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.

Affi liated with the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the Nanyang Technological University, TLL is headed by Emeritus Professor Chan Soh Ha from NUS. Its research initiatives are reviewed by an international Scientifi c Advisory Board and its Strategic Research Management Committee. In 2011, TLL published 59 papers in peer-reviewed journals and made fi ve discoveries including the specifi c Enterovirus 71 1 monoclonal antibodies which can be further developed as potential therapeutics. TLL continues to nurture scientifi c talent from around the world and provides opportunities for them to become leaders in their fi elds. Last year, TLL received S$10 million from the Singapore National Research Foundation (NRF) to embark on aquaculture research focusing on improving the productivity and quality of the Asian seabass and the marine tilapia. A joint TLL and NUS team was awarded another S$10 million research grant for rice research, and partnered the International Rice Research Institute to develop new and improved varieties which can better adapt to plant diseases and climatic changes. A third research grant of S$10 million from NRF was for developing platform technology for the fl avours and fragrances industry.
