For the girls who experienced the College, this book is redolent of their teenage years, far from family yet grown into another family, providing the foundation for the realisation of potential towards a lifetime of achievements

For those outside the College, this is a window to the magical intricacies of life within the MGC / TKC fold, in the creation of impactful personalities for society

For the young girls at the College, this book should be a beacon, of the legacy of MGC/TKC; the ‘to be’ of the quintessential Malay lady.

Tunku Kurshiah College remains as the premier residential school in Malaysia for Malay girls to receive educations and be developed to best serve “Agama, Bangsa dan Negara”.
