The Temasek Foundation
Set up in May 2007, the Temasek Foundation has four focus areas across Asia:
• |
Develop people through health care, education and research; |
 |
• |
Build bridges between people; |
|
• |
Build institutions of excellence through good governance and ethics; and |
|
• |
Rebuild lives and livelihoods affected by natural disasters |
Education will be the Foundation’s primary focus, as it strives to uplift the opportunities for the younger generation. Exchange programmes will help build bridges to promote understanding and cooperation for mutual benefit among Asia’s diverse communities.
To help businesses flourish and communities prosper, the Foundation will also promote better governance and regulatory capabilities through sharing best practices in the region.
