Cambodian genocide survivor among six honoured in Ramon Magsaysay Awards

(31 Aug 2018) Six people have been honoured as this year's winners of the Ramon Magsaysay Awards, known as Asia's version of the Nobel Prize. Among the six winners was Youk Chhang, a Cambodian genocide survivor who helped document Khmer Rouge atrocities and Bharat Vatwani, an Indian psychiatrist who led the rescue of thousands of people suffering from mental health issues and living in poverty. The others who received the prize at a ceremony in Manila were Howard Dee, from the Philippines, who led peace talks with communist insurgents, Vo Thi Huang Yen from Vietnam who suffered from polio and fought discrimination against people with disabilities, Maria de Lourdes Martins Cruz from East Timor who built care centres for the poor and Sonam Wangchuk, from India, who tutored village students to help them pass exams. The awards, which were announced last month, are named after a Philippine president who died in a 1957 plane crash.
