The life of Marina Yusoff, a pioneering figure in Malaysian law and politics, came to a peaceful close yesterday as she passed away in Kuala Lumpur at age 92. Known to the public as the mother of acclaimed actor Ida Nerina, Marina was a formidable force in her own right—a former lawyer and entrepreneur whose convictions shaped the nation’s political landscape.
Her career was marked by a relentless fighting spirit. From her time as a Wanita Umno exco member to co-founding Semangat 46 with Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, she was never afraid of change.
