TWELVE out of 15 'old boys' of the Malay College Kuala Kangsar did their alma mater proud when they emerged victorious in the recently concluded general election. Of the 15, nine were Umno candidates, five contested under the Pas banner and one from Parti Keadilan Rakyat.
However, not all of them were elated with their respective wins. Mohd Zahir Abdul Khalid, who won the Kamunting State seat in Perak, felt that it was a bittersweet victory for him.
"What disappoints me is that even though I won a seat, the Perak State Government will be formed by the opposition, not Barisan Nasional," he said. Mohd Zahir squeaked through with a 555 majority, defeating Pas' Muhamad Apardi Shaari.However, he is adamant that it would not deter him from performing his duties as an elected representative. The University Teknologi Petronas corporate services manager has already given up his job to focus on serving the Kamunting community. |

 IPOH 12 Mac – Kesibukan menjadi pendebat mewakili sekolah ke peringkat kebangsaan bukan alasan untuk Mohamad Amirul Asyraf Mohd. Hanaffi, 18, mengabaikan pelajaran.
Dia muncul antara pelajar terbaik negeri Perak apabila berjaya memperoleh 10 1A dalam Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) 2007. Pelajar Kolej Melayu Kuala Kangsar (MCKK) berasal dari Seberang Takir, Terengganu ini seorang pendebat yang hebat apabila berjaya membantu sekolahnya menjuarai Pertandingan Bahas Piala Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (UIAM) pada tahun lalu. |

 KUALA LUMPUR: The Malay College in Kuala Kangsar, Perak, is one of the nation’s most prominent boarding schools with a proud record of producing some of Malaysia’s most illustrious political and corporate leaders. Take this 12th national general election, for example.
There are at least 15 candidates who are former MCKK boys — nine are Umno candidates, five Pas and one from PKR whose non-contesting party adviser, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, was also an ex-student.
Weekend Mail spoke to two of them — Wan Abdul Hakim Wan Mokhtar and Mohd Za hir Abdul Khalid — both from the Class of ‘85, who said they were not surprised to see many former students in politics.
