Dr Chua Ping Yong
Welcome to Methodist College Kuala Lumpur – a College where values and tradition meet excellence in education!
For 40 years, Methodist College Kuala Lumpur (MCKL) has been providing quality, holistic education in the best of Methodist tradition. Both our Kuala Lumpur campus and inaugural branch campus in Penang are well accessible and strategically located in the heart of the city.
MCKL provides a conducive environment for a purposeful learning experience. Our lecturers are well qualified and are highly regarded by students and alumni for their commitment and willingness to go beyond their ordinary call of duty. The close-knit community in MCKL promotes a thriving network for MCKL students, staff, and alumni from diverse backgrounds.
We live in a fast-changing world, with innovation across industries happening at lightning pace to cope with demands of the cyberworld and the Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR4.0) which has impacted societies, the workplace, and careers.
MCKL fully embraces the challenges and opportunities of educating and preparing students for further education, professional development, and job careers in the new IR4.0 environment. Future jobs will require the use of technology, cloud-based application systems and the ability to digitally collaborate and network with teams within and outside an organisation. At MCKL, we endeavour to embed these skills in the academic programmes and learning experiences of the students, in line with our wider vision of “MCKL 4.0: Excellence for Life” of providing a holistic education to produce well-rounded individuals.
An exemplary citizen is made, not born. MCKL continues to emphasise knowledge, skills and attitude through the curriculum offered. Students would be able to enhance their critical thinking skills and competency in their educational field leading to job security, allowing them the opportunity to elevate themselves academically and beyond in their further studies or the workforce.
At MCKL, we aim to nurture high-achieving individuals of calibre who will become passionate and compassionate leaders in society, by embedding the MCKL DNA in each student through various extra-curricular activities, community service learning and character formation.
Our wish is for students to undergo personal development that helps them define their objectives in life. It is our 10 Core Values that guide MCKL graduates to become positive agents of change – making significant contributions to others, their world, and those on the margins of society.
I urge you to venture into the opportunities at MCKL, which will open doors to endless possibilities.
I look forward to welcoming you to the MCKL campuses.
Sincerely,
Dr Chua Ping Yong
Chief Executive Officer
