i know of the phrase " Beauty in the eyes of the Beholder " but Siao Lee eyes must have been pasted with stamps.

Sometime i really wonder who is Ho Jinx image consultant, her hair is a mess, railways tracks across her face and her dressings are shocking. No wonder siaolee seldom bring her out for public appearances or overseas trip.

Nothing to talk when you lost tons of money. People will only brag when they make money.

Whichever company she moves into, the company will perform badly. She has a history of this.

I have heard this long ago, from taxi uncles who knew Singapore stories from the beginning. Anyone can give clearer pictures?

The big question is whether Ho has the management talent to get the job done.

Some contend that being CEO of Singapore Technologies is not like running a real company because it uses Defence Ministry research labs, saving on what would otherwise be huge research and development costs.

And Ho's performance at ST was called into question in parliament following the 1997 collapse of Micropolis, a subsidiary that made high-end disk drives. Its failure cost Temasek $340 million.

Dhanabalan insists Ho was right to shutter Micropolis and cut its losses.

For his part, Goh defends not only Ho but the entire Lee family on grounds that Singapore's talent pool is too small and the family's academic record too impressive not to employ them in key positions.

"It is an exceptional family," says Goh. "Do we discriminate against them just because they're related?"

And therein lies the crux of the debate. No one disputes the achievements of Singapore's First Family.

Under Lee senior, the city- state rose from an impoverished swamp to become a prosperous First World city.

And yet, more recently the government has struggled and largely failed to bring the forces of the free market to bear on the nation's state-controlled companies.

Ho Ching may be the right person to sort out Singapore Inc. But it remains to be seen if she can make the corporate bureaucrats under her hew to her will.

Some in the financial community warn that Temasek's strategy of buying big chunks of companies exposes it to potentially deep losses if markets turn.

"Temasek's strategy is similar to that of a big private equity investor and could well end up producing lower returns than the big index-tracking funds," said a former adviser to the firm. "You just can't become George Soros or Warren Buffett overnight."

Ho tends to avoid the media and has made few comments on Shin. When she addressed a Morgan Stanley conference in November 2006, with the Shin deal in the limelight, the bank told the media not to ask questions.

Even her age is considered off limits. A Temasek spokesman was unwilling to reveal her age or date of birth, although a Temasek bond document in 2005 said she was 52.

Ho began her career at the Ministry of Defense, where she met her husband, Lee Hsien Loong, the eldest son of former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew. While Lee took up a variety of cabinet positions, Ho moved to state-owned Singapore Technologies in 1987, running a mix of defense, technology, property and stock brokerages that she restructured, divesting some units and listing others.

Temasek's chairman, S. Dhanabalan, a former cabinet minister, asked her to head Temasek in 2002, telling local media at the time that Ho was "the best person for the job," that it had "nothing to do" with her being Lee's wife, and citing "a willingness on her part to take calculated risks."

Dhanabalan even referred to ST's purchase of disk drive maker Micropolis, which was liquidated soon afterwards with debts of 630 million Singapore dollars, saying Ho had had the courage to cut the losses.

Who is this man?

Bottom line is that she sucks at business and investment strategies. Even the laymen of SBF knows better than her where to and not put the money for investment.

I really wonder where Goh get the reference that the Lee family is too intelligent. They sucks big time.
