The heir to the British throne, Prince William, arrived in Singapore this week, and his arrival was met with much excitement. He greeted the crowds at Changi airport, which was lit green to celebrate his visit. He also took a look at the Rain Vortex, the world’s largest indoor waterfall. The 57-year-old royal was on a solo trip, having visited Singapore with his wife in 2012.

This year’s winners of the SG Prize were announced this week, and there are some interesting new projects on the horizon. In the English literature category, two books shared the prize. Straits Times journalist Akshita Nanda won for her debut novel Nimita’s Place, which follows two women who navigate the expectations of family and society in India and Singapore. The other winning book was the archaeologist’s Singapore and the Silk Road of the Sea, 1300-1800.

There is also a new prize for music, which was awarded this week. The finalists of the Singapore International Violin Competition were Dmytro Udovychenko, Anna Agafia Egstroem, and Angela Sin Ying Chan. They will receive concert engagements and other prizes. The competition was held at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music.

The winners of the SG Prize were announced on Thursday. They were awarded $3,000, a trophy and a 12-month Storytel audiobook gift subscription. They were also invited to a special celebration at the National Museum of Singapore, which was also attended by Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Hsien Loong.

The new prize, named the SG History Prize, was inspired by an opinion column Prof Kishore Mahbubani wrote in April 2014. He called on philanthropists to donate money towards a prize for the best history book about Singapore. One such philanthropist responded a few months later, offering S$500,000 to the prize fund. The money was placed in an endowment fund, and the interest will be used to pay for the prize.

The winner of the first prize is Dr Irene Cheng from the University of Hong Kong for her work on a gene-editing technique that could help to prevent tumours from forming in the brain. This innovative method is potentially applicable to a wide range of cancers. The judges said that the winning entry was “an extremely exciting and ground-breaking research with the potential to transform our lives”.

This year’s finalists for the Hong Kong Post’s annual news writing awards have been named, with reporter Sammy Heung taking home top prize in the category of Best Science News Reporting, and production editor Matt Haldane and reporter Xinmei Shen picking up second and third place respectively. Hong Kong Post editor-in-chief Tammy Tam said: “This year’s winning entries demonstrate that our journalists are the best in the business, and the pride of this city.”

Founded by property and casino magnate Lui Che Woo, the LUI Che Woo Prize is awarded in three categories – sustainability; welfare betterment; and positive energy (or the promotion of a positive outlook on life) – with the theme changing each year. The prize carries a cash award of HK$20 million – more than double that of the Nobel prize – and is considered one of the richest awards in the world.

The Shaw Prize was established in 2002 by the late Run Run Shaw with the aim of “further societal progress, enhance quality of life and enrich humankind’s spiritual civilisation through recognition of exceptional achievements in astronomy, life science and medicine, and mathematical sciences.” It has become an international honour for outstanding scientific achievement and a great predictor of future Nobel laureates, with 12 of its previous winners going on to win the prize. The Shaw Laureates and their research journey will be showcased in an exhibition at the Hong Kong Science Museum, co-organised by the Shaw Prize Foundation.

The Olympic gold medalists for 2024 were announced this week, and Hong Kong’s athletes did well despite having a relatively small contingent in the competition. Two golds from swimmer Cheung and boxer Wong will help to boost the city’s profile at this year’s games. And while the top medallists may only receive a modest HK$750,000 for their achievement, it is worth remembering that the Hong Kong team has been putting in the long hours and spending their own money since the start of training in August. They deserve every penny of their rewards. And a special mention goes to the coaches who have been slogging it out with them along the way.
