I found the below statement particularly galling. He claims credit that Temasek's dividends help fund the recently introduced pioneer generation package even it went into the general pool via the NIRC. I acknowledge that. By the same line of reasoning he should state that it was the CPF funds from ordinary members that provided the investment funds that help create the assets that Temasek received which is now being used to generate the returns.
These dividends supplement the taxes collected by the Government to fund various programmes, including lifelong medical support for the pioneer generation.
