Old Boys Weekend 2008

The Old Boys Weekend ® 2008

The Malay College Kuala Kangsar

April 18-20, 2008

 

The Old Boys’ Weekend, or OBW® for short, is an annual homecoming event for the old boys of the Malay College Kuala Kangsar (MCKK).  The weekend is usually filled with games between the old boys and the students as well as teachers of the College.  There are also other activities such as a forum; career talks; a dinner and musical show; and other fares.  The old boys enjoyed the weekend (without their families) and re-lived their experiences during the school days years ago.  They played their favourite games, eat at their favourite joints, stayed at the old dormitories, and passed their times by telling old stories of their escapades during their times in College.  Those who have been to the OBW® will usually look forward to go to the next one!

Database of The Malay College Old Boys

We're making a good progress with our effort to consolidate the database of all The Malay College old boys. There are currently a total of 4,851 old boys in the database with 690 old boys have logged in at least once into the system. We are still waiting for the list from around 15 batches to complete the first phase of the exercise.

Our second phase shall concentrate on getting more old boys to access the system and update their online profiles, especially their location, industy and specialization fields. This would be very beneficial for us in improving our business and social networking.
