In
Malaysia, we too have public schools such as the Malay College Kuala
Kangsar (MCKK) and its sister college, Tunku Kurshiah in Seremban
and the Royal Military College (RMC) but they are owned and run by
the government. The Tuanku Jaafar school and the Saad Foundation School
in Malacca are run by the private sector. The Saad Foundation School
was started by an old Malay collegian, Tan Sri Halim Saad, the Chief
Executive Officer of Renong Corporation. Halim is an active member
of the Malay College Old Boys Association (MCOBA). His executive office
suite is just one floor below the MCOBA penthouse at Jalan Syed Putra,
Kuala Lumpur.
My
old school, MCKK, was founded in 1905 by the British for the children
of the Malay ruling class along the lines of Eton College. It is a
new institution compared to Eton which was founded in 1440 by King
Henry VI. MCKK has since been democratised and, as a result, its students
today are made up from every stream of bumiputra society.
Anxious
old boys are worried about their alma mater because it is just one
of the many residential schools in the country although it still remains
the premier one. There are today nearly 50 state-funded and privately-run
boarding institutions. The old boys want MCKK privatised but the government
has said that it cannot be privatised because it is a national treasure
and heritage.

The
demise of Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah marked the end of an era.
As a ruler can only hold the post of Yang Dipertuan Agong for a term,
it means that the Almarhum Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah was probably
the last of the alumni of the prestigious Malay College Kuala Kangsar
(MCKK) to become the Head of State for the country.
Dubbed
as 'the Eton of the East', the 96-year old institution was once the school
of Malay royalty and aristocracy. Currently, three state rulers, all former
Agongs, are also products of the Malay College namely Sultan Azlan Shah
of Perak, Sultan Ahmad Shah of Pahang and Tuanku Jaafar of Negeri Sembilan.
However,
after the Second World War, when the school was closed and turned into
a Japanese military headquarters, another of Malay College's famous old
boy, Dato' Onn Jaafar, the founding leader of UMNO, urged the British
administration to open MCKK to all Malays regardless of birth. It was
from this second era that other currently prominent personalities of the
country came from, and they can be found prominent in business, academic,
political and civil service circles.
