The book launch of "The Merlion and Mt. Fuji: 50 Years of Singapore-Japan Relations" by Dr Tai Wei Lim, co-organised by World Scientific Publishing, was held at JCC (Japan Creative Centre) on 14 December 2016. H.E. Kenji Shinoda and Mrs Yuko Shinoda graced the event. At the start of the book launch, H.E. Kenji Shinoda gave his opening remarks. Dr Tai Wei Lim also gave a short introduction of his book, and Mr Max Phua, Managing Director of World Scientific Publishing, gave his welcome remarks too. They proceeded to unveil the book cover, marking the official launch of the book.

World Scientific Publishing presented a copy of the book as a token of appreciation to H.E. Kenji Shinoda, and a commemorative token to Dr Tai Wei Lim. A copy of the book was presented to Director of JCC, Ms Misako Ito, as well, for her instrumental efforts in realising this book launch at JCC.

Afterwards, guests were free to mingle and some of them even received autographs from Dr Tai Wei Lim. We are delighted to have hosted this unique book launch dedicated to SJ50, as one of the last remaining commemorative events in this special year.
