MCKK on the World Robotics Stage

15 Dec 2025

The Malay College Kuala Kangsar continues its quiet tradition of excellence beyond the classroom and the field. Recently, two of its students, Shakeel Ariq bin Safry Ezan and Embry Ezzuddin bin Ezham, carried the MCKK crest onto the international robotics stage, representing Koleq with focus, discipline, and determination.

From 31 October to 2 November, the team competed in the Romania Robot Challenge, where they achieved a Top 8 finish in the demanding 3kg Remote Control (RC) category. Their performance there led to an invitation to the All Japan Robot Sumo Tournament (AJRST), held from 4 to 10 December, a competition recognised globally for its high standards and invitation-only format.

Throughout the competitions, the team demonstrated not only technical skill, but also composure and resilience in the face of strong international opposition. They were guided by Coach Mr Zulkarnain Abdullah Nawani of Ikedo Kogeki Malaysia, with the support of Cikgu Mohd Razif Abdul Razak, whose guidance and commitment played an important role in the team’s preparation and performance.

The Malay College Kuala Kangsar records its appreciation to the Headmaster, Mr Aimin Fadhlee bin Mahmud Zuhodi, and the Senior Assistant of Co-curricular, Mr Noor Ramdhan bin Ramli, for their consistent support and encouragement throughout this journey.

This achievement reflects the broader spirit of MCKK, where curiosity is nurtured, discipline is valued, and students are encouraged to test their abilities beyond familiar boundaries. It stands as a reminder that with guidance, perseverance, and purpose, our students are able to engage confidently on the international stage.
