Honouring Dato Dr. Zulfigar Yasin: Champion of Our Oceans

Today, we pay tribute to the remarkable life of Prof. Dato Dr. Zulfigar Yasin, who passed away on the 3rd of February, 2025. Prof. Zul was the Head of the Heritage and Urban Studies Programme of Penang Institute. He was a distinguished marine biologist whose dedication to marine conservation had profoundly impacted Malaysia and the world around us.

Prof. Zulfigar was instrumental in pioneering studies on biodiversity, coral reefs, and ...coastal ecosystems. His leadership in the establishment of the Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies (Cemacs) at Universiti Sains Malaysia provided a foundation for critical marine research.
He was deeply concerned about water security in Penang, highlighting the challenges posed by limited water resources and the need for sustainable management.

Let us honor his legacy by committing to responsible stewardship of our water resources. May his passion inspire us to protect and preserve our environment for future generations.
Rest in peace, Prof. Zulfigar. Your contributions will continue to guide and inspire.
