Contrarians technically has an unacceptable contradicting point of view which is contrary to the Top Notch Funds Managers wisdom.
If it was her private asset, she has every right to claim such loses are afforable for her.
Temasek assests are NOT her
grandfather asset to make such reckless statement. Remember, it was similar to the controversial statement of Madam Tan Choo Leng (2G spouse of ex-PM Mr. Goh Chok Tong who defended that NKF's CEO
T. T. Durai was considered "
peanuts" as compared to NKF scandal that . Her remark was subsequently met with negative reactions from many Singaporeans.
I am foreseeing similar scenario here as Ho Ching was not apologetic for the failure but giving a rude remark as if such loss is affordable for Singaporeans.
It is a FAILURE on her part
1, Because of a
woman headship .
2.
CECA leadership under her are prone to errors in the time and history.
3. CECA could not
assess the risks properly and Ho Ching should have put
proper checks and balances and make sure the risks are
mitigated properly.
4. It is her failure as Mr. Changrasegara pillai did not manage well.
More to come
