i dont understand what is the point of buying 20% of a company that does real estate.if u want real estate just buy the goddam real estate urself why depend on a another company to make the decision on what to buy.this shows they are ignorant and not confident in what they are doing.
i thought GIC is suppose to be low risk and conservative investment,what the fuck are they doing in turkey real estate.....looks like ur CPF is going need top up soon.
This is Warren Buffet's Berkshire hathaway investments below. See any companies from Turkey on it? sounds to me like GIC is getting conned again.
