IPOH, May 28 — Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu said that the country is indebted to the contributions of the late Professor Emeritus Tan Sri Khoo Kay Kim, especially in the education and development sectors.

“Khoo’s death is a big loss for the country and his contribution will be remembered forever,” he said in a statement. Khoo began his career at the University of Malaya, which lasted over 50 years. He officially retired in 1997, but continued to have an office in the university’s History Department in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.

The state Communications, Multimedia, Non-Governmental Organisation and Cooperatives Development committee chairman pointed out Khoo as having been party to help draft the Rukun Negara after the violent 1969 racial riots.
