Song
The song is sung by the students in the Great Hall every week at the start of each assembly.
Midst Malaysia's verdant Uplands
Stands a college built for all
Education is its mission
Scholarship its clarion call
Knowledge is the key to freedom
Study is the road to truth
We shall strive to serve our nation
As leaders of Malaysia's youth
Kesukaran diatasi
Kami kan bersatu hati
Menuju puncak jaya
Membela cita semua
Marilah kita berusaha
Tegakkan kebenaran
Demi bangsa dan negara
Kami sanjung setiap masa

Famous quotes containing the word song:
“To you, God the Singer, our voices we raise,
to you Song Incarnate, we give all our praise,
to you, Holy Spirit, our life and our breath,
be glory for ever, through life and through death.”
—Peter Davison (20th century)
“There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist’s relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist’s concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Half of my life is gone, and I have let
The years slip from me and have not fulfilled
The aspiration of my youth, to build
Some tower of song with lofty parapet.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
