Bear Stearns

Dear Mr. Tan,
Did the Singapore Government invest in Bear Stearns?

REPLY
I recall that GIC and Temasek invested in UBS, Citigroup and Merrill Lynch. I do not recall that they invested in Bear Stearns.

  2. Public money should never be used to bailed out commercial entities, directly or indirectly. The governments of these countries are out of control.

  3. Knowing how cheap Bear becomes really made me ... The financial markets is so dynamic.

  4. I remembered Warren Buffett denied interest in Bear. So do he really buy?
