Separately, Temasek’s wholly-owned subsidiary ST Telemedia holds a 40 per cent stake in Indosat, the second-largest telco, through its subsidiary Asia Mobile Holdings.

Food - the ultimate weapon of the ruling elite

Either the current birth rates must come down more quickly. Or the current death rates must go up. There is no other way. There are, of course, many ways in which the death rates can go up. In a thermonuclear age, war can accomplish it very quickly and decisively. Famine and disease are nature’s ancient checks on population growth, and neither one has disappeared from the scene … To put it simply: Excessive population growth is the greatest single obstacle to the economic and social advancement of most of the societies in the developing world.” — Speech to the Club of Rome by Robert McNamara, Oct. 2, 1979 “Overpopulation and rapid demographic growth of Mexico is already today one of the major threats to the national security of the United State...
