The school SMK Dato' Bendahara C.M Yusuf in Tanjung Tualang, Batu Gajah, Perak is named after him.[2] A road in Ipoh was also named after him.
C.M. Yusuf received his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Oxford.[3] He was an Orang Besar (traditional positions of authority appointed by the royalty) in the state of Perak, having been conferred the title "Dato' Bendahara Perak" by the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Yusuf Izzuddin Shah, in 1959.[3][4]
Prior to being elected Speaker, C.M. Yusuf served important positions in the legislature of Malaysia.
