SINGAPORE: A global environmental prize founded by Britain’s Prince William will hold its third annual awards ceremony in Singapore on Nov 7.
The Earthshot Prize, founded in 2020, is aimed at supporting innovative projects to tackle climate change and protect the planet.
Five winners will each be awarded £1 million (S$1.67 million) to help them scale their environmental solutions. The finalists will be announced later this year.
Announcing the destination of the 2023 awards on Monday (May 15), Prince William said: “The Earthshot Prize is all about showing the world that solutions to some of the biggest environmental challenges we face are out there.
“After two years of discovering impactful ideas and innovations, I am delighted that The Earthshot Prize is travelling to Singapore, where the ground-breaking solutions of our 2023 Finalists will be celebrated.”
The ceremony will feature performances by “world-renowned musicians and artists”, said organisers in a media release.
They added that for the first time, the awards ceremony will be accompanied by a series of events as part of Earthshot Week.
Global leaders, businesses and investors will travel to Singapore to explore opportunities with the winners and finalists.
“Southeast Asia is one of the regions of the world most affected by climate change, but in the face of significant environmental challenges, it is also a hub for innovators, entrepreneurs, community leaders and problem solvers who are committed to restoring our planet,” organisers added.
Still reeling from the effects of last year’s supply chain woes, energy disruptions and geopolitical tensions, financial markets are now also contending with the impact of consecutive interest rate hikes and uncertainty following recent banking turmoil.
While 2023 may not deliver the capital markets rebound we were all hoping for, it is worth pausing to recognise leading financial institutions that have forged through and made waves in these volatile times.
Marked progress and innovation across deals continues to demonstrate regeneration and resilience. After all, the goal posts have not changed: each of Asia’s markets is bound by net zero commitments; and digital transformation continues to drive regulatory discourse and development around emerging sectors and virtual assets. As a result, sustainability and digitisation continue to be underlying themes shaping a new paradigm for deal-making in the region.
The FinanceAsia team invited banks, brokers and ratings agencies to showcase their capabilities to support their clients as they navigated these uncertain economic times. Our awards process celebrates those institutions that showed determination to deliver desirable outcomes, through display of commercial and technical acumen.
This year marks the 27th iteration of our FinanceAsia awards and celebrates activity that has taken place within the past year (2022).
To reflect new trends, this year we introduced an award for Biggest ESG Impact (encompassing all three elements of ESG strategy) and updated our D&I award to include equity: Most Progressive DEI Strategy.
Read on for details of the winners for Southeast Asia. Full write-ups explaining the rationale behind winner selection will be published in the summer edition of the FinanceAsia magazine, with subsequent syndication online.
Congratulations to all of our winners!

A interview with Ms. Caith, a successful entrepreneur from Paris, and the two renowned medical experts from Nida Esth’ Medical Centre, Bangkok, Thailand
“A Personalised Beauty Concept” designed by Dr. Nida has won her so many international awards for many consecutive years from considerate editors of Hello Magazine of Thailand as the Most Trusted Cosmetic Surgery Centre & Leader in Aesthetic Laser Technology in 2022 to patients all over Asia who chose Nida Esth Medical Centre to be The Most Effective Facial Contouring Medical Centre’ for three years in a row by 168AsiaTopTen. The treatment plan and concepts that are different from others and are able to deliver extremely satisfying results unlike others makes Nida Esth’ Medical Centre the most visited beauty destination for aesthetic purposes in Bangkok, Thailand.
Today, we have the honour of featuring Ms. Caith, our newest patient, as our special guest. She is excited to share her experience with receiving a personalised beauty treatment plan that combined two of Nida Esth’s most prominent and unique treatment procedures, the 6D FaceLog Lunchtime Facelift and the ADSC Younger by Bio-Z-tem. However, the fact that Ms. Caith only has two days before her departure back to Paris presents Dr. Nida with the toughest obstacle, forcing her to precisely design a customised treatment plan that addresses both her aesthetic issues and her constrained schedule. Also, Ms. Caith has a dread of injections and all types of surgery. She especially demands that everything be painless and natural, which makes it challenging to select the ideal option for her.
Let’s explore the secret of a personalised beauty in this exclusive interview from here on.
Ms. CAITH:
“I started taking care of myself for a really long time ago and, seriously, when I turned 30 years old by adhering to a routine of exercises and nutritious diets, especially my facial skin by undergoing Therxxx and Ulthxxx treatments because they were the most well-liked skin tightening and reshaping technologies available at the time. I had been doing both treatments once a year for 5 years until now, and the results were generally wonderful. However, recently, I first started having bulges under my eyes so I decided to go for another Ulthxxx session. A few months later, however, I started noticing that my under eyes had apparently lost their volume, looking hollowed and aged. Furthermore, I began to see that my entire face was losing baby fat. Although it appeared tightened, it also had a very aging appearance, sadly.“
“Concerned, I started looking for other options that could solve my issues without using fillers, Botox or any kind of surgical approaches such as facelift because I believe it was unnatural and too risky for me. I was primarily seeking for stem-cell-based fat transfer therapies because I believed they might be the answer to my problems. I, then, came across a very informative article by Nida Esth’ Medical Centre titled “Unravel The True Secret to 10-Year Natural Facial Youth without Surgery by 6D FaceLog: LunchTime Face Lift” which explained the ‘descent’ and ‘deflation’ effects of the aging process and another useful article named “The Final Shortcut to 10-Year Facial Youth with Nano Fat Transfer,” which discussed about fat transfer using stem cells.”
“I was astounded by the explanation, which I believe explained why my skin began to sag and lost its firmness as well as my under eye problems. Also, I was surprised by the outcomes of the two technologies and was quite curious, so I made the decision to fly from Paris to Bangkok over the following few days in order to speak with both Dr. Nida and Dr. Piya directly to gain more information.”
Dr. NIDA:
“Ms. Caith’s main issues were drooping skin caused by changes in her facial structure brought on by aging process of descent and deflation effect, therefore I opted to suggest the 6D FaceLog program, which was able to deliver the results she desired and was non-surgical as she hoped. According to 6D FaceLog: Lunchtime Facelift, which I developed in response to my worries about aging signs including sagging skin and sunken cheeks brought on by descent and deflation effects, it is the real key to youth using a non-invasive technique. It is a non-invasive facial filling program that combines 6 Dimensional Inside-Out Therapy with SuperbTM (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) Technology, the most advanced lifting technology of the year 2022 approved by the US FDA. It helps end all skin problems from the inside out without any discomfort, surgery, or recovery time.”
“For Ms. Caith, I suggested the treatment plans that included Lift Face and Lock Youth programs. Those are combinations I developed for the 6D FaceLog: Lunchtime Facelift Program to totally and securely restore firmness and youth. It assists in resolving issues with sagging, loose skin, and an aged appearance brought on by descent and deflation effects, revealing smoothness and enhancing collagen synthesis.”
“Furthermore, the ‘Exclusive Personalised Beauty’ that I specifically developed can maintain firmness and youthfulness, produce fuller-looking lips, elevate lip corners, remove cheek grooves, widen eyes, and raise eyebrows for the results that are the tightest and firmest. Moreover, from the first treatment, jawlines will appear much more prominent.”
“However, since 6D FaceLog is unable to correct Ms. Caith’s hollows and lost volume under her eyes, I gave her to Dr. Piya, who does facial design utilising fat transfer from ADSC Younger therapy.”
Dr. PIYA:
“As ADSC Younger has been devised to last longer than traditional fat transfer method, I recommended it to fix Ms. Caith’s problem under her eyes that lost volume due to old tightening technologies and deflation effect in aging process. This program then incorporates my unique artistic style to expand on the traditional European surgical technique that I have learned to demonstrate results with no downtime based on the safety of using stem cells for facial youth or the patient’s own ADSC (Adipose-Derived Stem Cells) to repair and rejuvenate the face and aged skin with Bio-Z-tem Technology, the newest cell extraction technique that can restore youth in two steps:
– Bio-Contouring (Micro ADSC): it is the science of constructing a new dimension of facial contouring (facial dimensions) with ADSC that has passed a specific procedure of extraction and screening in a laboratory by trained cellular physicians until the alive ADSC and Micro-Fat Globule have been kept in order to fill the structure of the face and marvellously make it look younger.
– Bio-Filling (Nano ADSC): It is to “add Pure ADSC” stimulated by Low level laser for growth factor secretion from your body to the skin’s top layer in order to replace any lost or aged cells. It also strengthens the “cell-heals-cell process” to reverse and slow down aging without the use of non-surgical procedures by increasing the production of collagen and elastin at the cellular level.
“ADSC Younger is a state-of-the-art medical program that integrates surgical science, bio-cellular science, and a proprietary technique to modify the face and skin to look rejuvenated and naturally younger than the patient’s real age using Stem Cell for Facial Rejuvenation (Stem Cell Younger) or the patient’s own ADSC Stem Cell; this is a significant departure from traditional fat transfer to miraculously change the facial structure, rejuvenate, and restore youthfulness.”
“The pure stem cell for face youth (Stem Cell Younger) or ADSC stem cell, extracted by this exclusive technology, has been clinically analysed to be healthy and able to divide into new cells effectively and has been accepted with success by top medical journals on a global scale.”
Ms. CAITH:
“I was extremely pleased with the outcomes of the two treatments that Drs. Nida and Piya suggested. The procedure went smoothly and quickly. The 6D FaceLog was very revolutionary to me because, in contrast to other technologies I’ve used, it can tighten my face from inside my mouth, producing miraculous tightening and lifting effects. Also, the fat transfer with ADSC fully resolved my issues under my eyes. Since that it employs my own stem cells, which are not synthetic materials, the outcome is anticipated to last for many years.“
“6D FaceLog: LunchTime FaceLift” will result in a flawlessly youthful appearance in each of the face’s 6 dimensions. And, with the ADSC Younger, it transforms the history of facial surgery by making the face firm, youthful, and rejuvenating. According to the principle of auto-transplantation (using one’s own cells for transplantation), a face is given a new dimension that lasts for a very long time. Together, the two programs by the two most skilful doctors create the most amazing and satisfying result that no other could ever perform with the Exclusive Personalised Beauty’ specifically created to match each problem of each individual perfectly at Nida Esth’ Medical Centre only,”

US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo stated that she and the Biden administration would not be portrayed as bad on China in response to Republican senators’ pressure to censure Chinese cloud computing business:
She told the Senate Appropriations Committee,” I’ve put more than 200 Chinese businesses on the institution list during my tenure, and we’re constantly looking into new threats. If and when we decide that companies should be added to the list, I won’t bother.”
Eight Republican senators, including Senator Bill Hagerty( R-TN ), a ranking member of the Senate Banking Subcommittee on National Security and International Trade and Finance, wrote to Raimondo, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken on April 25 requesting that they take decisive action against Chinese cloud service providers like Baidu and Tencent, as well as Alibaba Cloud and Huawei Cloud.
According to” Open-source information ,” Huawei Cloud and PRC-based cloud computing services are directly undermining the interests of the US and our allies and partners in terms of national security and economic security. They are also increasingly interacting with foreign entities, some of which are sanctioned. & nbsp, We implore you to take decisive action against these companies through sanctions, export restrictions, investment bans, and further research into PRC cloud computing service companies.
The following payment is listed on Senator Hagerty’s site:
” The example we give in the text demonstrate the viability of China’s military-civil integration strategy.” It does make sense to refuse US exports of these nations given China’s laws, which require every Chinese citizen and company to participate in regional security or intelligence work, according to Hagerty. & nbsp,” Yet businesses like Alibaba Cloud that are not on the Entity List now have access to US technology, imports, and even activities here in the United States.”
Do you recognize that the PRC cloud service providers operating in the United States pose a danger to our national and our financial security, given the scope of China’s military legal fusion strategy and regional security-related laws? Hagerty questioned.
According to Secretary Raimondo,” I’m in wide agreement with you.”
The email continues by citing specific but well-known instances of the companies’ play with China’s military, security, and intelligence services, such as satellite imagery and regional monitoring. They do, however, mainly serve financial markets, much like US military legal fusion company Boeing.
For instance,” military civil fusion” is not a sinister Chinese plot; rather, it is based on common practice. Boeing declared in February that it had been” selected by the US Air Force as the prime contractor for the country’s intercontinental ballistic missile ( ICBM ) guidance subsystems support.” Over the course of 16 years, the contract could be worth up to$ 1.6 billion.
Alibaba Cloud is the biggest cloud service provider in China and the fourth-largest in the world. It offers services to the banking, e-commerce, logistics, and many industries around the world in the areas of repository, storage, data analytics, networking, application, security, etc.
The employment website indeed.com currently lists 30 positions at Alibaba in Sunnyvale, California, including software engineer, photonics expert, research scientist, and business manager, with annual pay ranging from$ 110,000 to$ 240,000.
According to Crunchbase, US technology providers have eliminated more than 135, 000 projects so far this year. Senator Hagerty and his associates likely want to do away with internships at Alibaba as well as the modern know-how they stand for.
The level of knowledge is very deep. For instance, a Ph.D. is required for applicants for the placement of optics professional. have in the construction, development, and production of golden optics chips for visual interconnects, as well as a d. degree in electrical engineering, applied science, or another related field.
Although Huawei Cloud is basically roughly half as big as Alibaba Cloud, it has been developing quickly. Huawei Cloud, as reported on its website, has received a number of qualifications and awards since being added to the Entity List in August 2020, including:
The initial cloud service provider in Asia-Pacific to receive PCI 3DS accreditation for regional transactions account information security as of August 2020.
The second cloud service provider to achieve information security management Standard 27799 certification in September 2020.
The British Standards Institution has awarded both the CSA STAR 2021 Gold Certification and the ISO / IEC 27034 application security standard certification.
Forrester Research has named him a president in predictive analytics and machine learning as of November 2020.
For its GaussDB registry products, which assist businesses in migrating data to the sky, Gartner has included it in its Magic Quadrant for Cloud Database Management Systems for December 2020.
One of the best four and the fastest-growing cloud service provider in Latin America, Canalys named it in March 2021.
May 2021- No. Ranked 1 in the IDC market for commercial cloud infrastructure in China.
Ranked No. December 2021 IDC ranks machine learning at number one in China’s public cloud system market.
More than 1,000 public staff, clientele, and business experts attended the Huawei Cloud Summit Middle East and Africa in Dubai in March 2022.
The meeting looked at how cloud computing can help with public services, financing, carriers, media, e-commerce, and gaming.
The second Huawei Cloud Indonesia Summit was held in Jakarta in September 2022 to discuss the electronic economy with local business leaders and scholars, business partners, and the internet.
With more than 60 products to be launched in areas like e-commerce, shorter video platforms, online gambling security, and finance, Indonesia became a new area for Huawei Cloud in November.
In order to create good town ideas, Huawei Cloud and BCB Blockchain of Singapore joined forces in November 2020.
The Huawei Cloud Accelerator, a system intended to support the growth of start-ups with the aid of venture entrepreneurs, was unveiled in September 2022 at the summit held by the Huang Cloud Global Startup Founders Summit. This program aims to empower businesses in Shenzhen.
According to the company, Huawei Cloud is now used by more than 800 public clouds in China. The bank’s” One City, One Cloud” approach has been put into practice in over 150 settlements, and it also powers over 300 financial institutions, including six major institutions.
E-commerce, financing, power, manufacturing, medicine, and gaming are a few other user industries. Huawei Cloud is present outside of China in the Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Europe. Being on the Entity List does not appear to be a serious issue, aside from not being able to work in the US.
May US politicians be able to punish some Chinese cloud service providers for their actions? Maybe. Even as they forced Oracle to cut its ties with Huawei, they may compel US businesses like Salesforce, IBM, VMware, and Fortinet to do the same with Alibaba Cloud.
Huawei created its own ERP application as a result, which it unveiled in April. If Alibaba Cloud were added to the Entity List, which is overseen by the Bureau of Industry and Security ( BIS ) of the Commerce Department, something similar would likely occur.
Being placed on the list can be a significant issue, but it also motivates the targeted business to exert more effort. It may be referred to as the BIS Certificate of Quality in the Global South and some regions of the world where US sanctions are truly recognized.

Fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra wrote on social media that now his seventh and youngest grandchild has been born, he will be back soon because at 73 years old, he wants to care of his grandchildren.
Thaksin on Monday morning wrote on Twitter that he was delighted with the news that his daughter Paetongtarn Shinawatra had just borne his seventh grandchild.
He added that all seven were born after he had to leave the country.
“I’d like to ask for permission to return to take care of the grandchildren because I will be 74 years old this July. See you soon,” Thaksin wrote.
Ms Paetongtarn, a prime ministerial candidate from the Pheu Thai Party, wrote on Instagram that her son was named Phruethasin Suksawat and his nickname was Thasin.
She thanked everyone for giving her moral support and said she would meet the press soon when she had recovered from labour.
On Oct 21, 2008, the Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions sentenced Thaksin to two years in jail, convicting him of violating the National Counter Corruption Act in the Ratchadaphisek land purchase case.
He was charged with abusing his authority while being prime minister when he gave consent to his then-wife Khunying Potjaman na Pombejra to participate in the auction of 33 rai of land on Thiam Ruam Mit Road in the Ratchadaphisek area put on the block by the Bank of Thailand’s Financial Institutions Development Fund.
He fled the country in 2008, just before the court handed down the sentence.
He jumped bail after attending the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games with his then-wife in Beijing in August 2008. The couple later divorced and she returned to Thailand.
Thaksin was stripped of his police lieutenant colonel rank in September 2015. The board of the Armed Forces Academies Preparatory School alumni also resolved to withdraw his alumnus achievement awards.
In 2019, His Majesty the King recalled the royal decorations bestowed on him.
In 2010 he told red-shirt protesters who supported him that he would return to join them when “the first bullet is fired” at them. Bullets were then fired.
