Welcome to MCOBA Annual Dinner 2009!

This year MCOBA turns 80.

Eighty years ago, on Saturday 16 March 1929, some 150 Old Boys travelled to the royal town of Kuala Kangsar and gathered at the College for Hari Besar, the Big Day. This was the beginning of our tradition of Old Boys’ Weekend, a weekend of fun and frolic when men relive their boyhood at the College.

At this very first Old Boys’ Weekend, the Old Boys, beside High Tea and a football match, discussed and agreed to the formation of an Old Boys’ Association. Y.M. Raja Musa bin Raja Haji Bot of Selangor was elected the first President. This admirable gentleman was said to be the first Malay to read law in England in 1924 and the first non-British to become the Registrar of the Supreme Court in 1937.
