Government of Singapore, Incorporated. A shadowy organization of men and women of all races, in non-descript, government-mandated black or grey suits.
Their net worth is unknown, modus operandi mysterious. GIC has recently pumped close to US$9billion into tanking Swiss bank Credit Suisse, in exchange for convertible notes.
GIC has started being more 'transparent' of late, showing the public some facets of itself.
"Oh ho! Your bank is failing, mate?" The Australian bank CEO was surprised at the shadow the man in grey suit and sunglasses cast over his supine body on the beach.
Despite the unseasonably hot weather, the man was barely perspiring.
"THE GIC is going to make you an offer you can't refuse..." the man said.
