  If majority stake owned by temasek, don't think it can be considered corporatised.... not by corporate standards....

  Apprently there is a difference between corporatised and privatised.
  
  I'm crossing my fingers and hoping this isnt a precursor to privatisation. We all know how that ended up.

  Actually. Privatising makes the cash cow fatter :p
  
  Think Temasek Holdings being the main Shareholder.
  
  And a Private Company is duty-bound to its shareholders to make money, very much unlike a government body.

  They would do that eventually. The Govt has a habit of corporatising and then privatising their little departments if it makes them money.
