Former Temasek CEO Ho Ching’s recent Facebook post appears to hint at a two-horse race in Singapore’s upcoming Presidential Election, seemingly discounting entrepreneur George Goh.
Temasek’s CIO, Rohit Sipahimalani, signals hesitation towards crypto investments due to regulatory uncertainty. Despite losing their FTX investment, of US$275million, Mdm Ho Ching, former Temasek CEO, had previously asserted long-term resilience in its investment strategy.
While Ho Ching highlighted the appeal of B&W houses’ natural setting despite its humble amenities, Ministers Shanmugam and Balakrishnan’s extensive clearance of their rented property’s greenery presents a conflicting scenario.
Ho Ching, in her latest Facebook post, likened the protection of Singapore’s reserves to a guarded safe – suggesting the exact sum isn’t crucial for safeguarding, but rather the stringent decisions upon its access.

However, Joseph Nathan questions her assertion that the President is not meant to be an independent voice or a check on government, given the established discretionary powers of the role.
In a Facebook post on 14 June, Madam Ho Ching outlines the presidency’s two key roles, warns against a ‘gimme-gimme syndrome’ among the electorate, and emphasizes the need for a President who is courageous, integrous, and capable of making unpopular decisions.

He asked whether any part of her compensation was clawed back and emphasized the public’s right to know details of her remuneration. Temasek had made the FTX investment across two rounds from October 2021 to January 2022, partly during Ho’s tenure.
