Why is it important?

Hamidin will always be remembered for his contributions and legacy in advancing African Studies in Malaysia.

Perspectives

To colleagues, former students, supervisees, and known associates and academic networks within and outside the circle of History, African Studies, Leadership, and Malaysian elections, his presence is always felt. We are always honoured to know his excellent works in many impactful ways. As part of this attribute to the late Dr Hamidin, the rest of this research note provides updates on current trends in Malaysia-Africa relations and African Studies at Universiti Malaya and in Malaysia generally. We also would like to express our sincere gratitude to SINERGI's Editor-in-Chief, and the rest of her editorial team, UKM Press, and SPHEA, UKM for providing us with the opportunity to share our views on research in Africa-Malaysia relations.
