The Malay College Kuala Kangsar (MCKK) beams with pride as we celebrate an extraordinary milestone—an achievement born from courage, conviction, and commitment. At the 17th Asia Youth International Model United Nations (AYIMUN), held from May 2–5, 2025, in the bustling city of Bangkok, Thailand, a single student stood tall—not just for himself, but for the College, for the nation, and for a generation of future changemakers.

What does it take to shine on the international stage? Confidence, clarity, and character. These were the very traits our sole delegate carried with him as he represented France in the UNICEF Council, engaging in high-stakes debate on the pressing topic of “The Importance of Informal Education in 2025.” Armed with rigorous research, refined diplomacy, and a readiness to listen, he held his ground, spoke with purpose, and negotiated with heart. The dais was impressed, fellow delegates were moved, and his message—bold, balanced, and beautifully delivered—earned him the prestigious Verbal Commendation Award, a symbol of excellence and eloquence in a sea of over 600 participants from more than 50 nations.

And what makes this even more inspiring? He was only 15 years old—a Form 3 student competing alongside university-level participants aged up to 25. The youngest in his council. One of only two Malaysians to receive an award. One voice among many, but a voice that made waves. Is this not the very spirit of MCKK? To rise against the odds, to lead with intellect, and to speak for others when it matters most?

This triumph is more than just a personal victory—it is a powerful testament to the College’s enduring mission: to nurture leaders who are globally aware, academically driven, and morally grounded. It places MCKK firmly on the international MUN map and reaffirms our role as a training ground for diplomats, dreamers, and doers. To our remarkable delegate—we salute your bravery, your brilliance, and your belief in making a difference. You carried our crest across borders, across minds, and into hearts. And for that, we are not just proud—we are profoundly honoured.

We are pleased to announce that applications are now open for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme at The Malay College Kuala Kangsar.

The July 2025 intake (Cohort 2025/2027) welcomes applications from both male and female students who are eager to pursue a globally recognised pre-university qualification in a dynamic and supportive learning environment.

The Malay College Kuala Kangsar (MCKK) proudly celebrates yet another historic milestone as our innovation team earns the honour of representing Malaysia at the prestigious Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) 2025. This global competition will take place from May 10 to 16, 2025, in Columbus, Ohio, United States.

From May 10 to 16, 2025, top STEM students from around the world will gather in Columbus, Ohio, for the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF)—the world’s largest and most prestigious international STEM research competition for high school students. ISEF brings together more than 1,600 brilliant young innovators from over 75 countries each year, providing a platform for students to present original research and compete for nearly USD 9 million in prizes, scholarships, and internships across 22 STEM disciplines.

Our journey to ISEF began with our participation in the Pertandingan Inovasi Sains, Teknologi dan Kejuruteraan (PISTEK) 2025, Malaysia’s sole official affiliate competition recognised by ISEF USA. Held at Multimedia University (MMU), Cyberjaya, from February 3 to 6, 2025, PISTEK 2025 brought together the top 30 teams, selected through a rigorous two-stage evaluation by a Scientific Review Committee from among hundreds of research proposals submitted by secondary school teams across Malaysia. Representing MCKK, our team secured an outstanding 4th place, positioning us among the nation’s top 6 teams and earning full sponsorship from the Ministry of Education Malaysia to represent the country on the world stage.

At ISEF 2025, MCKK will present Last Chance Groceries, an innovative mobile application designed to tackle two pressing issues: grocery waste and food insecurity among Malaysia’s B40 communities. The app connects consumers with surplus groceries nearing expiry at discounted prices, while also facilitating food donations and supporting recycling initiatives—aligning with circular economy principles. This remarkable project was developed by two Form 3 students from MCKK.

In recognition of this outstanding achievement, a special ceremony was held on April 28, 2025, by the Perak State Education Department. During the event, certificates of appreciation were presented by the Director of Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri Perak to honour their success in representing Malaysia at ISEF 2025.

The MCKK contingent has displayed remarkable determination and impressive achievements at the 2025 MSSD Cross Country Championship. In the team categories, the Under-15 team emerged as champions, while the Under-18 team secured third place—an outstanding result that reflects the athletes’ teamwork and resilience in this demanding sport.

The success was further highlighted by strong individual performances. In the Under-18 category, five runners finished among the top 25, with one achieving an impressive fourth place. Meanwhile, in the Under-15 category, five runners also placed within the top 15, with two of them earning spots on the podium as second and third-place winners.

These accomplishments are a testament to the athletes’ hard work, discipline, and unwavering spirit. May this success serve as motivation to continue striving for excellence in future competitions.

Well done and keep the fire burning!
