Justice Judith Prakash, 72, was named the Her World Woman of the Year 2024 for her pioneering work in the legal field.
National sprinter Shanti Pereira, 28, received the Her World Young Woman Achiever 2024 award for her sporting achievements.
Justice Prakash is Singapore's first female Judge of Appeal, and was first appointed to the Supreme Court Bench in 1992.
In her 31 years on the bench, she authored about 645 judgments, more than half of which were selected for inclusion in law reports, due to their significance and valuable legal propositions.
The senior judge is also a renowned expert in commercial law. She played a role in the enactment of the International Arbitration Act 1994, which helped establish Singapore as a global arbitration hub.
In a statement, SPH Media - which publishes both Her World and The Straits Times - said she has paved the way for aspiring female lawyers to build their careers in the judiciary.
