Temasek Foundation
Temasek Foundation (TF) partners Singapore and international institutions
to support the building of institutions, human capacity, exchange and
learning networks, and the rebuilding of lives after major natural disasters.
TF has committed almost S$100 million over the last fi ve years to support
139 programmes in 17 countries in Asia, and Rwanda. These ranged
from training in healthcare, education, public management and disaster
preparedness to the promotion of exchanges for students, journalists and
other professionals.
One example of public management training is the programme for senior
offi cials in the area of transportation planning and management in Danang,
Vietnam. Lessons from Singapore’s experience in transportation planning
will assist the Vietnamese offi cials to tailor their local urban transportation
development plans.
Another example is the interest of Mathla’ul Anwar in Indonesia to set up
a model Islamic school for its network of over 900 madrasahs (non-boarding
Islamic schools) in western Java. TF partnered Madrasah Al-Irsyad Al-Islamiah
in Singapore to train Mathla’ul Anwar educators in curriculum development
and pedagogy, and share best practices to develop the new school, which
Mathla’ul Anwar could then adapt for Indonesia’s needs.
Since 2007, TF’s Leadership Enrichment and Regional Networking
Programme enabled over 1,000 students from 47 cities in Asia to develop
a better appreciation of Asian socio-political issues.
