Perselisihan Faham Sering Terjadi,

Derita Orang Yang Sabar,

Dituduh Berdusta Bercakap Benar,

Nama Dicemar Orang Tak Gemar,

Takkan Bertukar Dari Menipu Biar Terlantar,

Dunia Penuh Tipu Daya,

Jujur Berkata Menjadi Mangsa,

Pandai Menipu Lekas Berharta,

Biarlah Merana Hidup Tak Berdusta

Pada tahun 1894, sekolah ini telah ditutup untuk tujuan pengubahsuaian dan dilahirkan semula dalam bentuknya yang baru pada tahun 1905 di Kuala Kangsar, yang sehingga hari ini dikenali sebagai The Malay College Kuala Kangsar (MCKK).[1]

Sultan Perak (Paduka Seri Sultan Idris) dalam Persidangan Raja-Raja (DURBAR) pada tahun 1903 yang mengkritik dasar pentadbiran Inggeris, khususnya dalam hal pendidikan orang Melayu dengan menyatakan“to producing better Malay farmers or fisherman only”. Sultan Perak sendiri telah menawarkan lokasi penubuhan MCKK di tapak sekarang ini, dengan maksud “for the education of the Malays of good family and for the training of Malay boys for admission to certain branches of the government service”
