That causes 'got money but no where to spend' dilemma to Singapore.<BR/><BR/>Being in the centre of countries with different mentality, what Singapore government should do is to encourage her people (not of corporation related to the authority) to invest in these countries. Just look at OCBC and UOB, they did not face major problem with the authority of these countries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32431579.post-7572288385153044042007-11-20T20:28:00.000+08:002007-11-20T20:28:00.000+08:00Is it mere coincidence that wherever Temasek went,...Is it mere coincidence that wherever Temasek went, its woes is sure to go?<BR/><BR/>Why do countries that should ostensibly be benefiting from investments by Temasek be knocking it? Is it a viable strategy to think that you can play it straight when the operating environment is as crooked as they come? In a largely male dominated arena, having a woman in charge is a big liability. If you think westerners are more equitable, think again.

Who asks Temasek to be so greedy in the first place! <BR/><BR/>And why is it that nobody at Temasek did any homework. Of all the places, why did Temasek chose to do business in a country where "greasing the palms" is the order of the day.<BR/><BR/>Another expensive lesson to learn.
