The Singapore Prize is one of the world’s premier prizes, awarded annually at Singapore’s LIV golf tournament. Winners take home at minimum $270,000 with runners up receiving other awards; this tournament takes place between January and February each year; in 2014 Joaquin Niemann became its inaugural winner, becoming five-time PGA Tour winner as well as four-time LIV golf tournament champion!

The LIV golf tournament began in 1969 and remains Asia’s longest running national lottery game. Tickets originally cost just one dollar; later that year the second prize of $1 Million was added and determined by purchasing numbers at multiples of ticket price multipliers – unlike other lotteries around the world, Singapore Toto jackpot can be won without purchasing multiple tickets!

Toto has become increasingly popular due to the high chances of winning its grand prize. Singapore also gives away several smaller prizes every week; your odds of success increase when purchasing more lines and increasing the size of the pool.

Khir Johari’s lavishly illustrated book – The Food of the Singapore Malays: Gastronomic Travels Through the Archipelago – has won the triennial NUS Singapore History Prize 2024, besting books written in other languages to claim this prestigious award. Published over 14 years and weighing 3.2kg, its merit is judged on “scholarly and historical ambition beyond superficial impressions as a coffee table cookbook”.

NUS will expand the Singapore History Prize beginning in 2027 to incorporate non-book works that explore Singaporean history through forms other than books, such as documentaries, films, visual art installations, performing arts performances and installation art installations. The Arts and Multimedia category will be awarded for three years before transitioning back into Books category for 2029-2032 awards. NUS hopes this expansion of media demonstrates their dedication to developing an appreciation of Singapore’s past using accessible platforms.
