THE WINDS OF CHANGE IN THE SEVENTIES : THE EXPERIMENTAL YEARS
The MCKK, once distinctly class-elitism, continued to take in boys from all social strata in the seventies. The hiatus in the intake of first formers in 1969-1971 was seen as detrimental to the progress of the college and it was revived back in 1972. – with the emergence of the so called “thoroughbreds ( a tag coined by the HM Mr Nordin Nasir in 1974);- a label to indicate a collegian being thoroughly bred and going through the whole mill of MCKK system as was practiced and hoped by the Old Boys. In the seventies, students entered the college at three levels – Form One (retake in 1972), Form Four and Lower Six. Seldom did students come in at any other stage, except perhaps in much earlier days when there were provisions even for primary schooling The Examination Syndicate did the selection for entry based on the results of the Standard Five Assessment Examinations, The LCE/SPM and the MCE/SPM. The college used to get the best English medium Malay boys in the country in the sixties and early seventies, so called crème-de-le crème’. Then when the education system abolished English medium in 1973, the college got the best National medium Malay boys in the country. That was in the seventies and sadly, now no more.

.."..I think that I shall never see. A poem lovely as a Big tree. A tree whose lifeline 'secukup rasa'. Against the Kuale's sweet 'angin sepoi2 bahasa'. A Tree that looks at MC all day. And lifts her leafy arms to pray. A tree that may in sunshine wear. A nest of terkukur in her hair; Upon her bosom budak kolet has lain. Who ultimately has wisdom gain. Poems are made by people but Allah can make a Big Tree..."

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim
Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Segala puji tertentu bagi ALLAH Subhanahu Wata’ala yang memiliki dan menguasai segala yang ada di langit dan yang ada di bumi, dan bagi Nya (pula) segala puji di akhirat, dan Dialah saja Yang Maha Bijaksana, lagi Maha Mendalam pengetahuan Nya.[1] Hamba-Mu ini, dengan hati yang bening – ingatan yang hening, melafazkan seikhlas tutur dari denyut nadi – menzahirkan setulus kalam dari pancaran hati, kalimah kesyukuran yang setinggi-tingginya atas anugerah rahmat dari Mu jua Ya ALLAH, mengangkatkan martabat Hamba-Mu ini untuk menyempurnakan satu tanggung jawab fardu kifayah di pagi ini. Dengan segala kerendahan sifat – kelemahan kudrat, hamba-Mu mohon mendapat petunjuk dan panduan dari Mu jua.
2. Selawat dan kesejahteraan ke atas Junjungan Besar, Nabi Muhammad Sallallahu Alai Wassalam, semulia-mulia kejadian. Demikian juga ke atas keluarga dan para sahabat Baginda yang merupakan bintang-bintang penunjuk mencernakan cahaya, seterusnya ke atas sekalian para Tabiin dan para ulama yang berperanan sebagai penyuluh daripada kegelapan. Semoga memperoleh ihsan daripada ALLAH Subhanahu Wata’ala sehingga ke hari kebangkitan.
“ WALLAHI, WABILLAHI, WATALLAHI
Maka dengan lafaz ini berikrarlah kami dengan sesungguhnya dan dengan sebenarnya mengaku akan taat setia pada menjalankan dengan adilnya pemerintahan bagi Malaysia dengan mengikut sebagaimana Undang-undang dan Perlembagaan Negeri yang telah disah dan dimasyhurkan dan yang akan disah dan dimasyhurkan di masa hadapan ini. Dan lagi kami berikrar mengaku dengan sesungguhnya dan dengan sebenarnya memeliharakan pada setiap masa Agama Islam dan berdiri tetap atas pemerintahan yang adil dan aman di dalam negeri.”[2]
3. Demikian lafaz ikrar sumpah jawatan Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Dipertuan Agong selaku Ketua Utama Negara. Status Ketua Utama Negara bukan sekadar simbol hiasan. Status Ketua Agama Negara menuntut kepada penyempurnaan tanggung jawab besar memenuhi amanah. Terkandung lima kata kunci dalam sumpah jawatan tersebut; ia itu: Undang-undang, Perlembagaan Negeri, Agama Islam, Adil dan Aman.

‘Malay Racialism and the Sufi Alternative’
Abg Zin,
My latest contribution to knowledge is attached: a book chapter 'Malay Racialism and the Sufi Alternative’, in Maznah Mohamad and Syed Muhd Khairudin Aljunied (eds.), Melayu: The Politics, Poetics and Paradoxes of Malayness, Singapore: National University ofSingapore Press, 2011, pp. 68-100. The book is fresh off the press for only about a week or so; see the attached flyer and also http://www.nus.edu.sg/nuspress/subjects/anthro/978-9971-69-555-2.html.
Issues touched in this book will be directly relevant to those in the minds of MCOBs sensitive to the plight of the Malays. The editor, Dr. Maznah Mohamad, formerly of USM and now at NUS, should be familiar to some as a commentator on issues regarding Malays. If you feel that the article is suitable to be blogged in MCOBA's website, please feel free to do so.
Admin Note:-
ASW Assoc Prof Ahmad Fauzi Ph.D ( Hi Adik ~ tertib orang Melayu: pangillan yang tua pada kita digelarkan Abang dan yang muda pula digelarkan Adik; kekadang diikutu dengan "honorifics". It's the same too for all civilized race. The Chinese will say, koko (abang), ceche (kakak) and we all do say " Nak nenen ke ?" atau kalau ibu yang tengah frust, ada juga yang tempik " FASTER DRINK YOUR NENEN (susu) OR I TELL YOUR PAPA WE DON'T GO TO TESCO NOW " -- Papa AU, KK dan MBA tenung tajam mata wifey lantas menyampuk "don't worry Honey, we will go out for dinner". Ehem ehem.
Sorry, I digress. Ahmad Fauzi C'86 is a frequent contributor to Mcoba.Org and Mcobs should read the book Melayu: The Politics, Poetics and Paradoxes of Malayness (see pdf attachment); in Chapter 3, a refreshing perspective on Malay Racialism and the Sufi Alternative.
"The war between the Muslims and non-Muslims was a war of ideals, as every war more or lees is, and whenever such a war occurred the dying and degenerate civilization had to go down before the superior ideals of life preached by Islam. "Say: my prayer, my sacrifice, my life and my death are for the sake of Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds." The Quran Vi (Al-An'am 162. -- wrote M.M.
