    Best Thesis Award

    Tay Seow Huah Book Prize

    This book prize was established in December 2000 by the late Mr Tay Seow Huah’s children, Joanne Tay Siok Wan and Simon S C Tay, and a small group of relatives, friends and former colleagues, including His Excellency President S R Nathan, on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of Mr Tay’s death. Mr Tay was a senior civil servant who served at various times as Director of the Special Branch, Director of the Security and Intelligence Division, Permanent Secretary (Home Affairs) and Permanent Secretary (Defence), prior to his retirement in 1976. He was awarded the prestigious Meritorious Service Award in 1967, and the Eisenhower Fellowship in 1971. Mr Tay headed the government team dealing with Laju Hijacking in 1974. He died at the age of 47 in September 1980. The book prize was awarded to the graduating M.Sc. student, regardless of programme, who has written the best dissertation. No award will be made unless there is a candidate of sufficient merit.
