SINGAPORE state investor Temasek Holdings has set no deadline to find a candidate to replace former CEO-designate Charles "Chip" Goodyear, Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam said on Tuesday, August 18.

Tharman told Parliament the board of Temasek would continue to look for the right candidate to replace Goodyear, and that the government would not interfere in that decision.

"Ideally we should have a Singaporean ," he said in a reply to a question in Parliament but said the government would leave the decision to Temasek's board.

Temasek announced last month Goodyear would not become its CEO due to differences over strategy.
