How was Temasek started?

In 1974, Singapore made a bold decision to separate business from political interests, and established Temasek as a holding company for state-owned enterprises. This video transports you to its early days in the attic of the Fullerton Building, where a small group of officials oversaw a portfolio of 35 companies.

This episode explores how those first pivotal years set the stage for Temasek’s eventual transformation into a global investment company.
