Creating Value
As a long-term investor anchored in Asia, we have the opportunity to play our part
as an enlightened partnership, and as a responsible corporate citizen in the wider
community, to create value and help shape a better world for our present and future
generations in Asia.
We too are changing and re-inventing ourselves as Asia transforms. However, the
principle of creating and managing for value remains a constant for us, as do our core
values of integrity, meritocracy and excellence. These are the compass points for us
to remain focused and relevant to our stakeholders, including our portfolio companies,
employees, shareholder, bondholders, partners, friends as well as society at large.
In so doing, we remain true to the vision, commitment and dedication of our founding
generation, as well as the many others who have contributed to our success over the
years to do things today with tomorrow clearly in mind.

Starting with an initial portfolio of S$354 million in 1974, Temasek’s net portfolio value has grown to S$164
billion as at 31 March 2007.
Our Portfolio Value since Inception
The book value of our portfolio has increased steadily over the years to S$114 billion, driven by the solid
profit contributions of our portfolio companies and our investment activities.
The market value of our portfolio over the years reflects both the performance of the underlying investments
and the effects of external events. For example, the listing of SingTel in 1993 contributed to the biggest
single-year increase in portfolio value, while the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic
of 2003 caused a sharp correction in market values across Asia.

Our Total Shareholder Return
Total shareholder return (TSR) by market value is the compounded annual return over a specified period.
It takes into account changes in the market value of our portfolio, dividends paid, as well as any net capital
changes. For unlisted investments, we track the movements in shareholder funds in lieu of market prices.
Since our inception, we have delivered a compounded annual TSR of more than 18%. Our one-, two- and
three-year TSR by market value were 27%, 26% and 22% respectively.
TSR by shareholder funds measures the changes in the book value of our portfolio, instead of market
value. This reflects the underlying profitability of the portfolio businesses, uncoloured by the volatility
caused by capital flows or other extraneous events.
Our TSR by shareholder funds is more than 17% since our inception. Our 10-year TSR since the Asian
financial crisis in 1997 was a steady 11% compounded annually. This is an affirmation of the underlying
strength of our portfolio companies. The reshaping of our portfolio as well as the transformation driven
by some of our portfolio companies have led to higher TSRs of more than 20% in more recent periods.

= Wealth Added
Alignment with Shareholder Value
As a performance indicator, Wealth Added factors in the capital employed to achieve returns and the risks
associated with each investment. To achieve positive wealth added, we need to deliver more than the
risk-adjusted hurdle called the capital charge.
The capital employed is the opening market value of our portfolio at the start of the year, adjusted for any
net capital movements. In the case of Temasek, the changes in the recurring operating costs for managing
our portfolio into perpetuity are also taken into account.

CALCULATING WEALTH ADDED
Also known as Economic Profit, Wealth Added is the total return to a shareholder less the capital charge.
A shareholder’s total return is the change in the market value of his investments (or the change in book
value in the case of unlisted assets), plus dividends he receives, adjusted for any net new capital he has
invested.
The capital charge is the risk-adjusted return hurdle that the shareholder expects.
Illustrative Example:
Consider a listed investment with an opening market value of $1,000, which has risen to $1,200 at the
end of the year. During the year, the shareholder received dividends of $40, and invested $130 of new
equity at the end of the year. His risk-adjusted cost of capital is 10%.
Thus,
Total return = ($1200 - $1000) + $40 - $130 = $110
Capital charge = 10% cost of capital x $1000 = $100
Wealth added = total return - capital charge = $10
In the following year, the capital charge is calculated on the latest opening market value of $1,200.
Assuming no net capital movements or dividends, the portfolio value must increase by a hurdle of at least
another $120 (i.e. 10% x $1,200) to achieve positive wealth added, compared to a capital charge hurdle
of $100 in the year before.

Dr Goh Keng Swee, a former Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore and the man behind the founding of
Temasek Holdings, once described the Singapore approach as follows:
For us in Temasek, it was yet another year of our persistent search for practical solutions, a patient building
of our institution and our infrastructure, and an accumulation of talented and committed staff, with a focus
on delivering sustainable value.
All in, it was a satisfying though eventful year.
Our net portfolio value grew from S$129 billion to S$164 billion, or US$108 billion, on a marked-to-market
basis as at end March 2007. Shareholder equity rose to S$114 billion, an increase of 26%.
We invested almost S$16 billion and monetised over S$5 billion from our portfolio. Compared to
S$21 billion of new investments and S$13 billion of divestments the previous year, transactions were much
fewer in FY2006 ending 31 March 2007. This was partly the result of our view of market opportunities
and our preference to maintain the flexibility of remaining in cash.
Looking ahead, we remain cautious in the light of medium-term geo-economic risks and signs of bubbly
market conditions.
DELIVERING SHAREHOLDER RETURN
For the year, we delivered a healthy total shareholder return of more than 27% by market value, including
dividends, or a solid 25% by shareholder funds.
Group wealth added increased by S$7 billion to S$23 billion, with almost S$7 billion from our direct
investment activities at the Temasek level. Also known as economic profit, wealth added measures our
excess shareholder return by market value above a risk-adjusted aggregate cost of capital.2
From the Chairman

Goh Keng Swee, The Economics of Modernisation, Marshall Cavendish Academic, 1972, pp234.
2
The capital base used for cost of capital calculations is the opening market value of our investments at the start of the year, with
adjustment for any net new capital and changes in perpetuity value of our recurring operating costs.
“There was a persistent search for practical solutions,
a patient building of institutions and infrastructure,
a generous allocation of funds,
an accumulated collection of talented staff.
In the end, it paid off.”1
Temasek Review 2007 - Creating Value
Group net profit was S$9 billion, compared to S$13 billion a year earlier. Profit contributions from our
group companies remained robust. This drop is partly due to lower realised gains at the Temasek level
from a much reduced level of divestments at S$5 billion, or down nearly two thirds compared to
S$13 billion of divestments a year earlier, and partly due to the impairment of our investment in Shin Corp.
Total shareholder return since our inception in 1974 remains strong at more than 18% by market value,
and over 17% by shareholder funds, including an average annual dividend yield of more than 7% to our
shareholder.
PARTNERING ASIA IN DEVELOPMENT
Asia continues to form the bulk of our portfolio exposure.
Our underlying exposure to Singapore increased by 8% to S$62 billion. This accounted for 38% of our
portfolio exposure, compared to 44% a year ago.
We recorded our most substantial investment in food and beverage to-date, with a 15% stake in Fraser
and Neave – one of Singapore’s most recognised food and beverage enterprises with a significant reach
into the region.
We pioneered an innovative, tax-efficient asset class in Singapore, by setting up and listing the CitySpring
Infrastructure Trust. This yield-oriented model also enables retail investors to participate and invest in
infrastructure opportunities. It is a potential incubator for other infrastructure sponsors and owners in Asia,
with interesting implications for the development of much needed infrastructure in Asia.
We also took advantage of the increasing depth of the debt market to introduce different risk-related
securities, by securitising part of our private equity funds portfolio at attractive terms. This exercise generated
significant liquidity from an otherwise illiquid asset class, through Astrea, a special purpose vehicle, which
holds a portfolio of investments in private equity funds.
In May 2007, we raised our stake in STATS ChipPAC from 35% to 83% following a voluntary cash tender
offer for the company in March 2007. This provides us with greater exposure to the future potential of
the semiconductor sector.
Rest of Asia (excluding Singapore and Japan) was home to 40% of our portfolio as at end March 2007,
compared to 34% in March last year and just 19% the year before in March 2005. This included the Asia
exposure of Standard Chartered in which we made an investment in mid-2006.
As we track the increasing urbanisation of a fast-growing middle class, real estate in China was a significant
focus during the year. We also increased our exposure to emerging champions in India. Our portfolio
18
companies in the Temasek stable grew strongly in China too, even as they continue to explore opportunities
in the wider region.
Overall, our exposure to Asia was 78%, including Singapore and Japan. Our maiden investment into the
insurance sector through a portfolio stake in Japan’s Mitsui Life is also our largest investment in Japan.
Looking ahead, Asia’s overall growth is expected to remain strong, with China and India leading the way
for our investment focus. We continue to explore opportunities in Singapore, ASEAN and the rest of Asia
as well as the OECD economies.
LOOKING BEYOND ASIA
Our exposure outside Asia remains at about 22% of our overall portfolio exposure.
New investments in OECD economies include two companies in drug development, Intercell AG of Austria
and Vical Inc of USA, both of which have platform technologies for the development of vaccines. We also
invested in MEG Energy, one of the largest Canadian oil sands developers.
We completed our first investment in childcare services recently with a 12% stake in ABC Learning Centres.
The company operates childcare centres in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and USA.
We continue to explore economies in transformation as potential new markets. This includes a recent
investment in Russia at the initial public offering of the PIK Group and a small portfolio exposure in
Latin America.
CREATING VALUE
Apart from our direct investment activities, we also embarked on other institutional initiatives to create
value.
We have adopted a methodology to review and manage our portfolio. The results from a year-long pilot
programme are promising. They not only gave us a deeper view of where and how we may create value
with some of our existing portfolio companies, but also flushed out new investment opportunities as we
gained insights into the sectoral and global value chains.
We will be building up teams and expanding our capabilities in this effort over the next two to three years,
to complement our direct investment and corporate development activities.
On the corporate development front, we continue to streamline our internal processes and systems. These
include refinements and updating of various standard operating procedures, compliance processes and
business continuity plans.
19
SHARING VALUES AND VALUE
As a long-term investor in Asia, we are committed to her development and growth.
It is through sharing that we learn from and benefit each other, both in terms of the values which shape
us and the value that we share.
We continue to organise knowledge events such as the annual Temasek Forum and the Asia Banking
CEO Roundtable for top management to share their experiences in managing businesses. Other platforms
for sharing include our Business Leadership Centre and the Wealth Management Institute.
We formalised the sharing of the shareholder value we have created by setting up the Temasek Trust with
an initial S$500 million endowment. Funds for this and other initiatives had been accumulated over the
past four years out of the positive wealth added we had delivered. Future contributions will be based on
a sharing of positive wealth added we create in future years.
One of the beneficiaries of the Trust is the newly-established Temasek Foundation. Launched together
with the Temasek Trust in May this year, the Foundation will focus on programmes for social investments
into the next generation in Asia through education and healthcare, as well as foster understanding and
exchanges across Asia and promote better governance and ethics.
By sharing values and value, we will continue to build a Temasek of character and distinction.
BOARD MOVEMENTS
We welcomed Mr Teo Ming Kian to our Board on 1 October 2006. He brings with him a wealth of expertise,
gleaned from his years of public service and investment promotion experience.
We reluctantly bade farewell to Mr Lim Siong Guan who stepped down from the Board on 13 July 2007
after having served more than a decade. Siong Guan joined the Temasek Board in May 1995 and served
as Deputy Chairman from 1999 till October 2006. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Siong
Guan for his frank and independent views and wise counsel over the years.
20
RECOGNISING CONTRIBUTIONS
I am deeply grateful to my fellow Board members, past and present, for sharing this journey with me to
transform and grow Temasek since 1996. Their thoughtful insights, principled values and clarity have
been an inspiration to the Temasek team and me.
I would like to thank the management and staff of Temasek too. Individually and as a team, their boundless
passion, tireless energy and steadfast commitment to make a difference have been a remarkable engine
of value creation for the company. I want to also thank their spouses and families for their support and
understanding, without which our staff would not have been able to give so much of themselves.
The long-run success of Temasek has been due, in no small measure, to the boards, management and
staff of our portfolio companies. They have been outstanding in their vision, integrity and unwavering
commitment – qualities that have given our portfolio companies the edge to achieve sustainable results.
I also wish to express my appreciation to the members of our Temasek International Panel and the Temasek
Advisory Panel for their wisdom and candid advice. They, together with our corporate advisors and alumni,
have provided an added dimension to our reach, capacity and capabilities.
Finally, I wish to thank our other stakeholders – our shareholder, bondholders, business partners, friends
and regulators across the world – for their warm support, solicitous interest and thoughtful guidance. With
a strong universe of friends and supporters, I am confident that we will be able to continue to grow steadily,
and contribute to the development of a better future for ourselves, and for the wider global community.

A PRACTICAL SOLUTION
The year was 1974. The objective was to find a way to better manage the portfolio of companies and
investments accumulated by the Singapore Ministry of Finance in the first decade of nation building since
1965. The intent was for the Ministry to focus on its core role of policy making and government administration.
Thus was born Temasek Holdings – a practical solution and the beginning of the patient building of an
institution, its people and its infrastructure. It was to be a journey with a commitment to build a sustainable
future.
Governed by the Singapore Companies Act, and later also designated a Fifth Schedule Company under
the Singapore Constitution in 1991, Temasek operates on commercial principles as an autonomous and
professional investment house, guided by an independent board. Endowed with an initial portfolio of about
S$350 million transferred from the Ministry of Finance, the market value of our portfolio has grown some
33 years later to over S$160 billion as at 31 March 2007.
Although an exempt private company1
, we have chosen in recent years to publish our group financials
annually, obtain a credit rating by top-ranked global institutions and issue an international bond.
We have a staff incentive framework which is aligned to sustainable wealth creation for our shareholder.
Likewise, we formalised the sharing of our successes with the wider community through the setting up
of philanthropic organisations, including a life sciences research institution and most recently, the Temasek
Trust and the Temasek Foundation.
These and other initiatives form part of the patient building of a 250-strong multinational institution in
preparation for tomorrow.
1
Under the Singapore Companies Act (Chapter 50), an exempt private company has no more than 20 shareholders and no corporate
shareholder, and is exempted from filing its audited financials with the public registry.
“We must learn to do things today
with tomorrow very clearly in our minds”

CREATING VALUE
As a professionally managed investment house, our decisions are guided by business tenets and commercial
discipline.
As the owner of our portfolio, and not simply as a fund manager, we have both the flexibility of a long or
short horizon and the option of taking concentrated risks or holding cash.
Our responsibility is to create and maximise long-term returns for our shareholder in the value of the
portfolio we hold and the dividends we pay.
We have delivered a total shareholder return by market value of more than 18% compounded annually
for 33 years since our inception. This includes an average annual dividend yield of over 7% to our
shareholder. Measured by the increase in our shareholder funds and the dividends we have paid, we have
delivered a compounded annual total return of over 17% to our shareholder.
We are an active shareholder, regularly exploring ways to create value for our portfolio companies by
sharing best practices, innovative business models and progressive ideas. We focus on encouraging strong
independent board leadership and governance founded on integrity, competence and diversity, to guide
businesses and management.
As an active investor, we are open at all times to maintain, increase or reduce our holdings, based on our
investment risk-reward value tests and outlook. New investments are made or existing ones divested as
part of our overall portfolio rebalancing for sustainable risk-adjusted returns.
Our approach is inclusive, based on trust and integrity. Regardless of size or stature, we engage our
stakeholders, including the boards and management of our portfolio companies, our fellow shareholders,
regulators and other market participants, to achieve sustainable mutual benefits. This engagement helps
us promote strong corporate governance principles among our portfolio companies and in the wider
community. It also helps us test and validate our analyses and judgment against those of other knowledgeable
and independent third parties. More importantly, this opens up many more opportunities for us to share
risks, partner in co-investments or contribute to the community.

Transforming Economies
The overall economic activity in Asia remains brisk and the outlook bright, as governments continue to
build socio-political platforms for jobs and opportunities for their people.
Singapore is the single largest country exposure in our portfolio at 38%. The rest of Asia, excluding
Singapore and Japan, constitutes another 40%, up from 34% the year before.
China and India continue to lead the charge in Asia, with real GDP expanding by 10.7% and 9.2%
respectively in 2006. Robust external demand, including strong intra-Asia trade flows, has revived the
growth of the established Asian Tigers such as Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore.
The ASEAN-4 countries, namely Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia, delivered an average
real GDP growth of 5.4% in 2006. Vietnam saw its real GDP rising at an average rate of 7.5% a year since
2000 and increased its export market share by 50%.
Further afield, Pakistan, the Middle East, Central Asia and Turkey saw strengthening economies, even
amidst varying degrees of uncertainty and change.
Outside Asia, other resource-rich economies are transforming too, buoyed by the uplift from commodity
and energy demands in recent years. Meanwhile, the three largest economies of USA, Japan and Europe
continue to restructure, supported by a strong base of technology and management depth. This augurs
well for Asia, though some significant risks remain in the short and medium term.
39
CHINA
China continues its pace of transformation unabated. With rapid urbanisation and fast-rising disposable
incomes, the residential real estate and consumer & lifestyle sectors are proxies for our interest in the
rapidly growing middle class. We also focused on energy and resources driven by China’s robust demand
to support its growth.
Over the past year, we invested over S$1.6 billion to back emerging champions such as Country Garden,
the largest property developer, Xingyu Hengdeli, the largest luxury watch retail chain, and Yingli Green
Energy, a leading solar equipment producer in China. Our investments in new private equity funds such
as CITIC Capital China Partners and Trust Bridge Partners complement our direct investments in China.
INDIA
As India continues to deregulate and liberalise, job opportunities such as those in business process
outsourcing (BPO) are expanding its middle class. India’s companies are not only thriving in their home
market, but are venturing into the international market with confidence.
Our earlier investments in emerging champions, such as ICICI Bank and BPO company Firstsource Solutions,
continue to give us exposure to India’s broad-based growth. New investment commitments included Tata
Sky, a provider of Direct-to-Home digital satellite TV services, and INX Media, a new television broadcaster.
VIETNAM
With a population of more than 85 million, the third largest in ASEAN after Indonesia and the Philippines,
and an improving regulatory framework, Vietnam is a young Asian Tiger in the making as it liberalises and
deregulates.
We took a 10% stake in Minh Phu Seafood Joint-Stock Company in June 2007. This is a leading shrimp
processor and exporter in Vietnam, with exports to US, Japan, Canada, EU and Australia. Real estate is
another attractive sector, its demand driven by the growing wealth of its people. We made our second
investment in Indochina Capital’s Vietnam-dedicated real estate funds. The new fund will acquire and
develop office, retail, residential and hotel as well as resort properties.
RUSSIA
A dynamic and rapidly developing market, Russia’s economy is diversifying beyond energy and natural
resources. Its growing middle class is fuelling demand for consumer products and services.
Investments made by the Russia New Growth Fund in its maiden year of operations in 2006 are demonstrating
strong growth in tandem with the rise in disposable income. Co-sponsored with our Russian partner,
Troika Dialog, at end 2005, this fund targets consumer-driven industries. During the year, we also invested
in Integra Group, an oil field services company.
40
CitySpring
CREATING A NEW PLATFORM TO DELIVER LONG-TERM VALUE
Asia is estimated to require more than US$300 billion annually up to 2010 for new and existing infrastructure
and facilities.
Conceived as a stable yield product and listed on the Singapore Exchange on 12 February 2007, CitySpring
is the first infrastructure business trust in Asia. This innovative and tax-efficient business trust democratises
large infrastructure-based businesses into tradable units. It allows retail investors to access an asset class
previously not within their reach, while giving global investors a widely accessible and liquid platform to
participate in Asia’s growth. Its initial portfolio, with a market capitalisation of over S$600 million, comprises
100% of City Gas Trust, a town gas distributor and retailer, and 70% of SingSpring Trust, the first supplier
of desalinated water in Singapore.
A first in Asia, the CitySpring business trust provides regular distributions from its surplus cash beyond
accounting profits. It has the mandate to acquire and manage assets in greater Asia, including Australia,
New Zealand and the Middle East.
CitySpring’s sub-trust structure allows it to act as an incubator for other sponsors to pilot and build their
own specialised sub-trusts under CitySpring. Infrastructure developers across Asia, as well as international
investors, can benefit from opportunities provided by CitySpring.
A new avenue for funding Asia’s infrastructure has been created.

FINANCIAL SERVICES
One key sector which reflects the broad growth across the transforming economies is banking and financial
services.
Standard Chartered is one of our significant investments of the year. Its pan-Asia banking operations
support our strategy of investing in and contributing to the region’s growth.
In China, China Construction Bank and Bank of China remain our two largest investment exposures to
the growing Chinese economy.
In India, we continue to strongly support and benefit from the growth story of ICICI Bank, which now
commands 30% of the retail finance market. Fullerton India Credit Company, a unit of Fullerton Financial
Holdings, also saw a successful pilot last year for serving the mass markets, and has begun to reach out
to the underserved.
Our platform in NIB Bank of Pakistan was expanded recently through an acquisition of Pakistan Industrial
Credit & Investment Corporation Ltd (PICIC) in June 2007. The combined entity will have the seventh
largest branch network in Pakistan to support the roll-out of new banking products in the medium term.
Our investments in VTB Bank and Sberbank of Russia and in Mitsui Life of Japan added to our portfolio
in the financial services sector.
INFRASTRUCTURE
The physical landscape of Asia is also undergoing dramatic change. The Asian Development Bank estimates
that East and South Asia will spend some US$250 billion (S$380 billion) annually over the next four years
on new and existing infrastructure and facilities. This reflects the overall economic demands of the region.
To capitalise on these opportunities, we worked closely with regulators and partners like Hyflux on the
initial public offering of CitySpring Infrastructure Trust. Launched in early 2007 with an initial portfolio of
two cashflow-stable assets in Singapore, the town gas distribution network and the first desalination plant
in Singapore, the Singapore-listed Trust is the first infrastructure business trust listed in Asia.
In Vietnam, we took a 9% stake in the first Vietnam-focused infrastructure fund, Vietnam Infrastructure
Limited, a closed-end AIM-listed fund managed by VinaCapital.
Most recently, we made a commitment to invest in GVK Power and Infrastructure Limited, one of India’s
leading infrastructure development companies. This would make us the largest foreign investor in the
company.
ENHANCING VALUE THROUGH A CREATIVE SOLUTION
We have been an investor in private equity funds for more than 15 years, building up a quality portfolio
of funds and establishing networks and partnerships across the globe.
Taking advantage of growing investor sophistication, we introduced an innovative structure to securitise
a portfolio of our interests in private equity funds through Astrea in the third quarter of 2006. Astrea is a
special purpose vehicle set up to purchase our interests in the portfolio of 46 funds. This portfolio of both
buyout and venture capital funds is well diversified by vintage and geography.
The first such product to be originated by an Asia-based institution, Astrea is one of the largest transactions
of its kind. It raised a total of nearly US$810 million in debt and equity denominated in both US Dollars
and Euros. S&P and Moody’s rated the debt tranches at AAA/Aaa and AA/Aa. The transaction was well
subscribed for all classes of securities in the capital structure.
Temasek remains an anchor investor in the equity tranche and will benefit from the continued performance
of the underlying funds. At the same time, we generated substantial liquidity from an otherwise illiquid
asset class and enhanced our returns.

Thriving Middle Class
TELECOMMUNICATIONS & MEDIA
The Telecommunications & Media sector is our second largest sectoral exposure.
One of our largest investments is in Shin Corp in Thailand. While growth projections for the economy have
softened, we remain cautiously optimistic about Thailand’s longer term future.
Our largest direct investment in a private enterprise in India, Tata Teleservices continues to benefit from
the growing mobile subscriber penetration across a broad swathe of India’s population.
CONSUMER & LIFESTYLE
2006 saw our first sizeable investment in the consumer space, as part of our broader interest to capitalise
on the emerging middle class and growing consumption in Asia.
Our 15% stake in Fraser and Neave in end 2006 enables us to benefit from the growth of household
consumer names like Tiger beer, F&N and 100-plus soft drinks, as well as international brands such as
Heineken.
Our investment in Xinyu Hengdeli, the largest luxury watch distributor and retail chain in China, also
mirrors our interest in rising middle class demands.
REAL ESTATE
The outlook for the real estate sector in Asia remains bullish, energised by a growing and thriving middle
class in rapidly urbanising economies.
In China, our direct stakes in Country Garden, Evergrande and Green Town were augmented by our
commitment to Gateway Capital Real Estate Fund II.
Elsewhere, we invested in London-listed residential developer, PIK Group, Russia’s largest real estate
developer, and broadened our real estate exposure in India and Vietnam as well.

CONTRIBUTING VALUE IN PUBLIC HEALTH
As the Spanish flu of 1918 has shown, a pandemic can paralyse economies and destroy millions of lives.
Viruses recognise no national boundaries.
At Temasek, we have been funding a research institute, Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory (TLL), since
2002. With an active research programme on infectious diseases, TLL developed diagnostic kits for Severe
Acute Respiratory Syndrome, which were deployed in Singapore’s Tan Tock Seng Hospital in 2003.
With the looming threat of the H5N1 bird flu, TLL is once again marshalling its research capabilities to
prepare against a potential pandemic. Equipped with a bio-safety level 3 (BSL3) laboratory, TLL identified
a panel of H5N1-specific monoclonal antibodies, which were successfully translated into accurate and
sensitive diagnostic tools that can be rapidly deployed in the field. Work is on-going to bring these
easy-to-use, affordable diagnostic kits into volume production as a frontline tool to detect and prevent the
spread of avian flu.
Partner organisations working with TLL in avian flu research include the National Institute of Health
Research and Development at the Ministry of Health in Indonesia and the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine
at Bogor Agricultural University of Indonesia, as well as other multilateral agencies and companies.

ENERGY & RESOURCES
Countries that offer superior comparative advantage in energy and resources are indirect proxies for global
growth.
Our 11% stake in CITIC Resources, a company based in Hong Kong, puts us in a good position to ride
on China’s strong appetite for energy and resources.
Separately, we led the pre-IPO investment in Yingli Green Energy, the second largest integrated solar
equipment manufacturer in China, which was successfully listed on the New York Stock Exchange in June
2007. We also provided expansion capital to Jiuda Salt, the largest independent salt producer in the
country, and invested in Sino-Forest, China’s leading private forestry company that is listed on the Toronto
Stock Exchange.
Our investment in MEG Energy, one of the largest private Canadian oil sands developers, gave us an
exposure to the non-conventional fuel space.
Our anchor position in Pacific Road Resources Fund, an Australia-based specialised resources fund
focused on investing in mining projects in Asia Pacific, South America and OECD economies, rounds up
our exposure in this sector for the year.
LIFE SCIENCES
Tapping the comparative advantages offered by different countries in intellectual property development,
we invested in two drug development companies: Intercell AG of Austria and Vical of USA in the vaccine
space for platform technologies.
We seek to generate intellectual property through funding of research and development. The Temasek
Life Sciences Laboratory is leveraging its strengths in molecular biology and genetics to develop low-cost
rapid diagnostic kits for avian flu as its contribution to public health.

ADDING VALUE AS A SUPPORTIVE SHAREHOLDER
Firstsource Solutions (formerly known as ICICI OneSource) is currently the third largest pure-play provider
of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services in India. It serves global clients by leveraging a network
of delivery centres around the world to cover the financial services, telecommunications & media, and
healthcare industries.
As an active and supportive shareholder over the last three years, we shared our own experiences and
insights as an investor in successful regional companies with the Firstsource board and its management.
Such sharing complemented their expertise and capabilities as they explored regional opportunities for
growth.
Firstsource has delivered strong results, with revenues growing two and a half times from 320 crore Rupees
(S$112 million) as at 31 March 2005 to 840 crore Rupees (S$292 million) for the year ended March
2007.
The company had a successful listing on the National Stock Exchange of India in February 2007 with a
market value in excess of US$900 million (S$1.37 billion).
Looking ahead, the Indian BPO industry is estimated to grow from US$5 billion in 2005 to US$25 billion
in 2010. There is ample headroom for Firstsource to continue to grow and deliver long-term returns.
TECHNOLOGY
During the year, we completed a second tranche of investment in Firstsource Solutions, one of the emerging
champions in the business processing outsourcing space in India. The company successfully listed on
India’s National Stock Exchange in February 2007.
Separately, we took a view on the semiconductor space and made a voluntary cash tender offer for
STATS ChipPAC, a global semiconductor wafer assembly and test operation, raising our stake from
35% to 83%.
We made an investment in Lian Lian Holdings Ltd of China which provides a low cost platform for mobile
micro-payments. Ideal for the mass market in China and developing countries, Lian Lian’s network has
the potential for other services such as games.
TRANSPORTATION & LOGISTICS
Apart from our interests in two budget carriers in Singapore, we also backed a new air cargo start-up in
China. A 3-way joint venture between Beijing Aerospace Satellite Applications Corporation, Singapore
Airlines and Temasek, Great Wall Airlines began operations in June 2006.

We strive to achieve excellence and deliver results in a professional and responsible way through MERIIT.
These corporate values are the foundation of our culture and guide our day-to-day interaction with one
another.
Living our Values
55
MERITOCRACY
We recognise and reward people based on their contributions and achievements.
TEAMWORK
We are a community with diverse strengths working together to achieve a common goal.
INNOVATION
We constantly look for ways to do things better by providing an environment where we
can learn from our failures as well as our successes.
INTEGRITY
We apply the highest ethical, moral and professional standards in our conduct, both as
individuals and as an organisation.
RESPECT FOR PEOPLE
We believe that people are our most valuable assets, and we value the unique contributions
of every person.
EXCELLENCE
We are passionate about delivering results, and are committed to continually improve
and succeed in everything we do.
TAKING OWNERSHIP
Our leadership and functional competency framework helps us identify opportunities to develop programmes
and initiatives for enhancing existing competencies.
Our people take ownership for their personal growth as well as the professional development of their
colleagues and teams.
One example is our partnership with Adkins Matchett & Toy, a global financial training firm, to develop a
customised financial modelling and valuation programme. Jointly led by two of our young investment
colleagues and our human resources team, the programme was very well received. Many of our portfolio
companies and partners have expressed their interest to join us in the coming runs.
Our secretaries likewise took the initiative to develop supplementary enrichment programmes for themselves.
Through a series of hands-on training workshops and educational trips to our key markets, they gained
valuable insight into different business cultures and environments, enabling them to provide better support
to our teams in the field.
Our Pool Management programme focuses on giving our associates maximum exposure and learning
across sectors in their early years. Each new associate is paired with a senior management member as
a mentor to guide their development. This approach provides opportunities for young associates to learn
beyond the boundaries of their immediate responsibilities.
In addition to building a strong learning culture, we continue to engage our people through regular
interactions ranging from breakfast meetings with senior management, to bi-monthly town hall meetings
and our yearly Temasek Connection.

Our Compensation Framework
ALIGNING LONG-TERM INTERESTS
Our staff interests are aligned with our shareholder interest through our compensation
framework, which balances short-term performance and sustainable long-term value creation.
Whenever Temasek achieves positive wealth added, particularly from our direct investment
activities, a fraction of the attributable wealth added is set aside as a performance-driven
staff incentive pool.
One part of this incentive pool funds our wealth added bonus plan. The direct and indirect
contributions of our staff to our overall performance and success, including their roles in
fostering Temasek values and teamwork, will determine their share of the incentive pie under
this plan. To align staff interests with sustainable returns, a substantial proportion of such
wealth added bonuses is deferred, especially for senior management. Should wealth added
be negative in future years, a corresponding share will be deducted from the deferred
bonuses.
Another part of the incentive pool funds the Temasek Staff Co-investment Plan or T-Scope.
Participation in T-Scope depends on the individual performance of our staff as well as their
potential to contribute to the future success of Temasek. The awarded T-Scope units will only
start to vest when Temasek exceeds specified multi-year performance hurdles over a term
of three to five years.
Thus, the wealth added we create for Temasek determines the size of the incentive pie for
our staff, while the sustainability of wealth creation shapes the medium to long-term risks
and rewards for our staff in the form of deferred bonuses and T-Scope units.
58
Sound corporate governance is an important pillar of our ongoing commitment to achieve sustainable
shareholder value through excellence and integrity.
A robust and pragmatic governance framework provides a practical balance between accountability and
responsiveness, between empowerment and organisational alignment, and between risks and returns.
We espouse the principles of commercial discipline, built on professionalism and robust processes, and
reinforced through a performance incentive system that is aligned with sustainable shareholder return.
RELATING TO OUR SHAREHOLDER
Temasek is an investment company that owns and manages its assets on a commercial basis.
We are an exempt private company
1
incorporated on 25 June 1974 to hold and manage investments
previously held by our shareholder, the Minister for Finance (Incorporated).
This represents a policy commitment for these investments to be managed by Temasek on a sound
commercial basis, as distinct from the government’s public interest role of policy-making and market
regulations. This frees the government to act in the larger interests of the overall economy.
Temasek operates under the purview of the Singapore Companies Act and all other applicable laws and
regulations governing companies incorporated in Singapore. Within this regulatory framework, Temasek
operates with full commercial discretion and flexibility, under the direction of our Board of Directors.
We provide audited annual financial reports, as well as periodic updates to our shareholder. While not
required to release financials publicly, we have published our group financial highlights in our annual
Temasek Review since 2004.
We also review our dividend policy from time to time, balancing cash returns to our shareholder against
re-investments to sustain future returns.
1
Under the Singapore Companies Act (Chapter 50), an exempt private company has no more than 20 shareholders and no corporate
shareholder, and is exempted from filing its audited financials with the public registry.
Institutionalising Governance
59
RELATING TO THE ELECTED PRESIDENT
In 1991, the Singapore Constitution was amended to provide for the direct election of the President of
the Republic of Singapore. This constitutional amendment gives the Elected President an independent
role to safeguard Singapore’s critical assets and past reserves.
Under this amendment, Temasek was designated a Fifth Schedule Company
2
.
In particular, the President’s concurrence is required for the appointment or removal of our Board members
and our CEO. Board members are eligible for re-appointment with the concurrence of the President.
Each Board appointment or renewal is for a fixed term not exceeding three years.
Apart from its normal fiduciary duties, our Board is accountable to the President to ensure that every
disposal of investment is transacted at a fair market value.
Most importantly, our Board is required to ensure that our annual operating budget or any proposed
transaction does not diminish our past reserves. These past reserves have been built up over the years
from our profits, including dividends and gains from our investments and accounted for before the current
term of office of the Singapore Government. Our reserves, past or current, may be re-invested in the form
of assets or other investments. Our Board is required to seek the approval of the President before we draw
on or diminish our own past reserves
3
.
Our Chairman and our CEO are required to certify our Statement of Reserves and Statement of Past
Reserves to the President on a half-yearly basis.
Investment, business or commercial decisions are the responsibility of our Board and management.
Neither the President nor the Singapore Government is involved in directing our investment, divestment
or other business decisions.
2
Other Fifth Schedule entities include Government of Singapore Investment Corporation Pte Ltd (GIC), which manages the reserves
of the Singapore Government, and statutory boards involved in managing critical assets, such as the Central Provident Fund Board
and the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
3
Temasek does not manage the reserves of the Singapore Government, or the reserves of any other Fifth Schedule entity. Each Fifth
Schedule entity is managed independently, and is separately accountable to the President through its own Board and CEO for the
protection of its past reserves.
60
RELATING TO OUR PORTFOLIO COMPANIES
We do not direct the commercial or operational decisions of our portfolio companies. Companies in our
portfolio are managed by their respective management. They are guided and supervised by their respective
board of directors.
Where necessary and appropriate, we actively engage various stakeholders, including the boards and
managements of our portfolio companies, our fellow shareholders, regulators and other market participants.
Over the years, this engagement has widened to include both informal networking opportunities and
organised forums.
Overall, we promote sound corporate governance in our portfolio companies by supporting high calibre,
commercially experienced and diverse boards to complement outstanding business leadership and
dedicated staff.
TEMASEK BOARD AND COMMITTEES
The Temasek Board comprises a majority of non-executive independent private sector business leaders.
They bring a wealth of experience to our deliberations.
Our Board provides overall guidance and policy directions to our management. Each year, the Board is
scheduled to meet on a quarterly basis for full-day sessions, but will meet more often when necessary.
Due to the level of investment activities, nine Board meetings were held in FY2006
1
.
Our Board is assisted by the Executive Committee (EXCO), the Audit Committee (AC), and the Leadership
Development & Compensation Committee (LDCC), each of which addresses specific matters as determined
by the Board. Each committee is chaired by an independent, non-executive Director.
On the recommendation of the AC, our Board approves the annual audited accounts prior to submission
to the shareholder for adoption at an Annual General Meeting.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (EXCO)
Within the financial limits delegated by our Board, the EXCO is authorised to review, consider, and approve
matters relating to supervision and control, financing and funding, mergers and acquisitions, changes in
our shareholding structure, dividend policy and major business decisions. The EXCO is responsible for
formulating policies and guidelines to manage Temasek’s capital resources effectively and efficiently.
The EXCO meets between Board meetings, or as and when required, to provide timely approval of major
decisions. In FY2006, it held seven meetings.
1
FY2006 ends on 31 March 2007.
61
2
FY2007 ends on 31 March 2008.
AUDIT COMMITTEE (AC)
The AC reviews our systems and processes to ensure the proper conduct of our company business. These
include:
• Financial reporting
• Internal and external audit
• Internal controls
• Compliance with applicable laws and regulations
• Temasek Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice
• Valuation Policy and Procedures
It reviews the audited accounts before submission for Board approval, and makes recommendations to
the Board for the appointment or re-appointment of the auditor. The AC is authorised by the Board to seek
any information that it requires from any of our employees. It may also obtain external legal or other
professional advice to enable it to discharge its functions appropriately.
The AC met four times in FY2006. Among other things, it reviewed internal control issues, Temasek’s
valuation policy updates, and the Audit Memorandum for FY2006, and approved the Internal Audit Work
Plan for FY2007
2
.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT & COMPENSATION COMMITTEE (LDCC)
The objective of the LDCC is to establish policies and provide guidance in the areas of leadership and
succession plans for key positions and board appointments, renewals and compensation.
Temasek supports robust board governance processes for leadership renewal. These include the separation
of roles between the Board Chairman and the CEO, as well as an institutionalised process for CEO
performance review and succession. The LDCC also reviews trends in non-executive directors’ compensation
in order to keep pace with industry norms for attracting top quality directors.
Performance-based compensation plans are a critical component of overall staff compensation and
incentive. Properly designed, such compensation plans can help align the interests of management and
staff with the interests of the company and shareholders. In principle, we support performance incentives
that are derived from wealth added or economic profit, and have short, medium and long-term alignments
to shareholder returns. Such incentives include performance and restricted share plans, as well as share
ownership plans.
62
These governance issues as well as market trends and developments form the basis for Temasek’s
engagement with its portfolio companies at shareholder meetings and other appropriate forums.
During the year, the LDCC revised its fee guidelines for Non-Executive Directors following a study on
market industry trends on directors’ compensation packages. The LDCC held a dialogue with the
compensation committee members of our major portfolio companies to share its market research findings
and revised directors’ compensation guidelines with a view to increasing awareness of boards to governance
issues and global market benchmarks on directors’ compensation.
For Temasek itself, our LDCC reviews and approves performance-based incentive plans for our management
as well as the salary and compensation of our CEO and Executive Directors. Fees and any other incentives
for the non-executive directors on our Board are subject to approval by our shareholder at an Annual or
Extraordinary General Meeting.
The LDCC met four times in FY2006.
BOARD AND COMMITTEE DECISIONS
Board and committee decisions may be made at a meeting or obtained via circulation. Board members
may participate in meetings via telephone or video-conference. Decisions at our Board and committee
meetings are based on a simple majority of the votes. In case of a tied vote, the Chairman has a second
or casting vote. Where a Board resolution is obtained via circulation, the resolution becomes effective
upon approval by at least two-thirds of the directors.
In the event that Board members have interests that may conflict with specific Temasek interests, they
are recused from the relevant Board or Board committee deliberations and decisions.
Our Board conducts executive sessions regularly, without the presence of our CEO and/or management,
to discuss and decide on confidential senior staff matters. These include the review of CEO performance
and succession as well as the review of our senior leadership team.
TEMASEK MANAGEMENT
The responsibility of our management is to create and maximise sustainable returns for our shareholder.
Robust systems and processes are in place to ensure we comply with the rules and regulations of the
jurisdictions where we have investments or operations. We continue to update or refine these as we expand
into new markets or incorporate new technology platforms or capabilities.
Our management also participates in dialogues with regulators and other market participants on governance
and other regulatory issues to help promote fair and practical market oversight.

The range of risks Temasek Holdings faces has transformed with the
reshaping of our portfolio. To maintain our current growth momentum
and performance, potential returns have to be constantly balanced
against the new risks we are taking.
During the year, we implemented new measures to further strengthen
our risk management techniques and institutionalise our investment
processes. To this end, additional policies have been introduced,
supporting systems upgraded, and our risk management team
expanded.
We have introduced a new three-tiered structure to approve investments
based on the financial commitments involved. To provide full segregation
of our fund management business from the investment decision-
making process of its parent, a ‘Chinese Wall’ is in place between
Fullerton Fund Management Company and Temasek Holdings.
Our investment process is regularly reviewed and refined to ensure
that responsiveness and flexibility are balanced against rigour and
governance.
RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK
Our Board and CEO are responsible for the oversight and management
of strategic, financial and operational risks. They are supported by
our senior management team and Risk Management Unit (RMU).
Together, they determine the objectives and policies of our risk
management framework, and promote a culture of risk awareness
and sense of balance in risk-taking.
Since our goal is to maximise long-term shareholder value, the risk-
reward decisions are not driven by short-term gains.

STRATEGIC RISKS
Notwithstanding our growing exposure to Singapore from
S$57 billion to S$62 billion, its share in our portfolio has
further declined from 44% to 38% over the 12 months to
31 March 2007. Meanwhile, we have increased our exposure
to the rest of Asia (excluding Japan and Singapore) from
34% of our portfolio to 40%.
Overall, while we have nearly 78% exposure in Asia, our
exposure to AA/AAA-rated and the OECD economies forms
about 60% of our portfolio. About 80% of our portfolio
comprises listed or liquid assets.
Some 61% of our portfolio value is in the financial services
and telecommunications & media sectors. Both correlate
with the growth of the emerging middle class in Asia. No
single investment accounts for more than 20% of our
portfolio value.

FINANCIAL RISKS
To track market risk, we use a Value-at-Risk (VaR) statistical model that estimates the potential loss on
a portfolio for a given confidence level. Our VaR for a 12-month period at an 84% confidence level was
derived using a Monte Carlo simulation based on three years of price data.
As at 31 March 2007, our VaR was about S$24 billion. This implies a 16% probability, under normal
market conditions, of incurring marked-to-market losses in excess of S$24 billion in the following
12-month period.
The diversified VaR of 10 companies contributed over 70% of our total diversified VaR. These include
Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel), China Construction Bank, CapitaLand, DBS Group Holdings
and Singapore Airlines.
Over the last financial year, our VaR rose by S$16 billion while our portfolio increased by S$35 billion.
Ten companies contributed to more than two thirds of the increase in VaR, half from the banking sector,
and the other half being our major portfolio companies such as SingTel. As a percentage of our total
portfolio value, our VaR increased from 7% in the previous year to 15% at the end of March 2007, reflecting
the increased market volatility over the year.

OPERATIONAL RISKS
During the financial year, we focused on workflow automation, process improvement, capability enhancement
and talent development.
Some notable examples include new systems to automate investment workflow and better manage business
performance, greater use of the Straight-Through Processing system, upgrading of our business continuity
capability, as well as strengthening our internal capabilities through acquisition of talent and skills.
We have also accelerated our efforts to implement a multi-year and multi-faceted IT programme to deliver
a new level of connectivity, collaboration, automation and enterprise performance measurability with
improved accuracy and enhanced operational efficiency. Our efforts continue to pay off, resulting in the
enhancement and strengthening of our policy framework, infrastructure and processes, human capital
and value creation.
LEGAL & REGULATIONS
Members of our Legal & Regulations Unit are actively involved in investments, projects, contentious issues
management and other business activities. Robust tracking systems and processes such as the automated
Singapore share tracking system have also been set up by leveraging technology to ensure legal and
regulatory compliance in the jurisdictions where Temasek has investments. Legal risks are also managed
through a centralised legal risk framework.
Legal and regulatory knowledge and experiences are institutionalised and shared to achieve optimal service
delivery. This also deepens the organisation’s knowledge base and enhances our execution capabilities.
INTERNAL COMPLIANCE
To achieve sustainable shareholder value, we strive to foster a culture where our six core MERIIT values

Building a Shared Tomorrow
76
Anchored in Asia, we contribute to a successful Asia by investing in businesses which create jobs and
serve the needs of customers. We also invest in the development of people and the strengthening of ties
in the region.
FORGING FRIENDSHIP
We build friendships through an open exchange of experiences, ideas, learnings and opportunities. This
helps us play our part in the international business community and foster partnerships for growth and
development in a prospering Asia.
During the year, we hosted more than 60 delegations from various countries including Bhutan, China,
India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Mozambique, Qatar, Sweden, Turkey and Vietnam. The International
Monetary Fund and World Bank Governors’ Annual Meetings in September 2006 were opportunities to
interact with more than 40 international delegations in Singapore.
We continue to engage various institutions in other countries to exchange views and perspectives. These
include state-owned agencies such as China’s State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration
Commission, Kazakhstan’s JSC Kazakhstan Holding for Management of State Assets and Vietnam’s State
Capital Investment Corporation. We also exchanged views with investment agencies like the Abu Dhabi
Investment Authority, the Kuwait Investment Authority and the Korea Investment Agency. These interactions
have brought closer understanding of the opportunities and challenges we all share in a fast changing
landscape.
The Temasek International Panel and the Temasek Advisory Panel provide us with much valuable guidance.
Meeting for the third year, the Temasek International Panel focused on Opportunities and Challenges,
particularly with regard to Japan, commodities and resources, and rising nationalism. Members of the
Temasek Advisory Panel supported our activities in various capacities, including providing insights on
specific opportunities.
HONING LEADERSHIP
Human capital is the engine for sustainable growth. Leadership development, in particular, is a critical
component.
We share learning and networking opportunities with the leadership of our portfolio companies as well
as corporates around the region. These included corporate governance forums at the middle and senior
management levels.
Our Business Leadership Centre saw a successful second run of the Leaders! Programme for high-potential
management. Some 30 participants from across the region gathered together in Singapore and Shanghai
to learn about business practices in a creative and collegial way.
Through their internships with us, postgraduate students from top universities gained insights while
developing Asia-based case studies, which added to the accumulation and sharing of our institutional
knowledge.
ENLARGING THE TALENT POOL
Accredited and appointed by The Institute of Banking & Finance as a lead provider for training in the
wealth management sector, the four-year old Wealth Management Institute (WMI) has produced 132
graduates from 13 countries under its flagship Master of Science in Wealth Management course. WMI
also played host to Asian central bankers and regulators in this graduate course through the Temasek
Regional Regulators Scholarships in Wealth Management.
The widely recognised WMI Certificate in Private Banking course has seen 350 successful participants.
They came from more than 30 banks in Australia, China, France, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Singapore
and Thailand.
WMI continues to customise private banking programmes for banks in the region. Specialised courses
being planned include Investing in Commodities, Trust & Estate Planning and Trust Administration.
CONNECTING PEOPLE
Held on 6 November 2006, the second Annual Temasek Forum on Growing Asia saw the participation
of more than 500 board members and senior management of our portfolio companies and partners from
around the region.
In addition, we held 12 forums for over 500 participants, organised by function, industry or geography,
to promote the sharing of specific or specialised expertise and experience. Risk Exposures & Mitigations,
New Trends & Variations in Technology M&As and Latest Developments on Foreign Investments in the
US were some topics discussed at these forums.
Into its third year, the Asia Banking CEO Roundtable brought together 24 Chairmen and CEOs of major
banks in the region for a lively exchange on Building Competitive Advantage at Jeju Island in Korea.
77
NURTURING OUR YOUNG
We continue to reach out to regional communities, bringing people together and contributing to worthy
causes, particularly for the young.
Aimed at nurturing cross-border friendship and building understanding across Asia’s cultural diversity,
the one-week Sunburst Youth Camp saw a successful ninth annual run with 160 delegates from ASEAN
countries, China, India and Kazakhstan.
For the third year running, we supported the Bull Run™ organised by the Singapore Exchange, which
raised funds for 13 charitable groups primarily focused on the needs of the young.
FRAMING THE FUTURE
We have been contributing to the future of Asia through our sponsorship of non-profit philanthropic
organisations such as the Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory for research, the Singapore Millennium
Foundation for scholarships, and the Singapore Technologies Endowment Programme for exchange
programmes.
To augment the ongoing initiatives of these non-profit organisations, the Temasek Foundation was
established to evaluate, drive and support community programmes in Asia.
In May 2007, we formalised our commitment to invest in our wider community through the launch of the
Temasek Trust with an initial endowment of S$500 million.

SHARING A FUTURE OF VALUES
As an investment firm anchored in Asia and headquartered in Singapore, Temasek understands the value
of investing in the next generation.
Temasek has been playing its role as a corporate citizen since its inception 33 years ago. From sponsoring
public concerts to scholarships, from organising youth exchange programmes to forums for business
leaders, from supporting research against infectious diseases to disaster relief and reconstruction, Temasek
has helped to create opportunities for Asia and Asians to progress.
It is with a tomorrow of hope and opportunities very clearly in our minds that we have sponsored non-
profit philanthropic organisations (NPOs) such as the Singapore Technologies Endowment Programme,
the Singapore Millennium Foundation, the Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory, and now the Temasek Trust
and Temasek Foundation.
THE TEMASEK TRUST
To institutionalise our commitment to the wider community, our Board approved a plan in 2003 to annually
set aside a share of our wealth added, or economic profit, as our contribution to the community. We
delivered positive wealth added and thus accumulated funds over the last four years. Meanwhile, we
evaluated different non-profit models to actualise our intent.
We formalised our commitment to share our value and values through the launch of the Temasek Trust
in May 2007. The non-profit Trust has an initial endowment of S$500 million (US$330 million) with an
annual disbursement rate of 4%. The endowment will be re-invested with Temasek on a commingled
basis, or alternatively be directed to approved fund managers appointed by Temasek.

The four founding Trustees of the Temasek Trust are eminent persons from Asia, namely founding
Chairman Mr Lee Seng Wee and Mr Sim Kee Boon from Singapore, Mr Ratan Tata from India and Professor
Xu Kuangdi from China. They ensure that the gifts are properly invested in accordance to the terms and
conditions of the Trust Deed and the Deed of Gift, and the funds are disbursed in line with its mandate.
While the Trust may receive donations from other sources, it will not actively solicit them. Future contributions
from Temasek will depend on the firm achieving positive wealth added.
THE SINGAPORE TECHNOLOGIES ENDOWMENT PROGRAMME
Conceived to foster friendship and understanding across Asia, particularly through exchanges among its
youth, the Singapore Technologies Endowment Programme (STEP) was first established by the Singapore
Technologies Group as part of its 30th anniversary commitment in July 1997, with Temasek as a co-
sponsor. Temasek has been the sole sponsor since 2004.
For the last nine years, STEP has sponsored and organised the annual Sunburst Youth Camp, bringing
together a total of 1,124 youths from 14 countries. Participants from the pioneer batch are now successful
young adults eager to contribute to the wider community in their respective home countries.
As part of its 10th anniversary commemoration, STEP will be expanding its repertoire of programmes to
foster friendship and understanding across a broader segment of the community.
THE SINGAPORE MILLENNIUM FOUNDATION
Set up in April 2001 to boost learning and the development of human capital through research in the new
millennium, the Singapore Millennium Foundation (SMF) offers 30 to 40 scholarships each year for
postgraduate studies and post-doctoral research.
Open to all nationalities, the SMF has sponsored 165 scholars and research fellows in total from 15
countries including Singapore. The SMF funding focuses on cutting-edge research in niche areas and
cross-discipline research, working in partnership with universities in Singapore as well as research institutes
like the Singapore Institute of Mental Health, National Neuroscience Institute of Singapore, National Cancer
Centre and the Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory.
81
THE TEMASEK LIFE SCIENCES LABORATORY
Established five years ago in August 2002, the Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory hosts 190 scientists
from 24 countries to undertake basic and applied research in cellular, molecular and genetic biology. The
cross fertilisation of different ideas and disciplines makes for a vibrant research community. One third of
its research programmes is directed at practical research such as improving non-food biofuel sources and
developing affordable rapid diagnostic kits and vaccines for the H5N1 bird flu virus.
Supported by 57 administrative and technical staff, Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory has supervised
altogether 56 PhD candidates. It also contributes to scientific education through a well-received internship
programme for young budding scientists from junior colleges.
THE TEMASEK FOUNDATION
Set up in May this year to provide a mandate broader than the more specific programmes of the earlier
NPOs, the Temasek Foundation has four focus areas across Asia:
• investing in future generations through education, healthcare, knowledge and research;
• building bridges among people of diverse races, languages, religions and cultures;
• promoting better governance and regulatory capabilities; and
• supporting disaster emergency relief and recovery.
Education will be the Foundation’s primary focus, as it strives to uplift the opportunities for the younger
generation. Exchange programmes will help build bridges to promote understanding and cooperation for
mutual benefit among Asia’s diverse communities.
To help businesses flourish and communities prosper, the Foundation will also promote better governance
and regulatory capabilities through sharing best practices in the region.

We too are changing and re-inventing ourselves as Asia transforms. However, the principle of creating and managing for value remains a constant for us, as do our core values of integrity, meritocracy and excellence. These are the compass points for us to remain focused and relevant to our stakeholders, including our portfolio companies, employees, shareholder, bondholders, partners, friends as well as society at large. In so doing, we remain true to the vision, commitment and dedication of our founding generation, as well as the many others who have contributed to our success over the years to do things today with tomorrow clearly in mind.

  • 14. 1 First financial year ended in December 1975. 2 Financial year-end was changed from 31 December before 1993 to 31 March from 1994 onwards. 12 Starting with an initial portfolio of S$354 million in 1974, Temasek’s net portfolio value has grown to S$164 billion as at 31 March 2007. Our Portfolio Value since Inception The book value of our portfolio has increased steadily over the years to S$114 billion, driven by the solid profit contributions of our portfolio companies and our investment activities. The market value of our portfolio over the years reflects both the performance of the underlying investments and the effects of external events. For example, the listing of SingTel in 1993 contributed to the biggest single-year increase in portfolio value, while the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic of 2003 caused a sharp correction in market values across Asia.

  • 15. Our Total Shareholder Return Total shareholder return (TSR) by market value is the compounded annual return over a specified period. It takes into account changes in the market value of our portfolio, dividends paid, as well as any net capital changes. For unlisted investments, we track the movements in shareholder funds in lieu of market prices. Since our inception, we have delivered a compounded annual TSR of more than 18%. Our one-, two- and three-year TSR by market value were 27%, 26% and 22% respectively. TSR by shareholder funds measures the changes in the book value of our portfolio, instead of market value. This reflects the underlying profitability of the portfolio businesses, uncoloured by the volatility caused by capital flows or other extraneous events. Our TSR by shareholder funds is more than 17% since our inception. Our 10-year TSR since the Asian financial crisis in 1997 was a steady 11% compounded annually. This is an affirmation of the underlying strength of our portfolio companies. The reshaping of our portfolio as well as the transformation driven by some of our portfolio companies have led to higher TSRs of more than 20% in more recent periods. % BY MARKET VALUE AND SHAREHOLDER FUNDS 13 25 27 21 16 11 15 17 27 26 22 17 8 19 19 By Market Value By Shareholder Funds 33 Years Since Inception TSR Period (ending 31 March 07) 1 Year 2 Years 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years 30 Years
  • 16. = Wealth Added Alignment with Shareholder Value As a performance indicator, Wealth Added factors in the capital employed to achieve returns and the risks associated with each investment. To achieve positive wealth added, we need to deliver more than the risk-adjusted hurdle called the capital charge. The capital employed is the opening market value of our portfolio at the start of the year, adjusted for any net capital movements. In the case of Temasek, the changes in the recurring operating costs for managing our portfolio into perpetuity are also taken into account. Wealth Added = Change in Market Value + Dividend Paid - Net Capital Injection - Perpetuity Value of Operating Cost - Capital Charge WEALTH ADDED MEASURES EXCESS RETURNS OVER HURDLE 14 = Change in Market Value -- Net capital injection by our shareholder -- Change in perpetuity value of our operating cost = Total return to our shareholder -- Capital Charge on Opening Market Value Opening Market Value + Dividend paid to our shareholder (NOT TO SCALE) Closing Market Value
  • 17. 15 CALCULATING WEALTH ADDED Also known as Economic Profit, Wealth Added is the total return to a shareholder less the capital charge. A shareholder’s total return is the change in the market value of his investments (or the change in book value in the case of unlisted assets), plus dividends he receives, adjusted for any net new capital he has invested. The capital charge is the risk-adjusted return hurdle that the shareholder expects. Illustrative Example: Consider a listed investment with an opening market value of $1,000, which has risen to $1,200 at the end of the year. During the year, the shareholder received dividends of $40, and invested $130 of new equity at the end of the year. His risk-adjusted cost of capital is 10%. Thus, Total return = ($1200 - $1000) + $40 - $130 = $110 Capital charge = 10% cost of capital x $1000 = $100 Wealth added = total return - capital charge = $10 In the following year, the capital charge is calculated on the latest opening market value of $1,200. Assuming no net capital movements or dividends, the portfolio value must increase by a hurdle of at least another $120 (i.e. 10% x $1,200) to achieve positive wealth added, compared to a capital charge hurdle of $100 in the year before.

  • 18. 16 Dr Goh Keng Swee, a former Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore and the man behind the founding of Temasek Holdings, once described the Singapore approach as follows: For us in Temasek, it was yet another year of our persistent search for practical solutions, a patient building of our institution and our infrastructure, and an accumulation of talented and committed staff, with a focus on delivering sustainable value. All in, it was a satisfying though eventful year. Our net portfolio value grew from S$129 billion to S$164 billion, or US$108 billion, on a marked-to-market basis as at end March 2007. Shareholder equity rose to S$114 billion, an increase of 26%. We invested almost S$16 billion and monetised over S$5 billion from our portfolio. Compared to S$21 billion of new investments and S$13 billion of divestments the previous year, transactions were much fewer in FY2006 ending 31 March 2007. This was partly the result of our view of market opportunities and our preference to maintain the flexibility of remaining in cash. Looking ahead, we remain cautious in the light of medium-term geo-economic risks and signs of bubbly market conditions. DELIVERING SHAREHOLDER RETURN For the year, we delivered a healthy total shareholder return of more than 27% by market value, including dividends, or a solid 25% by shareholder funds. Group wealth added increased by S$7 billion to S$23 billion, with almost S$7 billion from our direct investment activities at the Temasek level. Also known as economic profit, wealth added measures our excess shareholder return by market value above a risk-adjusted aggregate cost of capital.2 From the Chairman 1 Goh Keng Swee, The Economics of Modernisation, Marshall Cavendish Academic, 1972, pp234. 2 The capital base used for cost of capital calculations is the opening market value of our investments at the start of the year, with adjustment for any net new capital and changes in perpetuity value of our recurring operating costs. “There was a persistent search for practical solutions, a patient building of institutions and infrastructure, a generous allocation of funds, an accumulated collection of talented staff. In the end, it paid off.”1
  • 20. Group net profit was S$9 billion, compared to S$13 billion a year earlier. Profit contributions from our group companies remained robust. This drop is partly due to lower realised gains at the Temasek level from a much reduced level of divestments at S$5 billion, or down nearly two thirds compared to S$13 billion of divestments a year earlier, and partly due to the impairment of our investment in Shin Corp. Total shareholder return since our inception in 1974 remains strong at more than 18% by market value, and over 17% by shareholder funds, including an average annual dividend yield of more than 7% to our shareholder. PARTNERING ASIA IN DEVELOPMENT Asia continues to form the bulk of our portfolio exposure. Our underlying exposure to Singapore increased by 8% to S$62 billion. This accounted for 38% of our portfolio exposure, compared to 44% a year ago. We recorded our most substantial investment in food and beverage to-date, with a 15% stake in Fraser and Neave – one of Singapore’s most recognised food and beverage enterprises with a significant reach into the region. We pioneered an innovative, tax-efficient asset class in Singapore, by setting up and listing the CitySpring Infrastructure Trust. This yield-oriented model also enables retail investors to participate and invest in infrastructure opportunities. It is a potential incubator for other infrastructure sponsors and owners in Asia, with interesting implications for the development of much needed infrastructure in Asia. We also took advantage of the increasing depth of the debt market to introduce different risk-related securities, by securitising part of our private equity funds portfolio at attractive terms. This exercise generated significant liquidity from an otherwise illiquid asset class, through Astrea, a special purpose vehicle, which holds a portfolio of investments in private equity funds. In May 2007, we raised our stake in STATS ChipPAC from 35% to 83% following a voluntary cash tender offer for the company in March 2007. This provides us with greater exposure to the future potential of the semiconductor sector. Rest of Asia (excluding Singapore and Japan) was home to 40% of our portfolio as at end March 2007, compared to 34% in March last year and just 19% the year before in March 2005. This included the Asia exposure of Standard Chartered in which we made an investment in mid-2006. As we track the increasing urbanisation of a fast-growing middle class, real estate in China was a significant focus during the year. We also increased our exposure to emerging champions in India. Our portfolio 18
  • 21. companies in the Temasek stable grew strongly in China too, even as they continue to explore opportunities in the wider region. Overall, our exposure to Asia was 78%, including Singapore and Japan. Our maiden investment into the insurance sector through a portfolio stake in Japan’s Mitsui Life is also our largest investment in Japan. Looking ahead, Asia’s overall growth is expected to remain strong, with China and India leading the way for our investment focus. We continue to explore opportunities in Singapore, ASEAN and the rest of Asia as well as the OECD economies. LOOKING BEYOND ASIA Our exposure outside Asia remains at about 22% of our overall portfolio exposure. New investments in OECD economies include two companies in drug development, Intercell AG of Austria and Vical Inc of USA, both of which have platform technologies for the development of vaccines. We also invested in MEG Energy, one of the largest Canadian oil sands developers. We completed our first investment in childcare services recently with a 12% stake in ABC Learning Centres. The company operates childcare centres in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and USA. We continue to explore economies in transformation as potential new markets. This includes a recent investment in Russia at the initial public offering of the PIK Group and a small portfolio exposure in Latin America. CREATING VALUE Apart from our direct investment activities, we also embarked on other institutional initiatives to create value. We have adopted a methodology to review and manage our portfolio. The results from a year-long pilot programme are promising. They not only gave us a deeper view of where and how we may create value with some of our existing portfolio companies, but also flushed out new investment opportunities as we gained insights into the sectoral and global value chains. We will be building up teams and expanding our capabilities in this effort over the next two to three years, to complement our direct investment and corporate development activities. On the corporate development front, we continue to streamline our internal processes and systems. These include refinements and updating of various standard operating procedures, compliance processes and business continuity plans. 19
  • 22. SHARING VALUES AND VALUE As a long-term investor in Asia, we are committed to her development and growth. It is through sharing that we learn from and benefit each other, both in terms of the values which shape us and the value that we share. We continue to organise knowledge events such as the annual Temasek Forum and the Asia Banking CEO Roundtable for top management to share their experiences in managing businesses. Other platforms for sharing include our Business Leadership Centre and the Wealth Management Institute. We formalised the sharing of the shareholder value we have created by setting up the Temasek Trust with an initial S$500 million endowment. Funds for this and other initiatives had been accumulated over the past four years out of the positive wealth added we had delivered. Future contributions will be based on a sharing of positive wealth added we create in future years. One of the beneficiaries of the Trust is the newly-established Temasek Foundation. Launched together with the Temasek Trust in May this year, the Foundation will focus on programmes for social investments into the next generation in Asia through education and healthcare, as well as foster understanding and exchanges across Asia and promote better governance and ethics. By sharing values and value, we will continue to build a Temasek of character and distinction. BOARD MOVEMENTS We welcomed Mr Teo Ming Kian to our Board on 1 October 2006. He brings with him a wealth of expertise, gleaned from his years of public service and investment promotion experience. We reluctantly bade farewell to Mr Lim Siong Guan who stepped down from the Board on 13 July 2007 after having served more than a decade. Siong Guan joined the Temasek Board in May 1995 and served as Deputy Chairman from 1999 till October 2006. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Siong Guan for his frank and independent views and wise counsel over the years. 20
  • 23. RECOGNISING CONTRIBUTIONS I am deeply grateful to my fellow Board members, past and present, for sharing this journey with me to transform and grow Temasek since 1996. Their thoughtful insights, principled values and clarity have been an inspiration to the Temasek team and me. I would like to thank the management and staff of Temasek too. Individually and as a team, their boundless passion, tireless energy and steadfast commitment to make a difference have been a remarkable engine of value creation for the company. I want to also thank their spouses and families for their support and understanding, without which our staff would not have been able to give so much of themselves. The long-run success of Temasek has been due, in no small measure, to the boards, management and staff of our portfolio companies. They have been outstanding in their vision, integrity and unwavering commitment – qualities that have given our portfolio companies the edge to achieve sustainable results. I also wish to express my appreciation to the members of our Temasek International Panel and the Temasek Advisory Panel for their wisdom and candid advice. They, together with our corporate advisors and alumni, have provided an added dimension to our reach, capacity and capabilities. Finally, I wish to thank our other stakeholders – our shareholder, bondholders, business partners, friends and regulators across the world – for their warm support, solicitous interest and thoughtful guidance. With a strong universe of friends and supporters, I am confident that we will be able to continue to grow steadily, and contribute to the development of a better future for ourselves, and for the wider global community.

  • 36. Doing Things Today with Tomorrow in Mind 34 A PRACTICAL SOLUTION The year was 1974. The objective was to find a way to better manage the portfolio of companies and investments accumulated by the Singapore Ministry of Finance in the first decade of nation building since 1965. The intent was for the Ministry to focus on its core role of policy making and government administration. Thus was born Temasek Holdings – a practical solution and the beginning of the patient building of an institution, its people and its infrastructure. It was to be a journey with a commitment to build a sustainable future. Governed by the Singapore Companies Act, and later also designated a Fifth Schedule Company under the Singapore Constitution in 1991, Temasek operates on commercial principles as an autonomous and professional investment house, guided by an independent board. Endowed with an initial portfolio of about S$350 million transferred from the Ministry of Finance, the market value of our portfolio has grown some 33 years later to over S$160 billion as at 31 March 2007. Although an exempt private company1 , we have chosen in recent years to publish our group financials annually, obtain a credit rating by top-ranked global institutions and issue an international bond. We have a staff incentive framework which is aligned to sustainable wealth creation for our shareholder. Likewise, we formalised the sharing of our successes with the wider community through the setting up of philanthropic organisations, including a life sciences research institution and most recently, the Temasek Trust and the Temasek Foundation. These and other initiatives form part of the patient building of a 250-strong multinational institution in preparation for tomorrow. 1 Under the Singapore Companies Act (Chapter 50), an exempt private company has no more than 20 shareholders and no corporate shareholder, and is exempted from filing its audited financials with the public registry. “We must learn to do things today with tomorrow very clearly in our minds” – S RAJARATNAM Singapore Minister for Foreign Affairs National Day Message, 8 August 1966
  • 37. 35 CREATING VALUE As a professionally managed investment house, our decisions are guided by business tenets and commercial discipline. As the owner of our portfolio, and not simply as a fund manager, we have both the flexibility of a long or short horizon and the option of taking concentrated risks or holding cash. Our responsibility is to create and maximise long-term returns for our shareholder in the value of the portfolio we hold and the dividends we pay. We have delivered a total shareholder return by market value of more than 18% compounded annually for 33 years since our inception. This includes an average annual dividend yield of over 7% to our shareholder. Measured by the increase in our shareholder funds and the dividends we have paid, we have delivered a compounded annual total return of over 17% to our shareholder. We are an active shareholder, regularly exploring ways to create value for our portfolio companies by sharing best practices, innovative business models and progressive ideas. We focus on encouraging strong independent board leadership and governance founded on integrity, competence and diversity, to guide businesses and management. As an active investor, we are open at all times to maintain, increase or reduce our holdings, based on our investment risk-reward value tests and outlook. New investments are made or existing ones divested as part of our overall portfolio rebalancing for sustainable risk-adjusted returns. Our approach is inclusive, based on trust and integrity. Regardless of size or stature, we engage our stakeholders, including the boards and management of our portfolio companies, our fellow shareholders, regulators and other market participants, to achieve sustainable mutual benefits. This engagement helps us promote strong corporate governance principles among our portfolio companies and in the wider community. It also helps us test and validate our analyses and judgment against those of other knowledgeable and independent third parties. More importantly, this opens up many more opportunities for us to share risks, partner in co-investments or contribute to the community.

INCREASING ASIA EXPOSURE (%) 31 MAR 05 31 MAR 06 31 MAR 07 Singapore 49 44 38 Rest of Asia (excluding Japan) – North Asia (China, Taiwan, Korea) 8 19 24 – ASEAN (excluding Singapore) 9 12 12 – South Asia (India & Pakistan) 2 3 4 OECD Economies (excluding Korea) 30 20 20 Others 2 2 2 38 Transforming Economies The overall economic activity in Asia remains brisk and the outlook bright, as governments continue to build socio-political platforms for jobs and opportunities for their people. Singapore is the single largest country exposure in our portfolio at 38%. The rest of Asia, excluding Singapore and Japan, constitutes another 40%, up from 34% the year before. China and India continue to lead the charge in Asia, with real GDP expanding by 10.7% and 9.2% respectively in 2006. Robust external demand, including strong intra-Asia trade flows, has revived the growth of the established Asian Tigers such as Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore. The ASEAN-4 countries, namely Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia, delivered an average real GDP growth of 5.4% in 2006. Vietnam saw its real GDP rising at an average rate of 7.5% a year since 2000 and increased its export market share by 50%. Further afield, Pakistan, the Middle East, Central Asia and Turkey saw strengthening economies, even amidst varying degrees of uncertainty and change. Outside Asia, other resource-rich economies are transforming too, buoyed by the uplift from commodity and energy demands in recent years. Meanwhile, the three largest economies of USA, Japan and Europe continue to restructure, supported by a strong base of technology and management depth. This augurs well for Asia, though some significant risks remain in the short and medium term.
  • 41. 39 CHINA China continues its pace of transformation unabated. With rapid urbanisation and fast-rising disposable incomes, the residential real estate and consumer & lifestyle sectors are proxies for our interest in the rapidly growing middle class. We also focused on energy and resources driven by China’s robust demand to support its growth. Over the past year, we invested over S$1.6 billion to back emerging champions such as Country Garden, the largest property developer, Xingyu Hengdeli, the largest luxury watch retail chain, and Yingli Green Energy, a leading solar equipment producer in China. Our investments in new private equity funds such as CITIC Capital China Partners and Trust Bridge Partners complement our direct investments in China. INDIA As India continues to deregulate and liberalise, job opportunities such as those in business process outsourcing (BPO) are expanding its middle class. India’s companies are not only thriving in their home market, but are venturing into the international market with confidence. Our earlier investments in emerging champions, such as ICICI Bank and BPO company Firstsource Solutions, continue to give us exposure to India’s broad-based growth. New investment commitments included Tata Sky, a provider of Direct-to-Home digital satellite TV services, and INX Media, a new television broadcaster. VIETNAM With a population of more than 85 million, the third largest in ASEAN after Indonesia and the Philippines, and an improving regulatory framework, Vietnam is a young Asian Tiger in the making as it liberalises and deregulates. We took a 10% stake in Minh Phu Seafood Joint-Stock Company in June 2007. This is a leading shrimp processor and exporter in Vietnam, with exports to US, Japan, Canada, EU and Australia. Real estate is another attractive sector, its demand driven by the growing wealth of its people. We made our second investment in Indochina Capital’s Vietnam-dedicated real estate funds. The new fund will acquire and develop office, retail, residential and hotel as well as resort properties. RUSSIA A dynamic and rapidly developing market, Russia’s economy is diversifying beyond energy and natural resources. Its growing middle class is fuelling demand for consumer products and services. Investments made by the Russia New Growth Fund in its maiden year of operations in 2006 are demonstrating strong growth in tandem with the rise in disposable income. Co-sponsored with our Russian partner, Troika Dialog, at end 2005, this fund targets consumer-driven industries. During the year, we also invested in Integra Group, an oil field services company.
  • 42. 40 CitySpring CREATING A NEW PLATFORM TO DELIVER LONG-TERM VALUE Asia is estimated to require more than US$300 billion annually up to 2010 for new and existing infrastructure and facilities. Conceived as a stable yield product and listed on the Singapore Exchange on 12 February 2007, CitySpring is the first infrastructure business trust in Asia. This innovative and tax-efficient business trust democratises large infrastructure-based businesses into tradable units. It allows retail investors to access an asset class previously not within their reach, while giving global investors a widely accessible and liquid platform to participate in Asia’s growth. Its initial portfolio, with a market capitalisation of over S$600 million, comprises 100% of City Gas Trust, a town gas distributor and retailer, and 70% of SingSpring Trust, the first supplier of desalinated water in Singapore. A first in Asia, the CitySpring business trust provides regular distributions from its surplus cash beyond accounting profits. It has the mandate to acquire and manage assets in greater Asia, including Australia, New Zealand and the Middle East. CitySpring’s sub-trust structure allows it to act as an incubator for other sponsors to pilot and build their own specialised sub-trusts under CitySpring. Infrastructure developers across Asia, as well as international investors, can benefit from opportunities provided by CitySpring. A new avenue for funding Asia’s infrastructure has been created.

  • 43. 41 FINANCIAL SERVICES One key sector which reflects the broad growth across the transforming economies is banking and financial services. Standard Chartered is one of our significant investments of the year. Its pan-Asia banking operations support our strategy of investing in and contributing to the region’s growth. In China, China Construction Bank and Bank of China remain our two largest investment exposures to the growing Chinese economy. In India, we continue to strongly support and benefit from the growth story of ICICI Bank, which now commands 30% of the retail finance market. Fullerton India Credit Company, a unit of Fullerton Financial Holdings, also saw a successful pilot last year for serving the mass markets, and has begun to reach out to the underserved. Our platform in NIB Bank of Pakistan was expanded recently through an acquisition of Pakistan Industrial Credit & Investment Corporation Ltd (PICIC) in June 2007. The combined entity will have the seventh largest branch network in Pakistan to support the roll-out of new banking products in the medium term. Our investments in VTB Bank and Sberbank of Russia and in Mitsui Life of Japan added to our portfolio in the financial services sector. INFRASTRUCTURE The physical landscape of Asia is also undergoing dramatic change. The Asian Development Bank estimates that East and South Asia will spend some US$250 billion (S$380 billion) annually over the next four years on new and existing infrastructure and facilities. This reflects the overall economic demands of the region. To capitalise on these opportunities, we worked closely with regulators and partners like Hyflux on the initial public offering of CitySpring Infrastructure Trust. Launched in early 2007 with an initial portfolio of two cashflow-stable assets in Singapore, the town gas distribution network and the first desalination plant in Singapore, the Singapore-listed Trust is the first infrastructure business trust listed in Asia. In Vietnam, we took a 9% stake in the first Vietnam-focused infrastructure fund, Vietnam Infrastructure Limited, a closed-end AIM-listed fund managed by VinaCapital. Most recently, we made a commitment to invest in GVK Power and Infrastructure Limited, one of India’s leading infrastructure development companies. This would make us the largest foreign investor in the company.
  • 44. ENHANCING VALUE THROUGH A CREATIVE SOLUTION We have been an investor in private equity funds for more than 15 years, building up a quality portfolio of funds and establishing networks and partnerships across the globe. Taking advantage of growing investor sophistication, we introduced an innovative structure to securitise a portfolio of our interests in private equity funds through Astrea in the third quarter of 2006. Astrea is a special purpose vehicle set up to purchase our interests in the portfolio of 46 funds. This portfolio of both buyout and venture capital funds is well diversified by vintage and geography. The first such product to be originated by an Asia-based institution, Astrea is one of the largest transactions of its kind. It raised a total of nearly US$810 million in debt and equity denominated in both US Dollars and Euros. S&P and Moody’s rated the debt tranches at AAA/Aaa and AA/Aa. The transaction was well subscribed for all classes of securities in the capital structure. Temasek remains an anchor investor in the equity tranche and will benefit from the continued performance of the underlying funds. At the same time, we generated substantial liquidity from an otherwise illiquid asset class and enhanced our returns.

  • 45. Thriving Middle Class TELECOMMUNICATIONS & MEDIA The Telecommunications & Media sector is our second largest sectoral exposure. One of our largest investments is in Shin Corp in Thailand. While growth projections for the economy have softened, we remain cautiously optimistic about Thailand’s longer term future. Our largest direct investment in a private enterprise in India, Tata Teleservices continues to benefit from the growing mobile subscriber penetration across a broad swathe of India’s population. CONSUMER & LIFESTYLE 2006 saw our first sizeable investment in the consumer space, as part of our broader interest to capitalise on the emerging middle class and growing consumption in Asia. Our 15% stake in Fraser and Neave in end 2006 enables us to benefit from the growth of household consumer names like Tiger beer, F&N and 100-plus soft drinks, as well as international brands such as Heineken. Our investment in Xinyu Hengdeli, the largest luxury watch distributor and retail chain in China, also mirrors our interest in rising middle class demands. REAL ESTATE The outlook for the real estate sector in Asia remains bullish, energised by a growing and thriving middle class in rapidly urbanising economies. In China, our direct stakes in Country Garden, Evergrande and Green Town were augmented by our commitment to Gateway Capital Real Estate Fund II. Elsewhere, we invested in London-listed residential developer, PIK Group, Russia’s largest real estate developer, and broadened our real estate exposure in India and Vietnam as well. 43 Tata Teleservices store in central Delhi Xinyu Hengdeli stand-alone store in Beijing
  • 46. 44 CONTRIBUTING VALUE IN PUBLIC HEALTH As the Spanish flu of 1918 has shown, a pandemic can paralyse economies and destroy millions of lives. Viruses recognise no national boundaries. At Temasek, we have been funding a research institute, Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory (TLL), since 2002. With an active research programme on infectious diseases, TLL developed diagnostic kits for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, which were deployed in Singapore’s Tan Tock Seng Hospital in 2003. With the looming threat of the H5N1 bird flu, TLL is once again marshalling its research capabilities to prepare against a potential pandemic. Equipped with a bio-safety level 3 (BSL3) laboratory, TLL identified a panel of H5N1-specific monoclonal antibodies, which were successfully translated into accurate and sensitive diagnostic tools that can be rapidly deployed in the field. Work is on-going to bring these easy-to-use, affordable diagnostic kits into volume production as a frontline tool to detect and prevent the spread of avian flu. Partner organisations working with TLL in avian flu research include the National Institute of Health Research and Development at the Ministry of Health in Indonesia and the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Bogor Agricultural University of Indonesia, as well as other multilateral agencies and companies.

  • 47. ENERGY & RESOURCES Countries that offer superior comparative advantage in energy and resources are indirect proxies for global growth. Our 11% stake in CITIC Resources, a company based in Hong Kong, puts us in a good position to ride on China’s strong appetite for energy and resources. Separately, we led the pre-IPO investment in Yingli Green Energy, the second largest integrated solar equipment manufacturer in China, which was successfully listed on the New York Stock Exchange in June 2007. We also provided expansion capital to Jiuda Salt, the largest independent salt producer in the country, and invested in Sino-Forest, China’s leading private forestry company that is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Our investment in MEG Energy, one of the largest private Canadian oil sands developers, gave us an exposure to the non-conventional fuel space. Our anchor position in Pacific Road Resources Fund, an Australia-based specialised resources fund focused on investing in mining projects in Asia Pacific, South America and OECD economies, rounds up our exposure in this sector for the year. LIFE SCIENCES Tapping the comparative advantages offered by different countries in intellectual property development, we invested in two drug development companies: Intercell AG of Austria and Vical of USA in the vaccine space for platform technologies. We seek to generate intellectual property through funding of research and development. The Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory is leveraging its strengths in molecular biology and genetics to develop low-cost rapid diagnostic kits for avian flu as its contribution to public health.

  • 48. Firstsource Solutions 46 Firstsource call centre in Mumbai ADDING VALUE AS A SUPPORTIVE SHAREHOLDER Firstsource Solutions (formerly known as ICICI OneSource) is currently the third largest pure-play provider of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services in India. It serves global clients by leveraging a network of delivery centres around the world to cover the financial services, telecommunications & media, and healthcare industries. As an active and supportive shareholder over the last three years, we shared our own experiences and insights as an investor in successful regional companies with the Firstsource board and its management. Such sharing complemented their expertise and capabilities as they explored regional opportunities for growth. Firstsource has delivered strong results, with revenues growing two and a half times from 320 crore Rupees (S$112 million) as at 31 March 2005 to 840 crore Rupees (S$292 million) for the year ended March 2007. The company had a successful listing on the National Stock Exchange of India in February 2007 with a market value in excess of US$900 million (S$1.37 billion). Looking ahead, the Indian BPO industry is estimated to grow from US$5 billion in 2005 to US$25 billion in 2010. There is ample headroom for Firstsource to continue to grow and deliver long-term returns.
  • 49. TECHNOLOGY During the year, we completed a second tranche of investment in Firstsource Solutions, one of the emerging champions in the business processing outsourcing space in India. The company successfully listed on India’s National Stock Exchange in February 2007. Separately, we took a view on the semiconductor space and made a voluntary cash tender offer for STATS ChipPAC, a global semiconductor wafer assembly and test operation, raising our stake from 35% to 83%. We made an investment in Lian Lian Holdings Ltd of China which provides a low cost platform for mobile micro-payments. Ideal for the mass market in China and developing countries, Lian Lian’s network has the potential for other services such as games. TRANSPORTATION & LOGISTICS Apart from our interests in two budget carriers in Singapore, we also backed a new air cargo start-up in China.

Back in China, she was the founder of a learning centre, organising and conducting courses for job- hunting students. Lenny Chen Associate, Investment Country of Origin: China “What I particularly like about Temasek is the relatively flat structure.

  • 58. TAKING OWNERSHIP Our leadership and functional competency framework helps us identify opportunities to develop programmes and initiatives for enhancing existing competencies. Our people take ownership for their personal growth as well as the professional development of their colleagues and teams. One example is our partnership with Adkins Matchett & Toy, a global financial training firm, to develop a customised financial modelling and valuation programme. Jointly led by two of our young investment colleagues and our human resources team, the programme was very well received. Many of our portfolio companies and partners have expressed their interest to join us in the coming runs. Our secretaries likewise took the initiative to develop supplementary enrichment programmes for themselves. Through a series of hands-on training workshops and educational trips to our key markets, they gained valuable insight into different business cultures and environments, enabling them to provide better support to our teams in the field. Our Pool Management programme focuses on giving our associates maximum exposure and learning across sectors in their early years. Each new associate is paired with a senior management member as a mentor to guide their development. This approach provides opportunities for young associates to learn beyond the boundaries of their immediate responsibilities.

  • 59. 57 Our Compensation Framework ALIGNING LONG-TERM INTERESTS Our staff interests are aligned with our shareholder interest through our compensation framework, which balances short-term performance and sustainable long-term value creation. Whenever Temasek achieves positive wealth added, particularly from our direct investment activities, a fraction of the attributable wealth added is set aside as a performance-driven staff incentive pool. One part of this incentive pool funds our wealth added bonus plan. The direct and indirect contributions of our staff to our overall performance and success, including their roles in fostering Temasek values and teamwork, will determine their share of the incentive pie under this plan. To align staff interests with sustainable returns, a substantial proportion of such wealth added bonuses is deferred, especially for senior management. Should wealth added be negative in future years, a corresponding share will be deducted from the deferred bonuses. Another part of the incentive pool funds the Temasek Staff Co-investment Plan or T-Scope. Participation in T-Scope depends on the individual performance of our staff as well as their potential to contribute to the future success of Temasek. The awarded T-Scope units will only start to vest when Temasek exceeds specified multi-year performance hurdles over a term of three to five years. Thus, the wealth added we create for Temasek determines the size of the incentive pie for our staff, while the sustainability of wealth creation shapes the medium to long-term risks and rewards for our staff in the form of deferred bonuses and T-Scope units.
  • 60. 58 Sound corporate governance is an important pillar of our ongoing commitment to achieve sustainable shareholder value through excellence and integrity. A robust and pragmatic governance framework provides a practical balance between accountability and responsiveness, between empowerment and organisational alignment, and between risks and returns. We espouse the principles of commercial discipline, built on professionalism and robust processes, and reinforced through a performance incentive system that is aligned with sustainable shareholder return. RELATING TO OUR SHAREHOLDER Temasek is an investment company that owns and manages its assets on a commercial basis. We are an exempt private company 1 incorporated on 25 June 1974 to hold and manage investments previously held by our shareholder, the Minister for Finance (Incorporated). This represents a policy commitment for these investments to be managed by Temasek on a sound commercial basis, as distinct from the government’s public interest role of policy-making and market regulations. This frees the government to act in the larger interests of the overall economy. Temasek operates under the purview of the Singapore Companies Act and all other applicable laws and regulations governing companies incorporated in Singapore. Within this regulatory framework, Temasek operates with full commercial discretion and flexibility, under the direction of our Board of Directors. We provide audited annual financial reports, as well as periodic updates to our shareholder. While not required to release financials publicly, we have published our group financial highlights in our annual Temasek Review since 2004. We also review our dividend policy from time to time, balancing cash returns to our shareholder against re-investments to sustain future returns. 1 Under the Singapore Companies Act (Chapter 50), an exempt private company has no more than 20 shareholders and no corporate shareholder, and is exempted from filing its audited financials with the public registry. Institutionalising Governance
  • 61. 59 RELATING TO THE ELECTED PRESIDENT In 1991, the Singapore Constitution was amended to provide for the direct election of the President of the Republic of Singapore. This constitutional amendment gives the Elected President an independent role to safeguard Singapore’s critical assets and past reserves. Under this amendment, Temasek was designated a Fifth Schedule Company 2 . In particular, the President’s concurrence is required for the appointment or removal of our Board members and our CEO. Board members are eligible for re-appointment with the concurrence of the President. Each Board appointment or renewal is for a fixed term not exceeding three years. Apart from its normal fiduciary duties, our Board is accountable to the President to ensure that every disposal of investment is transacted at a fair market value. Most importantly, our Board is required to ensure that our annual operating budget or any proposed transaction does not diminish our past reserves. These past reserves have been built up over the years from our profits, including dividends and gains from our investments and accounted for before the current term of office of the Singapore Government. Our reserves, past or current, may be re-invested in the form of assets or other investments. Our Board is required to seek the approval of the President before we draw on or diminish our own past reserves 3 . Our Chairman and our CEO are required to certify our Statement of Reserves and Statement of Past Reserves to the President on a half-yearly basis. Investment, business or commercial decisions are the responsibility of our Board and management. Neither the President nor the Singapore Government is involved in directing our investment, divestment or other business decisions. 2 Other Fifth Schedule entities include Government of Singapore Investment Corporation Pte Ltd (GIC), which manages the reserves of the Singapore Government, and statutory boards involved in managing critical assets, such as the Central Provident Fund Board and the Monetary Authority of Singapore. 3 Temasek does not manage the reserves of the Singapore Government, or the reserves of any other Fifth Schedule entity. Each Fifth Schedule entity is managed independently, and is separately accountable to the President through its own Board and CEO for the protection of its past reserves.
  • 62. 60 RELATING TO OUR PORTFOLIO COMPANIES We do not direct the commercial or operational decisions of our portfolio companies. Companies in our portfolio are managed by their respective management. They are guided and supervised by their respective board of directors. Where necessary and appropriate, we actively engage various stakeholders, including the boards and managements of our portfolio companies, our fellow shareholders, regulators and other market participants. Over the years, this engagement has widened to include both informal networking opportunities and organised forums. Overall, we promote sound corporate governance in our portfolio companies by supporting high calibre, commercially experienced and diverse boards to complement outstanding business leadership and dedicated staff. TEMASEK BOARD AND COMMITTEES The Temasek Board comprises a majority of non-executive independent private sector business leaders. They bring a wealth of experience to our deliberations. Our Board provides overall guidance and policy directions to our management. Each year, the Board is scheduled to meet on a quarterly basis for full-day sessions, but will meet more often when necessary. Due to the level of investment activities, nine Board meetings were held in FY2006 1 . Our Board is assisted by the Executive Committee (EXCO), the Audit Committee (AC), and the Leadership Development & Compensation Committee (LDCC), each of which addresses specific matters as determined by the Board. Each committee is chaired by an independent, non-executive Director. On the recommendation of the AC, our Board approves the annual audited accounts prior to submission to the shareholder for adoption at an Annual General Meeting. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (EXCO) Within the financial limits delegated by our Board, the EXCO is authorised to review, consider, and approve matters relating to supervision and control, financing and funding, mergers and acquisitions, changes in our shareholding structure, dividend policy and major business decisions. The EXCO is responsible for formulating policies and guidelines to manage Temasek’s capital resources effectively and efficiently. The EXCO meets between Board meetings, or as and when required, to provide timely approval of major decisions. In FY2006, it held seven meetings. 1 FY2006 ends on 31 March 2007.
  • 63. 61 2 FY2007 ends on 31 March 2008. AUDIT COMMITTEE (AC) The AC reviews our systems and processes to ensure the proper conduct of our company business. These include: • Financial reporting • Internal and external audit • Internal controls • Compliance with applicable laws and regulations • Temasek Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice • Valuation Policy and Procedures It reviews the audited accounts before submission for Board approval, and makes recommendations to the Board for the appointment or re-appointment of the auditor. The AC is authorised by the Board to seek any information that it requires from any of our employees. It may also obtain external legal or other professional advice to enable it to discharge its functions appropriately. The AC met four times in FY2006. Among other things, it reviewed internal control issues, Temasek’s valuation policy updates, and the Audit Memorandum for FY2006, and approved the Internal Audit Work Plan for FY2007 2 . LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT & COMPENSATION COMMITTEE (LDCC) The objective of the LDCC is to establish policies and provide guidance in the areas of leadership and succession plans for key positions and board appointments, renewals and compensation. Temasek supports robust board governance processes for leadership renewal. These include the separation of roles between the Board Chairman and the CEO, as well as an institutionalised process for CEO performance review and succession. The LDCC also reviews trends in non-executive directors’ compensation in order to keep pace with industry norms for attracting top quality directors. Performance-based compensation plans are a critical component of overall staff compensation and incentive. Properly designed, such compensation plans can help align the interests of management and staff with the interests of the company and shareholders. In principle, we support performance incentives that are derived from wealth added or economic profit, and have short, medium and long-term alignments to shareholder returns. Such incentives include performance and restricted share plans, as well as share ownership plans.
  • 64. 62 These governance issues as well as market trends and developments form the basis for Temasek’s engagement with its portfolio companies at shareholder meetings and other appropriate forums. During the year, the LDCC revised its fee guidelines for Non-Executive Directors following a study on market industry trends on directors’ compensation packages. The LDCC held a dialogue with the compensation committee members of our major portfolio companies to share its market research findings and revised directors’ compensation guidelines with a view to increasing awareness of boards to governance issues and global market benchmarks on directors’ compensation. For Temasek itself, our LDCC reviews and approves performance-based incentive plans for our management as well as the salary and compensation of our CEO and Executive Directors. Fees and any other incentives for the non-executive directors on our Board are subject to approval by our shareholder at an Annual or Extraordinary General Meeting. The LDCC met four times in FY2006. BOARD AND COMMITTEE DECISIONS Board and committee decisions may be made at a meeting or obtained via circulation. Board members may participate in meetings via telephone or video-conference. Decisions at our Board and committee meetings are based on a simple majority of the votes. In case of a tied vote, the Chairman has a second or casting vote. Where a Board resolution is obtained via circulation, the resolution becomes effective upon approval by at least two-thirds of the directors. In the event that Board members have interests that may conflict with specific Temasek interests, they are recused from the relevant Board or Board committee deliberations and decisions. Our Board conducts executive sessions regularly, without the presence of our CEO and/or management, to discuss and decide on confidential senior staff matters. These include the review of CEO performance and succession as well as the review of our senior leadership team. TEMASEK MANAGEMENT The responsibility of our management is to create and maximise sustainable returns for our shareholder. Robust systems and processes are in place to ensure we comply with the rules and regulations of the jurisdictions where we have investments or operations. We continue to update or refine these as we expand into new markets or incorporate new technology platforms or capabilities. Our management also participates in dialogues with regulators and other market participants on governance and other regulatory issues to help promote fair and practical market oversight.

  • 70. The range of risks Temasek Holdings faces has transformed with the reshaping of our portfolio. To maintain our current growth momentum and performance, potential returns have to be constantly balanced against the new risks we are taking. During the year, we implemented new measures to further strengthen our risk management techniques and institutionalise our investment processes. To this end, additional policies have been introduced, supporting systems upgraded, and our risk management team expanded. We have introduced a new three-tiered structure to approve investments based on the financial commitments involved. To provide full segregation of our fund management business from the investment decision- making process of its parent, a ‘Chinese Wall’ is in place between Fullerton Fund Management Company and Temasek Holdings. Our investment process is regularly reviewed and refined to ensure that responsiveness and flexibility are balanced against rigour and governance. RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK Our Board and CEO are responsible for the oversight and management of strategic, financial and operational risks. They are supported by our senior management team and Risk Management Unit (RMU). Together, they determine the objectives and policies of our risk management framework, and promote a culture of risk awareness and sense of balance in risk-taking. Since our goal is to maximise long-term shareholder value, the risk- reward decisions are not driven by short-term gains.

Meanwhile, we have increased our exposure to the rest of Asia (excluding Japan and Singapore) from 34% of our portfolio to 40%. Overall, while we have nearly 78% exposure in Asia, our exposure to AA/AAA-rated and the OECD economies forms about 60% of our portfolio. About 80% of our portfolio comprises listed or liquid assets. Some 61% of our portfolio value is in the financial services and telecommunications & media sectors. Both correlate with the growth of the emerging middle class in Asia. No single investment accounts for more than 20% of our portfolio value. 38 40 20 2 Singapore RestofAsia (excluding Japan) OECD Econom ies (excluding Korea) Others Financial Services Telecommunications & Media Transportation & Logistics Real Estate Infrastructure, Industrial & Engineering Energy & Resources Technology Life Sciences, Consumer & Lifestyle Others 35 25 12 13 4 6 3 1 1 TEMASEK VaR BY SECTOR (%) 25 12 13 4 6 3 1 1
  • 72. 70 3-YEAR MARKET VOLATILITY Apart from tracking VaR, RMU also conducts monthly stress tests and scenario analyses to gauge the effect of low probability but high impact events. Monthly, it reviews our overall position and provides additional analyses of specific-event, industry or country risks. MSCI World Index MSCI Far East ex Japan Index MSCI Singapore Index FINANCIAL RISKS To track market risk, we use a Value-at-Risk (VaR) statistical model that estimates the potential loss on a portfolio for a given confidence level. Our VaR for a 12-month period at an 84% confidence level was derived using a Monte Carlo simulation based on three years of price data. As at 31 March 2007, our VaR was about S$24 billion. This implies a 16% probability, under normal market conditions, of incurring marked-to-market losses in excess of S$24 billion in the following 12-month period. The diversified VaR of 10 companies contributed over 70% of our total diversified VaR. These include Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel), China Construction Bank, CapitaLand, DBS Group Holdings and Singapore Airlines. Over the last financial year, our VaR rose by S$16 billion while our portfolio increased by S$35 billion. Ten companies contributed to more than two thirds of the increase in VaR, half from the banking sector, and the other half being our major portfolio companies such as SingTel. As a percentage of our total portfolio value, our VaR increased from 7% in the previous year to 15% at the end of March 2007, reflecting the increased market volatility over the year.

  • 73. OPERATIONAL RISKS During the financial year, we focused on workflow automation, process improvement, capability enhancement and talent development. Some notable examples include new systems to automate investment workflow and better manage business performance, greater use of the Straight-Through Processing system, upgrading of our business continuity capability, as well as strengthening our internal capabilities through acquisition of talent and skills. We have also accelerated our efforts to implement a multi-year and multi-faceted IT programme to deliver a new level of connectivity, collaboration, automation and enterprise performance measurability with improved accuracy and enhanced operational efficiency. Our efforts continue to pay off, resulting in the enhancement and strengthening of our policy framework, infrastructure and processes, human capital and value creation. LEGAL & REGULATIONS Members of our Legal & Regulations Unit are actively involved in investments, projects, contentious issues management and other business activities. Robust tracking systems and processes such as the automated Singapore share tracking system have also been set up by leveraging technology to ensure legal and regulatory compliance in the jurisdictions where Temasek has investments. Legal risks are also managed through a centralised legal risk framework. Legal and regulatory knowledge and experiences are institutionalised and shared to achieve optimal service delivery. This also deepens the organisation’s knowledge base and enhances our execution capabilities. INTERNAL COMPLIANCE To achieve sustainable shareholder value, we strive to foster a culture where our six core MERIIT values – meritocracy, excellence, respect for people, integrity, innovation and teamwork – are encouraged and rewarded. Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, codifies these values. Approved by relevant Board and management committees, it is built on professionalism and robust processes, to form part of our governance framework which provides a practical balance between accountability and responsiveness. INTERNAL AUDIT Internal Audit conducts periodic reviews on key processes and responds to Board and management requests to undertake special reviews. This is to ensure the end-to-end processes in Temasek Holdings are well controlled and any gaps identified can be expeditiously addressed. Increasingly, Internal Audit also acts as a source of corporate knowledge to other departments within the company. 71

We also invest in the development of people and the strengthening of ties in the region. FORGING FRIENDSHIP We build friendships through an open exchange of experiences, ideas, learnings and opportunities. This helps us play our part in the international business community and foster partnerships for growth and development in a prospering Asia. During the year, we hosted more than 60 delegations from various countries including Bhutan, China, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Mozambique, Qatar, Sweden, Turkey and Vietnam. The International Monetary Fund and World Bank Governors’ Annual Meetings in September 2006 were opportunities to interact with more than 40 international delegations in Singapore. We continue to engage various institutions in other countries to exchange views and perspectives. These include state-owned agencies such as China’s State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, Kazakhstan’s JSC Kazakhstan Holding for Management of State Assets and Vietnam’s State Capital Investment Corporation. We also exchanged views with investment agencies like the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, the Kuwait Investment Authority and the Korea Investment Agency. These interactions have brought closer understanding of the opportunities and challenges we all share in a fast changing landscape. The Temasek International Panel and the Temasek Advisory Panel provide us with much valuable guidance. Meeting for the third year, the Temasek International Panel focused on Opportunities and Challenges, particularly with regard to Japan, commodities and resources, and rising nationalism. Members of the Temasek Advisory Panel supported our activities in various capacities, including providing insights on specific opportunities. HONING LEADERSHIP Human capital is the engine for sustainable growth. Leadership development, in particular, is a critical component. We share learning and networking opportunities with the leadership of our portfolio companies as well as corporates around the region. These included corporate governance forums at the middle and senior management levels.

  • 80. NURTURING OUR YOUNG We continue to reach out to regional communities, bringing people together and contributing to worthy causes, particularly for the young. Aimed at nurturing cross-border friendship and building understanding across Asia’s cultural diversity, the one-week Sunburst Youth Camp saw a successful ninth annual run with 160 delegates from ASEAN countries, China, India and Kazakhstan. For the third year running, we supported the Bull Run™ organised by the Singapore Exchange, which raised funds for 13 charitable groups primarily focused on the needs of the young. FRAMING THE FUTURE We have been contributing to the future of Asia through our sponsorship of non-profit philanthropic organisations such as the Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory for research, the Singapore Millennium Foundation for scholarships, and the Singapore Technologies Endowment Programme for exchange programmes. To augment the ongoing initiatives of these non-profit organisations, the Temasek Foundation was established to evaluate, drive and support community programmes in Asia. In May 2007, we formalised our commitment to invest in our wider community through the launch of the Temasek Trust with an initial endowment of S$500 million. 78 Indonesian youths at the Sunburst Youth Camp 2006 Heads of Asian banks meet in Jeju Island, Korea
  • 81. SHARING A FUTURE OF VALUES As an investment firm anchored in Asia and headquartered in Singapore, Temasek understands the value of investing in the next generation. Temasek has been playing its role as a corporate citizen since its inception 33 years ago. From sponsoring public concerts to scholarships, from organising youth exchange programmes to forums for business leaders, from supporting research against infectious diseases to disaster relief and reconstruction, Temasek has helped to create opportunities for Asia and Asians to progress. It is with a tomorrow of hope and opportunities very clearly in our minds that we have sponsored non- profit philanthropic organisations (NPOs) such as the Singapore Technologies Endowment Programme, the Singapore Millennium Foundation, the Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory, and now the Temasek Trust and Temasek Foundation. THE TEMASEK TRUST To institutionalise our commitment to the wider community, our Board approved a plan in 2003 to annually set aside a share of our wealth added, or economic profit, as our contribution to the community. We delivered positive wealth added and thus accumulated funds over the last four years. Meanwhile, we evaluated different non-profit models to actualise our intent. We formalised our commitment to share our value and values through the launch of the Temasek Trust in May 2007. The non-profit Trust has an initial endowment of S$500 million (US$330 million) with an annual disbursement rate of 4%. The endowment will be re-invested with Temasek on a commingled basis, or alternatively be directed to approved fund managers appointed by Temasek. Temasek Trust & Beneficiaries 79
  • 82. 80 The four founding Trustees of the Temasek Trust are eminent persons from Asia, namely founding Chairman Mr Lee Seng Wee and Mr Sim Kee Boon from Singapore, Mr Ratan Tata from India and Professor Xu Kuangdi from China. They ensure that the gifts are properly invested in accordance to the terms and conditions of the Trust Deed and the Deed of Gift, and the funds are disbursed in line with its mandate. While the Trust may receive donations from other sources, it will not actively solicit them. Future contributions from Temasek will depend on the firm achieving positive wealth added. THE SINGAPORE TECHNOLOGIES ENDOWMENT PROGRAMME Conceived to foster friendship and understanding across Asia, particularly through exchanges among its youth, the Singapore Technologies Endowment Programme (STEP) was first established by the Singapore Technologies Group as part of its 30th anniversary commitment in July 1997, with Temasek as a co- sponsor. Temasek has been the sole sponsor since 2004. For the last nine years, STEP has sponsored and organised the annual Sunburst Youth Camp, bringing together a total of 1,124 youths from 14 countries. Participants from the pioneer batch are now successful young adults eager to contribute to the wider community in their respective home countries. As part of its 10th anniversary commemoration, STEP will be expanding its repertoire of programmes to foster friendship and understanding across a broader segment of the community. THE SINGAPORE MILLENNIUM FOUNDATION Set up in April 2001 to boost learning and the development of human capital through research in the new millennium, the Singapore Millennium Foundation (SMF) offers 30 to 40 scholarships each year for postgraduate studies and post-doctoral research. Open to all nationalities, the SMF has sponsored 165 scholars and research fellows in total from 15 countries including Singapore. The SMF funding focuses on cutting-edge research in niche areas and cross-discipline research, working in partnership with universities in Singapore as well as research institutes like the Singapore Institute of Mental Health, National Neuroscience Institute of Singapore, National Cancer Centre and the Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory.
  • 83. 81 THE TEMASEK LIFE SCIENCES LABORATORY Established five years ago in August 2002, the Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory hosts 190 scientists from 24 countries to undertake basic and applied research in cellular, molecular and genetic biology. The cross fertilisation of different ideas and disciplines makes for a vibrant research community. One third of its research programmes is directed at practical research such as improving non-food biofuel sources and developing affordable rapid diagnostic kits and vaccines for the H5N1 bird flu virus. Supported by 57 administrative and technical staff, Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory has supervised altogether 56 PhD candidates. It also contributes to scientific education through a well-received internship programme for young budding scientists from junior colleges. THE TEMASEK FOUNDATION Set up in May this year to provide a mandate broader than the more specific programmes of the earlier NPOs, the Temasek Foundation has four focus areas across Asia: • investing in future generations through education, healthcare, knowledge and research; • building bridges among people of diverse races, languages, religions and cultures; • promoting better governance and regulatory capabilities; and • supporting disaster emergency relief and recovery. Education will be the Foundation’s primary focus, as it strives to uplift the opportunities for the younger generation. Exchange programmes will help build bridges to promote understanding and cooperation for mutual benefit among Asia’s diverse communities. To help businesses flourish and communities prosper, the Foundation will also promote better governance and regulatory capabilities through sharing best practices in the region.
