Ho Ching on Forbes' list

[Char_Azn]

NEW YORK - TEMASEK holdings chief executive Ho Ching is 5th on Forbes magazine's new list of powerful women, beating First Lady Michelle Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, both of whom didn't break the top 30.

Up from 8th last year, Ms Ho, the wife of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, once again ranks as Asia's most powerful woman. She also the only Asian in the top 10 list this year.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel headed the list, published on Wednesday, for the fourth year running, with the magazine highlighting her role as leader of the huge German economy and her likely re-election in September.

Reflecting the world's focus on recession and the struggle to keep the financial markets afloat, Mrs Merkel was followed almost exclusively by businesswomen.

In second place came Sheila Bair, chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, which insures US banks.

Third was Indra Nooyi, chief executive at PepsiCo, then Cynthia Carroll, the chief executive of mining giant Anglo American.

Hillary Clinton slipped from 28 last year, when she was close to winning the Democratic presidential nomination to 36, despite heading the powerful US State Department.

Michelle Obama came into the list for the first time. Although she has the ear of the US president around the clock, she ranked only 40.

Below her, at 42, came Britain's Queen Elizabeth II. -- AFP

I wonder if the show she put up with Chip had anything to do with it :oIo::oIo::oIo:

Siongapore this time die one more time.

The last time the Ho Jinx investment addict made it to the top five of the Forbes list, it was followed by rounds of buy high sell low transactions of the shares of sick American corporations.

Who among the big American companies who are now in trouble and need a packet of blood from each Singaporeon through the CPF bloodbank, the Temasick investment wiz kid HJ will provide.

Actually I would put her No. 1. A person must be the most powerfullest in the world if he had not been sacked over multi billion dollars losses!

Phui! Fucking world's greatest, no-shame and thick skinned whore! :oIo:

Forbes has got ulterior motive. Tickles her arse-hole and hopes to suck a couple more $bln.

FORBES, like many other American magazines had lost its credibility long ago lah. The list 'plays' to a HIDDEN HAND lah

From the most powerful to the richest, many have questioned how they based their choices on?

You mean to say no CHINA is more powerful?

Sitting at the top of the Chinese hierarchy are usually men. The last women who was in a very powerful position was Wu Yi who was ranked higher then Ho Ching while she was in power but she retired last year

Well now, doesn't it put things into perspective? This here must be the only corner of the whole cyberspace where people gather to vent their anger on HJ. Not large enough audience and the words don't really spread?
