We are a global investment company with roots in Singapore, committed to creating value for generations to come.
The term Temasek, derived from the Malay word meaning lake or sea, appears frequently across historical texts like Tumasik, which was recorded as a vassal of the Majapahit Empire in 1365 Javanese literature; 淡马锡, or Tan-Ma-Si, noted by Wang Dayuan's account of his travel journey in 1349; and Sach-ma-tich documented Vietnamese records at the arrival of Malay emissaries in 1330.
Established as a practical experiment during Singapore's defining era as it navigated its place on the global stage following its tumultuous inception, Temasek was founded in 1974. Taking over an assortment of approximately 35 companies from Singapore's Minister for Finance at that time, our organization has since expanded and branched out across the globe, steadfast in our role as a long-term investor, always keeping future considerations in mind.
