MCKL College (Penang, Pykett Campus) Celebrates Students’ Achievements in Kuiz Kimia Kebangsaan Malaysia (K3M) 2025 

MCKL College (Penang, Pykett Campus) proudly celebrates the achievements of our students in Kuiz Kimia Kebangsaan Malaysia (K₃M) 2025, a prestigious national-level Chemistry competition. 

K₃M is an annual Chemistry quiz organised by Institut Kimia Malaysia (IKM) in collaboration with participating schools nationwide. Open to upper secondary and pre-university students across Malaysia, the competition aims to assess students’ understanding of Chemistry, cultivate interest in the subject and promote excellence in Chemistry education. 

Participants are recognised based on their performance, with students scoring 90 – 100 marks receiving the Cemerlang Award, those scoring 70 – 88.5 marks awarded the Kepujian Award, and those scoring 50 – 68.5 marks receiving the Merit Award. 

A major highlight of K₃M is the distinguished Top Scorer Award, presented to students with the highest scores nationwide. These top scorers are shortlisted for training and participation in the International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO). 

MCKL College (Penang, Pykett Campus) has an outstanding track record in this competition. Our students, Wong Ching Shuen and Khoo Jing Shan, achieved the prestigious Top Scorer Award in 2023 and 2024, respectively. This honour is awarded to only a small group of the nation’s best students, with just 5 recipients in 2023 and 6 in 2024. Both students were invited to attend Malam Kimia and received a certificate along with a cash prize of RM 300 for their exceptional performance. 

In 2025, our students continued to shine with a total of 18 award recipients: 3 Kepujian Awards and 15 Merit Awards. To celebrate this achievement, an Awards Ceremony was held at the MCKL Pykett Campus. Certificates and awards were presented by Dr Gerard Boey, Principal of MCKL College, to the students and their teacher advisor, Ms Tan Zhi Ning. 

MCKL College remains committed to nurturing excellence in STEM education and empowering our students to reach national and international platforms through academic excellence and passion for learning.
