The heir to the British throne, Britain’s Prince William, joined celebrity presenters like Donnie Yen and South African actress Nomzano Mbatha at the third Earthshot Prize Awards Ceremony in Singapore on Tuesday. The event is dedicated to amplifying innovative solutions and technologies that fight climate change. At the star-studded awards ceremony, five winners were unveiled in areas ranging from food waste to making electric car batteries more efficient. The prince told guests at the theater in state-owned Media Corp that the solutions presented that night “prove that hope does exist” as devastating climate change takes hold.

The best English book on Singapore history was awarded to National University of Singapore professor emeritus Peter Ellinger for Down Memory Lane: Peter Ellinger’s Memoirs (2023). The judges called it “a monumental undertaking” that weaves together personal, political and historical events in a seamless fashion.

NUS historian Kishore Mahbubani praised the finalists and said they had “contributed to our understanding of Singapore’s place in world history.” He said the prize’s objective is to stimulate engagement with Singaporean history broadly understood, and it casts a wide net for consideration of works dealing with Singapore’s past.

This year, the Singapore Literature Prize was expanded to include a consumer choice award for books that are voted on by the public. In the new category, the winners are Ali bin Salim, Daryl Qilin Yam, Pan Zheng Lei (Pan Cheng Lui), and rma cureess (Rama Sureesh). More than 4,000 people voted in this round of reader’s choice voting, roughly double last year’s cohort.

For the 2024 award, the judges said they were impressed by the quality and diversity of the shortlisted titles. They hailed the work of the authors, editors and publishers, and called for more Singaporeans to engage with these publications. The winners were selected from works in Chinese, Tamil, Malay, and English.

The TOTO prize, which was first launched in 1968, is the oldest of Singapore Pools’ lotteries. It was the first lottery game in Asia to introduce a snowballing feature where the prize grows as no winners are drawn and was also the first to offer a System Entry option.

In the TOTO lottery, players choose numbers from a field of 52. The odds of winning the top prize are 1 in 63,580. The prize amounts vary by the type of ticket purchased and the draw date.

The Harvard Prize Book is a showcase of caring acts carried out by pre-tertiary students in the country, and it is meant to inspire them with the idea that Harvard is an attainable institution for them. In the spirit of this, the winner Muhammad Dinie from ITE College Central led a team that drove around Ang Mo Kio estate during the Covid-19 pandemic to hand out packs of groceries and thank-you cards to Town Council cleaners. The winner will receive a monetary prize and a special trophy. Other finalists will be invited to attend an awards ceremony in November.
