He passed away more than 20 years ago but so far, not many scholars have conducted studies on his works and the results currently available are still too insignificant compared with his achievements which are highly regarded by academicians in Malaysia and Singapore. This paper attempts to assess the contributions of Xu Yunqiao in the academic history of Malaysia and Singapore. Xu Yunqiao was a scholar of many talents and excelled in writing, editing, translation and interpretation of original text. His research works were comprehensive and profound. He was versatile as an academic scholar who could also write for the layman. He made relentless efforts in promoting academic research and establishing the paradigms of Nanyang Studies. He was also noted for his encouragement to young scholars. His perseverance in academic research, his love for his own culture and his spirit of nationalism are commendable and discussed briefly in this paper. Keywords: Xu
