CEO with a big heart.
Under Ms Ho, Temasek became increasingly transparent.
Despite being an exempt private company which does not need to disclose its numbers to anyone but its single shareholder (that is, the Singapore Government), Temasek started publishing its detailed annual report 16 years ago.
Anyone with time to go through a Bloomberg terminal can find out, to the nearest cent, the exact value of Temasek's investments, gains, losses and overall portfolio.
Ms Ho also ensured Temasek - and corporate Singapore - has a heart.
Using her bully pulpit, she prompted corporate Singapore to take on issues of environment, social responsibility and governance (ESG) seriously.
The establishment of Temasek Trust and Temasek Foundation as the organisation's philanthropic platforms to support public good and social causes was a clear signal to corporate Singapore, and especially the "big boys", about where their hearts should be.
