Singapore students bag top literature awards

Meridian Junior College student Nicole Kang, 19, was pipped to the 2009 Angus Ross Prize by Hwa Chong Institution's Lin Ruizi, but beat thousands of students worldwide to clinch the runner-up award.

The Angus Ross Prize is given out every year to the best-performing non-British candidate in the GCE A-Level English Literature examination.

Since Cambridge began awarding the prize in 1987, Singaporeans have clinched it almost every year, with students from Raffles Junior College dominating the winners in the last decade.
