Excerpts of interview:
“All these while we have been thinking why the accounts have not been disclosed to us…..I always thought they (GIC) should (open their account books), we should be informed…..I don’t think the government is very transparent on this issue, it will take a while, I am quite patient to wait.”
“Probably I think most companies in Singapore are audited and mostly very thorough in their accounts, probably they are doing so for Temasek…..”
“Depending on the loss, if the loss is very risky and they lost the investment then they should be responsible for it.”
