MOZAC Acronym
Sekolah Menengah Sains Muzaffar Syah is renowned for its catchy acronym, MOZAC. The history goes back to 1999 when the school was acknowledged as the best school in the country based on the 1998 SPM results. The current Prime Minister of Malaysia, then Education Minister, Dato' Seri Haji Mohamad Najib Razak, flew by a chopper and landed on the school field in order to announce the news. Due to the performance that year, the school was promoted to change its given name to Muzzafar College, which serves as the basis for the acronym MOZAC until today. Due to the fact that it is the only Science School in Melaka, the State Education Department however objected to the name change. Even though the school name was not changed, the acronym remains widely used.
The new principal, Tuan Haji Hassan Bin Topit, however, tried to alter the acronym to stand for "Muzaffar Zero Defect" under his school transformation program.
