The Malay College was first founded in 1905 with an enrollment of 50 pupils, mostly the sons of royalty to prepare them for administrative posts in the Government Civil Service.

In the 60th anniversary speech day celebration of the Malay College held at the Chin Wu stadium in Kuala Lumpur, Dato Dr Haji Megat Khas bin Megat Omar, chairman of the Board of Governors of the Malay College, said that Malay pupils should be proficient in the national language. They should also take up a second language such as English or French. He added that it was important to have a second language to maintain Malaysia's relationship with foreign countries.

Dato Dr Haji Megat Khas bin Megat Omar (1908-1979) was an early Malay doctor who graduated from the King Edward VII Medical College in Singapore in 1931. He had worked mostly in Perak. His biodata can be obtained from The Who’s Who in Malaysia 1971-1972 (Morais 1972: 201). He was a brilliant doctor and the first Malay to obtain MRCP (Member of the Royal College of Physicians), UK in 1950.
