Pengiran Muhammad Yusuf bin Pengiran Haji Abdul Rahim (2 May 1923 – 11 April 2016), pen name Yura Halim, was a Bruneian nobleman, politician, civil servant, diplomat, and writer. He served as the Menteri Besar of Brunei from 1967 to 1972. He wrote the lyrics for Brunei's national anthem, "Allah Peliharakan Sultan," in 1947.[1] The song was adopted as the country's official national anthem in 1951, when it was still a British protectorate.[1] He was longtime member of the Legislative Council of Brunei, serving on the council until his death in 2016.[1][2]
