In 2025, The Malay College Kuala Kangsar (MCKK) recorded a meaningful achievement when two Form Three twin brothers were given the opportunity to represent Malaysia at both national and international innovation competitions.
Their journey began at the Pertandingan Inovasi Sains, Teknologi dan Kejuruteraan (PISTEK) 2025, organised by the Ministry of Education Malaysia as the official selection platform for the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in the United States. After progressing through several stages of evaluation, the MCKK team was selected among the national finalists with their project, Last Chance Groceries—a mobile application designed to reduce food waste while supporting low-income communities.
This achievement enabled them to represent Malaysia at ISEF 2025, held in Columbus, Ohio, alongside nationally selected student innovators from over 75 countries. During the competition, their project received a Special Award from Oracle Academy, accompanied by a USD 5,000 cash prize. The award was conferred on only four teams worldwide, representing Malaysia (through MCKK), the United States, Singapore, and Puerto Rico.
This accomplishment highlights the importance of curiosity, perseverance, and social awareness in student learning, and reflects MCKK’s continued commitment to nurturing thoughtful individuals who apply knowledge in service of the wider community.
