GIC will be cautious: MM Lee
KUALA LUMPUR - THE chairman of the Government of Singapore Investment Corp (GIC), the city-state's biggest sovereign wealth fund, said on Monday the fund will be cautious and take few risks.

His comments came after the country's other sovereign fund Temasek saw big losses on its investments in Western banks.

'GIC will be cautious, low risk,' said MM Lee Kuan Yew in a discussion at an aviation meeting in Malaysia.

Temasek's new American chief Chip Goodyear - who takes over from Ms Ho Ching - would, however, 'seize opportunities', said Mr Lee. -- THOMSON REUTERS
