not financially trained so hope someone can shed a light on what does net gain of portfolio means.

-does it mean real profit of $56b?
-how does the recent selling of all our powerstations, spc etc affected this?
-and how much profit from glc vs overseas? ie if tomorrow all glc increase price x2 does it mean profit becomes $100b?:biggrin:

but most troubling is
tharman again wash hand saying everything is up to temasek board to decide. but he say it's assets is the coutries.

so is tharman saying the temasek board (which the people did not vote for) can play with people's money but no need answer to anyone including tharman (which at least some people voted for)?

That's right. First the GLCs are making ton of $$$ in a no competition own local turf. But when venture abroad, all fumbled big time. Shin Corp, ABC Learning, Merill Lych, and now CCB.

One of the factor Temasek is able to make $$$ so steady in early days was because govt policies sure sided her. But when move abroad, she got no "big daddy" to take care of her. Still remember David En, NOL CEO? He as a CEO was staying home reading book while his competitors are dining, drinking or entertaining the China chiefs. Why got chance to tie deals then. :rolleyes:

That is the amount of our CPF locked and cannot be withdrawn. To them is a gain, but a loss to us. Typical Kelin accounts.

2003 is so long ago .

56 billion in profit now is worth less .

Means if they lose 100 billion in this 2 years it's a OK !

FUCK that Tharman Botak Kelingkia. What he know???
Why only report from 2003~2008 during this time is the best performance year all country in the world make money. Why never report from 1998~2008 that 10 years on average. Still want to hide the truth by twisting KelingKia tongue.
What about 2009 in 1st 4 month sure another $50B gone. Total would be $100B loss. Singapore have about 2.5 million citizen minus out PR/FT/student................ Mean each living citizen loss at least $40K/person.
Ask him give his comment in public without security guard sure kena booo maybe with some rotten egg in the air.

Gain in portfolio does not mean net profit.
Tharm is bullshitting everyone. gain in portfolio is a meaningless stat. More appropriate would be net profit, balance sheet, income statements over at least a 3 year period.
The PAP pumps money into Temasek every year thru its GLCs, MOF, etc. using this money, and also using borrowed money thru bond issues, Temasek buys companies. This companies are added to their portfolios, and obviously over 6 years, the portfolio should increase. Just because the portfolio increased by $56 billion does not mean anything. For all we know, they pumped $100 billion into Temasek the last 6 years, and if it grew by $56 billion, that means, they lost $44 billion. So, this stat is useless.
