Recently, Meta's large-scale investment in Singapore has attracted attention, and the logic behind this deal is interesting. Earlier, the projects in Wuhan seemed to have not been fully valued by local capital, and both Temasek and GIC, the two Singaporean sovereign funds, did not receive their fair share. Now, after Meta's shift to directly betting high prices in Singapore's backyard, it appears to be filling a market gap. The question is—what substantial benefits can Singapore's local economy gain from this large-scale entry of international tech capital? Is it industrial upgrading, job creation, or simply capital flow? Under this investment model, how will the discourse power of local governments and local capital change?

The feeling of Temasek and GIC being sidelined is indeed a bit awkward. Meta's move here is basically saying "I'll do it myself." Singapore's local capital should reflect on this, right?

Temasek and GIC have really been slapped in the face this time. Meta directly bypassed local capital to play the high-price game. What can local Singaporeans get... Probably the same old tricks.

meta's playing 4d chess here... temasek and gic got stonewalled on wuhan, now meta swoops in singapore's backyard throwing fat stacks. classic capital arbitrage tbh. locals gonna get jobs sure, but who really pockets the alpha? flow goes up, local govs flex a bit, then what? rinse repeat. watched this movie b4.

watched this play out, classic capital arbitrage move. meta sweeps in where local sovereigns fumbled—predictable vulnerability in the market structure tbh. but here's the thing nobody's asking: who actually eats when the music stops? sg gov gets some tax theater, locals get whatever crumbs left behind. textbook neo-colonial capital flow dressed up as "innovation ecosystem"

It’s truly funny that Temasek and GIC got cut off. Meta’s move clearly shows they’re ditching local Singaporean capital to play on their own.
