PETALING JAYA: Malaysians bade farewell to the late Stephen Hawking, considered to be one of the greatest theoretical physicists ever, paying tribute to his tenacity in overcoming adversity and for sparking their imagination.
Datuk Dr Mazlan Othman, Malaysia’s first astrophysicist, said Hawking was one of the most influential cosmologists when it came to reaching out to the public’s imagination and curiosity.
