Channel NewsAsia - Thursday, August 20
SINGAPORE: Temasek Holdings Chief Executive Officer Ho Ching has been ranked fifth in Forbes’ annual ranking of the World’s Most Powerful Women.
She is the only CEO of an Asia—based company in the top 10 list.
Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel clinched the number one spot for the fourth consecutive year.
According to Forbes, today’s women in power are rising to leadership positions in business, government and philanthropy by making daring and unconventional moves.
They are moving across companies and industries, making big leaps with each change, and repositioning themselves for opportunities that allow them to gain a breadth of experience.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp Chairman Sheila Bair is at number two after a year of being tested in unprecedented ways by the United States’ deepening economic crisis.
She is followed by Indra Nooyi of PepsiCo, and Anglo—American Chief Executive Cynthia Carroll.
US First Lady Michelle Obama debuts on the list this year at the 40th spot, alongside many notable newcomers to high—profile leadership positions.
Forbes’ rankings of the World’s Most Powerful Women are based on a combination of economic impact, media reach, and career accomplishments.

Life is good when you know who to open your legs to.
You can screw up the company by losing everything, but you still get to keep your job. That's the power of relationships.
The lees never stop to be in the limelight.

Are you related to "deepthroat" ?
You should know how connections work to cement relationships.
For the kind of peanuts paid that is surely more then her mate, it does not hurt the family to have more each and every month.
It is public money after all - from the spending of Singaporeans on all the essential and non-essential goods and services provided by Singapore Inc.

Dun think any board of directors in any company would allow her to lose 50 billions and still get to keep the job

It's not the number of hours put in, but the quality of work done, you can have lionnoisy working 24 hours a day and you still can't beat Einstein's 1 minute work.
Like what fanta said, so many hours put in, yet lose so much money in Temasek.
She didn't just commit one major error in Temasek, she committed two, first was buying at the wrong time, second was selling at the wrong time.
