Simple example as follows:
Book value of investment = S$900 million
Diminution in value of investment =S$700 million (Charged to P & L Account)
Net value of investment =S$200 million
The issue here : Is GIC/Temasek Holdings another Olympus ?

Do we have the chance to touch our CPF money (minimum sum scheme) ?It is too late to KPKB when they tell u "Oh our investments are directly related to the US economy which is in deep recession.It has happened.We have done our due diligence.It's an honest mistake.Let's move on."
"Paper Loss" is the nicer term. My friend told me if "impairment" more jaklat than "fair value gain/loss" :( But he never explain fully to me:(
