FOR the first time in its history, Universiti Malaya awarded 12 of its former academics the coveted Emeritus Professor award – an honour bestowed on academics who have retired as professors and have served the university for at least seven years and who have made outstanding contributions to the nation and university.
In the 48 years since the university granted its first emeritus professor award in 1956, only 19 others have been conferred the honour. Among them were former UM vice-chancellors (VC) Royal Professor Ungku Aziz and Datuk Dr Taib Isman and renowned historian Datuk Dr Khoo Kay Kim.
