An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:

Saw the paper today that Temasek sold Intouch shares for $1.585b or 60.83 baht apiece after buying guide them at 49.25baht per share; seems to suggest that Temasek has make a profit from the investment. However a check on historical data show Temasek bought Shine Corp at US $1.88b.

"On Monday, 23 January 2006, the Shinawatra family sold its remaining 49.6% stake in Shin Corporation to two nominees of Temasek Holdings (Cedar Holdings and Aspen Holdings). The Shinawatra and Damapong (Potjaman's maiden name) families netted about 73 billion baht (about US$1.88 billion)."

In actual fact, $1b loss with today's exchange rate. More with the US-S $ exchange rate 10 years ago. Not to mention all the indirect and opportunity cost that will associate with the economic calculation.

Did the MSN try to portray a different story?
