  1. Salam. Good article. However, the name MOZAC was there way before 1998.

    Even before the result of SPM 1998 was announced, the school had always been known as MOZAC. Yes, it was a dream to be renamed as Muzaffar College, in the likes of other schools like TKC, and MCKK. In fact, one of the famous cheer song of those days was already aptly named “MOZAC Dynamite”, and it was famous in 1995, and was surely an inherited song, i.e. the name MOZAC was in existence for students way back in time (although might not be approved by teachers and powers that be).

    Source? I was in Form 1 at Mozac in 1995.

    Cheers

  2. Dear Writer,

    Firstly good job for the write up.

    I am not sure which/who/when it was first used, but the name “Mozac” existed long before 1999. Even back in the late 80s.
