottom.

Careful, you can be sued for saying such things.

When wearing the hat of the CEO Temasek, she is
NOT to be treated as the wife of the PM nor the
daughter-in-law of LKY.
She is NOT entitled to extra favours if and when
she made serious mistake. Temasek must explain
the reason why she is not fired.
I am sure, she was appointed on her personal merits....
not because of her special relationship with the PM.

huge sum over poor decision.

Eg. An airline can make money, billions, year after
year, but when the CEO make a gigantic loss, his
head will go. It is as simple as ABC.

The paper loss of about 38 per cent on its investment, or about 28 billion
baht is hugh.

This 38% below purchase value 5 is coincidentally is the same as the value
of the propety is now still below the purchase price in 1996.

So 38 is a bad luck number for singapore
Post by Bald eagle
Temasek lost (28 billion bath) more than 1 billion Sin Dollars
over the Shin Corp shares, and another 1 billion (£370
millions) in Standchart shares. There must be other billion
dollar losses in other shares which is not known.
If individuals lost money in the share market, they
lost their house, cars, .....and they become bankrupt.
They have to suffer the penalty.
The CEO of Temasek is paid million a year in salary
and bonus. She made mistake and as a result Temasek
suffered losses of at least 2 BILLIONs dollars.
Will she be paid her million dollar salary and bonus.
I am sure nothing will happen to her and her job.

DBS, for over 20 years, has served as a banker for

and also to serve as a "mini Swiss bank" where their
money is safe.
Asian Businessmen trust the financial strength

money with DBS. It serve them well and it benifited
Singapore.
But if it lose big bucks, this confidence in DBS and
Singapore may wear thin......

Temasek is a political animal .
Temasek is a commercial organisation, an Asia
investment company, started from Singapore.
It is NOT political.
see http://www.temasekholdings.com.sg/
Post by Komin
so don' t be fooled by this short term pricing ,
Out of a global portfolio of S$103 billion, it lost over
$2 billions in a week (over 2 %). This is serious ....(not short
term pricing losses) and if the market melt down even
further, it will suffer gigantic losses.
Temasek may not survive.....and all its stable of companies
including SIA, DBS, Singtel may be shaky.
Post by Komin
the Xingapore government is using Temasek as a political
leverage for dealing with ASEAN states .
Your perception is wrong. No political leverage can be gained
by the government using Temasek. It is another MNCs operating
commerically in countries in Asia, nothing more.
Post by Komin
this is a short term pricing to fool the Thai -s .
Thaksin is NOT fooled. He has collected his two
Billions US dollars, in hard CASH and stash it away
in a Swiss Bank account.
In one week, Temasek lost over 1 billions in Shin Corp
shares. Temasek is fooled.
Post by Komin
the Chinese race inside the ASEAN nations want to get their
money out from Indonesia , Thailand , Malaysia ,Philipines and put
into Xingapore for safe deposits .
DBS, for over 20 years, has served as a banker for
businessmen in Asia, for trade and business development,
and also to serve as a "mini Swiss bank" where their
money is safe.
Asian Businessmen trust the financial strength
and political stability of Singapore, to keep their
money with DBS. It serve them well and it benifited
Singapore.
But if it lose big bucks, this confidence in DBS and
Singapore may wear thin......
It has NOTHING to do with the Chinese race. You
look at everything with the Chinese coloured glasses.
It is not healthy.

To be rational, or to be racist....the choice is
yours.

It is much more difficult to be rational and logical
in our thinking and in things we utter.

Racist don't need intelligence, they see things with
jaundice eyes and with emotions.
People usually reject racist ideas and action.

If you are racist, you must be prepared to
be the butts of jokes, and ridicules.

Bear in mind, CEO in this particular context is more like the
"store-keeper" i.e the person who holds the key to the
barn.....not in the true context of a CEO as in an MNC.

As your "complaint" seems to suggest, you'd rather hire a top
notch foreign CEO to run Temasek... but the question remains of
whether you're willing to pay him the millions of $ salary plus
many other perks, options, contract and bonuses.....because they
don't come in cheap, yet devoid of any guarantees he would make
profits for you in the next 3 years.
I think this had been tried several times in Spore <e.g DBS, NOL>
with varying results, not all of them good.

Many CEOs in the West have been fired or replaced because they
did not perform as expected, but they left smiling with hefty
options and bonuses.....then seek other top paying jobs....there
is no guarantee a change of CEO would bring in immediate profits
to any MNC or even to Temasek.

Lastly bear in mind, the barn's contents of dried grass are akin
to what the cows - Sporeans - will depend on when Winter sets in,
frankly, can you see any good reasons for the farmer to entrust
the key to the barn for the winter months to a total stranger, in
preference to his own daughter?

I can't, can you?

Temasek is NOT equal a store of animal feed, where the

steal the feed. It is much more and much larger.

It is a commercial organisation with a portfolios of over S$ 108
BILLIONS, also overseeing GLCs like SIA, DBS, Singtel. A
professional CEO with extensive experience and track record
of looking after such a large organisation, with the necessary
talent and ability should be the CEO.

2 Billion US$ lost is on paper accounting only ,

Temasek still keeps the Shinawatra shares ,in the next few years ,
the Shin shares will increase its pricing again .

This is a short term rigged market pricing to calm down the Thai

In Temasek's context...Yes definitely, it is NOT selling any

running KFC, Coca-Cola, HP, Tiger beer, and keeping "dried grass"
for the Spore cows to eat and depend on when and if winter months

Everybody worth his salt knows that, bigger returns mean bigger
risks....steady/small returns have lesser risks.... every
investment carries with it certain risks and certain

Temasek is NOT an MNC in the normal context, no matter how you

My point exactly, ...it is not an easy job to run a
multi-billion-dollar organisation. The CEO must
have proven ability and honestly.

She did NOT have proven ability.

As for the bloke who took charity money to pay himself
'peanuts' and his lavish lifestlye, his outfit it very tiny, a couple
of hundred millions, when compare to over 100 BILLIONS
of Temasek.
Though he is NOT honest, he was better than her in ability.
Even Minister had praised him as the "Best Fund raiser".

The CEO of Temasek is NOT the "best Fund Manager"......
she is probably right at the bottom.

There are excellent fund managers in Singapore with proven
track records. CEOs of Banks, chief of CPF, Monetary Authority,
and government investment agencies........and of course, ex Ministers,
and retired CEOs of large GLCs.
For example, Dr. Cheong successfully managed SIA for over a
decades, (with income of over 5 billions yearly), and I understand a
local bank grabbed him when he retired from SIA.

SIA is sitting on a mountain of reserves, in tens of billions, in
shares and without fail, SIA made millions from its share
portfolio every year.
As the CEO of SIA and, by training, a mathematician/statistician,
Dr Cheong has proven to be an excellent fund manager, in addition
to being an excellent Airline manager.
It is for this reason, why a local bank grabbed him when
retired from SIA a couple of years ago.

There are fund managers and ther are fund managers. Successful
fund managers are like Soros, Bruce Stanley Kovner,
David Gerstenhaber, D. Shaw, Doug Kass...they are
legends in the fund management industry. (Not storekeeper
of a barn of animal feed)
There are only a few good fund managers in Singapore
now working with local banks, proven to very successful.
The term Fund Manager to those who manages billions
in portfolio.
Others are nothing but failed share speculators. To call them
fund managers is an insult to the term.

In my opinion Temasek can be contrue as MNC..Even though most local people
in Singapore may perceive MNC as manufacutring-based compnay, but in reality
MNC can also be perceived as other companies other than being manufacturing
alone. Since Temasek is a deversified conglomerate, it can be akin to
compnay like colonial capital which bought the Raffles hotte chains, or can
be akin to Goldman Sach. But when one compares with these US companies,
Temasek is not worthy to shout about. So in a way the CEO is responsible.if
the country is to develop as first world's job accountabilty standard.

She enjoys more perks and better bonus.
The CEO of MNC, and all other CEOs
of public organisation are held accountable for
their decisions and actions.
Why NOT the CEO of Temasek ?
Which MNC you want to compare its holdings with?
Not a comparison of its holdings.
but a comparison of its rewards and
punishment system for their respective
CEOs.
If a CEO booboo....she is accountable...
she should resign or be fired. (of course
not as drastic as to commit hara-kiri )
Unless of course, there are overwhelming
reasons to justify keeping her.
I don't know..... Do you?

When you have a frumpy Auntie running sophisticate investments, this is what
you get. Her team of scholars use book formula that do not work in the real
world!
Now, that this "aunty" proved to be no good,
why is she not punished or fired. Does she
stay until all the money in the kitty is lost.

This is the interesting twist.

This is what happens when you employ idiotic scholars who made investments
based on textbook formula alone.
You know nuts about the case.
Obviously , you know better. I salute you.
In a MNC, the CEO would be fired immediately.
Please tell us what you know, and why the CEO
of Temasek does not have to be punished for losing
over two cool BILLIONS dollars.
In fact, I hear no question been asked by the press
who reported the losses.

You should firat analyze who is controlling the press?

You don't need an in-depth analysis to know who
control the press.

This idiot claim to know why the CEO of Temasek
was not fired for losing big bucks.
I asked him to tell us........may be he was just boasting !
