They discuss Temasek's investment strategies over the past two decades, driven by globalization, macroeconomic factors, and thematic investing in Asia, the US, and Europe. Pillay also addresses the shift from public to private markets, highlighting the risks and opportunities in both, and emphasizes the importance of long-term partnerships to augment Temasek's skill sets. Finally, Pillay attributes Singapore's success to its founding fathers and the quality of its civil servants and politicians, who formulate policies that enable businesses to thrive.
