via New Straits Times, 21 September 2022: Another feature of Prof. Zuraina Majid, recognised with a recent award for her work at the Lenggong Valley.
Siti Zuraina’s discoveries placed Malaysia on the global archaeological map.
The Merdeka Award Trust recently honoured the renowned historian with the prestigious Merdeka Award for her contributions in conjunction with its 15th anniversary.
Besides Siti Zuraina, five other recipients were recognised and celebrated this year for their exemplary efforts in fostering a culture of excellence and for their remarkable contribution to Malaysia and its people.
The Merdeka Award, supported by Petronas and Shell, recognises and rewards those who embody the spirit and heart of ‘Merdeka’ — individuals and organisations who epitomise perseverance, emerging with an enduring purpose to improve the prosperity and progress of our people, as well as the well-being of society at large.
