An “experiment born out of necessity”, which turned into “a company like no other”, celebrated 40 years of growing alongside Singapore on Monday.

Investment company Temasek Holdings is a Singapore institution which “epitomises (a) culture of constant hard work and ceaseless innovation to build for the future”, said President Tony Tan Keng Yam at the firm’s 40th anniversary dinner.

Held at the Istana, the event was attended by about 500 guests, including employees and chairmen past and present, key members of the business community, and international guests. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and other ministers were also in attendance.

Temasek turned 40 in June, but held its anniversary dinner on Monday night in conjunction with a slew of other high-profile events over the weekend, including The Singapore Summit conference and the Formula One night race.
