SO far, in my three wonderful semesters in this Alma mater, I've never gotten to witness (or hear) a complete memorised full song of our college song during our official assembly. It IS a shame actually to be living in this so called-prestigious college and you could not even have the time to memorise four simple paragraphs of this song. However, I don't blame us fully in this. The song could have been better composed. It was a big issue when one of our very own Annanth Kumar, Batch 11, Secretary of SC wanted to change the college song as one of his manifestos. Everyone supported his vision but unfortunately was opposed by the Alumni. They (Alumni) regarded the song as a sole identity of KYUEM as it was created since the very birth of the college and have witnessed hundreds of people coming in and out of KYUEM successfully.
Could the new generations of KYUEM change/alter this boring song into a more inspiring one?
‘Midst Malaysia’s verdant uplands,
Stands a College built for all…
Education is its mission,
Scholarship its clarion call…
Knowledge is the key to freedom,
Study is the road to truth…
We shall strive to serve our nation,
As leaders of Malaysia’s youth…
Kesukaran di atasi,
Kami kan bersatu hati…
Menuju puncak jaya,
Pembela cita semua…
Marilah kita berusaha,
Tegakkan kebenaran…
Demi bangsa dan negara,
Kami sanjung setiap masa…
