A highly respected political scientist, educator and scholar,

Prof Ratnam had nurtured many generations of leaders in both the public and private spheres in Asia and beyond. He had served as Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Head of the Department of Political Science at the University of Singapore, contributing significantly to education and research as a pioneering faculty member before continuing an illustrious academic career at Universiti Sains Malaysia. Prof Ratnam will be dearly missed by generations of social sciences students who fondly remember his passion for scholarship, excellence in teaching, and generous giving of his time to nurture and inspire young minds. He was also greatly admired by the academic community for his dedication to rigorous research and unwavering pursuit of intellectual discourse. His legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of many.
