Temasek to sell entire F&N stake to Japan's Kirin

Still F&N is like part of Singapore heritage...especially the lion logo...now they dropped the lion logo...

in order to survive, they have to find some new products / ideas...unforunately, they lose the Coca Cola thingy but its inevitable...they are not the brand owner in any case.

They don't have a bottling plant in Singapore do they? That limits kinda the type of products they can launch / produce? Not beer because they don't have a brewery.....

sigh...I miss their classic bottle design...with orange...collector item liao...

I can understand their strategy.

So you need lots of cash to play with the big boys.


Even if what you say, the only news, rumours,.. I've ever heard about Temasek is the: cronyism at the highest level(Ms Ho), sky high salaries, no accountability whatsoever AND losses on a massive scale. :eek:

If the FamiLee wants to use their own money thats their business but they are using tax payers money to play with the big boys. If they can't even play with the small boys what's the point in risking bigger losses with the big boys:confused:

You don't see other gov'ts "investing" taxpayers money do you :confused: Obviously LKY really thinks he owns Spore :rolleyes:

Kirin are trying to make bigger inroads in their beverages business. They are quite big in beer worldwide but tend to be stronger in beverages in Japan. Good move for them.

Temasek sold for quite a good price. Based on yahoo website, the share price was last at $6+ in mid 2007. If they have better opportunities, perhaps it's a good chance to get out at a good price. Question is whether they have better opportunities with better returns.

Hmm, maybe you're right. Fraser and Neave was started by two Englishmen in the 19th Century selling aerated water. So what happened along the way and how did it come seemingly-entirely into local people's hands?

Actually sell those make moni n buy those loss moni is not wrong provided u buy those loss moni at low price, turn it around frm loss to profit n sell em at high price...but 4 Toomahsick case like neber happen b4 leh...:biggrin::biggrin:

paper stated F&N was bought at $900M and now sold at $1.336 billion. What's wrong with the profit margin ? It is buying low and selling high , isn't it ? confused:
