Temasek Review 2012
Extending Pathways
Temasek was born barely a decade after Singapore’s independence. There were no models to emulate, no pathways to follow. We knew only that we must stay relevant to survive, and build for the next generation. We learnt and reinvented ourselves over the years, always seeking to understand, quietly working to deliver results, even as we stepped into the unknown. Sometimes, we wandered into cul-de-sacs. At other times, we paid the price for being pioneers. Each step an adventure and a learning; each footfall a commitment and an aspiration. We stepped forward, shoulder to shoulder with Singapore in our early years. Ten years ago, we ventured forth into an emerging Asia. Today, we continue to extend our pathways. Our people and their families featured in this Temasek Review symbolise the past, present and future of the pathways we create as Temasek. They reflect the many who contributed to Temasek in our 38 year journey as an investor, a forward looking institution and a trusted steward.
