Those involved in the field of conservation paid their tributes to him online, saying that the country had lost a legend in the field.

Lim, who was born in 1926, was awarded the Merdeka Award in 2013 for his contributions to the conservation of Malaysia’s biological diversity and for advocating the protection of our natural heritage.

He was the first person to be awarded a Doctorate of Philosophy by Universiti Sains Malaysia in 1977. “He is an outstanding zoologist and has made significant contributions to the conservation of Malaysia’s bio-diversity and the protection of our natural heritage, ” IMR said in a Facebook post.
