Excellent results for Temasek. All the cost cutting initiatives have paid off. I won't be surprised these savings would be reduced maintenance, less training, reduced safety reviews and assessment etc.

And again similar to Saw, the profits have been coming from non-rail business. Ever wonder why the focus for both CEOs have been non-rail business.
