Tan Sri Mubin Sheppard

Tan Sri Mubin Sheppard (died 11 September 1994) was a historian of Malaysian cultural and heritage.

Tan Sri Mubin Sheppard was a founder member of Badan Warisan Malaysia and Sahabat Warisan Malaysia. Sahabat Warisan Malaysia (Friends of the Heritage of Malaysia Trust) was a society set up in 1984 to support Badan Warisan Malaysia in its objectives. The Mubin Sheppard Memorial Prize is a culmination of one of its fundraising efforts. In 1995 Sahabat was dissolved and its membership was merged with Badan Warisan's.

The late Tan Sri had a distinguished career serving both the Colonial and the Malaysian government. His deep love for history, culture and his fellow Malaysians is reflected in his founding of the National Archives, the National Museum and the Muslim Welfare Organization of Malaysia.

The Mubin Sheppard Memorial Prize was established to stimulate students awareness of Malaysia's cultural heritage. [ [http://www.badanwarisan.org.my/publications/1998_1999/msmp.php Badan Warisan Malaysia Heritage Trust web page, accessed October 11, 2006] ]
