The Convergence is pleased to announce the winners of the NUSPA Book Prize 2019. We thank the students who have written on interesting and thought-provoking topics on potential challenges or perspectives regarding Singapore’s future. The judges were impressed by the many outstanding entries that met the requirements, and selected the top two winners of the NUSPA Book Prize 2019. The first runner up goes to Mohamed Fayyaz, who shared his perspectives on Islamophobia in Singapore. The winner of the NUSPA Book Prize 2019 goes to Saddiq Basha for his excellent contribution on Singapore’s development as a one-party dominant state. Please stay tuned for the full essays written by Fayyaz and Saddiq, due to be published over the next few weeks. The Convergence would also like to take the opportunity to thank Global-is-Asian for their support, and we hope to have more future collaborations when organising the subsequent runs of the NUSPA Book Prize in the year ahead.
