  1. What the video did NOT mention is the EPIC LOSSES TH had suffered like LOSING US$4.6 billion over its US$5.9 BILLION Merrill Lynch which TH had sold @ the bottom of the mkt @ around US47.8 per share – now trading around US$40 per share; nor it being stuck with holding StanChart which it acquired from the Khoo Teck Puat estate's 12.5% @ around 1550 pence & is now trading around 800 pence, having dropped below 400 pence & that TH had increased its shareholdings of StanChart to about 20% @ higher prices, altho there had been a few rights issue @ lower prices from 1550 pence. The pound sterling was around $3.06 while its is now around 1.72……….TH could NOT sell its stake in certain port assets even after more than 6 months on the mkt, which it bought in 2005 & 2006…..talking about "LONG-TERM" investments. The list of FAILURES continue……..take the opening of the Paris office as another eg: the French CAC 40 exceeded 8000 but is now around 7400………even for its investments in India, there is NO report as to the GAINS, if any, or losses while the Indian rupee has DECLINED over the years………….oh, TH could NOT sell 40% of its holding of the old economy brick & mortar unlisted subsidiary of CK Holdings, AJ Watson, in 2014 for a total of HK$44 billion even when it was on the mkt for around 11 months……….oh UNSURPRISING that TH completely LOST US$275 million over FTX plus having to face class action from US investors…
