Outstanding Scholars
Ding Zu Ning was a former student of SMJK Ave Maria Convent, Ipoh who top-scored with 11As in the 2007 SPM examination. She joined the A-Level programme at MCKL in January 2008 on a full Merit Scholarship. Zu Ning has always been very active in clubs and sports activities and took part in numerous competitions since her secondary school years. She continued her active involvement in student and community service activities at MCKL while excelling in her studies.

One aspect of the college which Zu Ning truly appreciates is the small size of the classes. This enables lecturers and staff to provide personalised attention and to motivate each one to achieve their potential and discover their unique talents. Friendships are formed and students give each other support to excel academically and in life.

She said, “Looking back on my one and a half years, I can say its small building and small student population belies its excellence. My lecturers were wonderful teachers who bonded well with us students and Datin Nadarajah has been a great help in university applications. The strong CF is a unique feature of MCKL. My college experience would not have been as colourful otherwise. I hope those bonds of friendship formed through camp and other CF activities will last the test of time.”

Zu Ning has received admission offers from City University, UK and Drake University, US together with the Drake Presidential Scholarship to study Actuarial Science.

Jonathan Chew joined MCKL after finishing his secondary school education at Sri Sempurna Secondary School, KL where he obtained 13As in the 2007 SPM examination. He took an active part in extra-curricular activities and was the winner of the 2007 National SPM Bible Knowledge Quiz. He was awarded a full Merit Scholarship to do his A-Level studies in MCKL.

Jonathan’s lecturers attribute his success to his diligence and perseverance. Jonathan is a highly motivated student, has a pleasant personality and exudes confidence in all that he does. From the various admission offers to foreign and local universities, Jonathan selected the International Medical University (IMU), Malaysia. He is currently reading for his medical degree and has set his heart on becoming a doctor.
