SINGAPORE: A new recipe book with contributions from Singapore’s top leaders hopes to raise S$650,000 for needy, elderly patients at Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

Launched on Thursday by Foreign Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam, ’The World on Your Plate’ is no ordinary culinary project.

It is the first time diplomats in Singapore are coming together for charity.

The book contains 84 well—loved dishes from around the world, submitted by ambassadors and consuls based in Singapore.

Representing Singapore is a mee rebus recipe contributed by Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s family.

The foreword was penned by President Tony Tan Keng Yam.
