MCNET is a portal
for the Malay College Kuala kangsar. MCNET provides news, updates, directories,
databases and articles concerning MCKK for all Malay Collegians as well
as others.
It is a community service project undertaken by 9599inc,
which is a webdesign studio established by students Mohd Firdaus and
Nik Nazmi.
Originally, 9599inc was approached by a few old boys to undertake a
project for an MCKK portal. Having come up with some plans, etc, the
project broke down. But the novel dream of having an MCKK portal was
not lost upon Mohd Firdaus and Nik Nazmi. Furthermore, MCKK and MCOBA
has not had a website for sometime. Both the partners of 9599inc were
involved in the setting up of the previous MCKK website in 1999.
Finally, after months of planning and research, 9599inc came out with
MCNET. It is complemented by Raja Petra's MCKK
Community Networking (MCKK-Comnet), a yahoogroup among MCKK
students, past and present.
MCNET is currently undertaking discussions to provide professional support
and funding for the portal, as it is now running on free web services
and is non-profitable.
Currently, three people work for MCNET.
Mohd Firdaus is in charge of the technical and design aspects of MCNET.
He was in Mohd Shah in MCKK and having left the College in 1999, he
is now a undergraduate at the University of Sheffield, taking Computer

Nik Nazmi is the content editor of MCNET. Also from Mohd Shah Class
