we now know that Temasek does not take instructions from the Government of Singapore. Instead, it is the Government of Singapore which takes instructions from Temasek Holdings and which bends over backwards to serve the interests of Singapore's corporate elite - which primarily consists of Temasek and its GLCs.
Now you know why Tony Tan must be the president and not Tan Cheng Bock or Tan Jee Say. This is because Tony Tan has been a blue-chip corporate elite for decades and will surely protect the interests of GIC and Temasek executives.
Indeed, the office of the presidency is critical to maintaining the power structure of the elite in Singapore. For the longer they can maintain their stranglehold over Singapore's reserves and the corporate sector, the longer they can maintain their profits, fat salaries and fat bonuses via anti-competitive measures.
