| Temasek Review 2011

The Singapore Millennium Foundation (SMF) continued to fund research in mental health, Parkinson’s disease, neuromuscular disease, bio-fuel, and liver cancer. To date, it has awarded more than 200 post graduate research scholarships.

SMF scholars continue to stand out in their fields. Dr Marissa Teo, a former SMF post-doctoral fellow, became the first Singaporean recipient of the UNESCO-L’Oréal for Women in Science International Fellowship.

SMF continues to sponsor the Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize. The 2010 award went to the Yellow River Conservancy Commission in China for its outstanding accomplishments in integrated river basin management that were unrivalled in scale. It joined previous Water Prize Laureates Dr Andrew Benedek of Canada and Professor Gatze Lettinga of the Netherlands.
