The real big loss that everyone seems to have forgotten, is that incurred by the Senior Minister when his ill-fated, joint venture, hi-tech park investment with the Chinese government crashed and burned five or six years back, post them pulling the plug on the "great helmsman's" astute business aspirations. No problems, the compliant Singapore taxpayer picked up the USD 30 billion tab and the whole thing was quietly forgotten (there being no opposition in Singapore!).
