Crest

The shield is quartered into sides of white, red, yellow and black. These are colours of the Federated Malay States. These colours also represent the four "Rumah" (houses); white (Idris), red (Sulaiman), yellow (Mohd Shah) and black (Ahmad), commemarating the four sultans who were the founders of the college. In the middle of the shield is a red kris which symbolizes the Malay race. On top of the shield is a head of a tiger which is symbol of the Federation of Malaya. Surrounding the left and right side of the shield are laurel wreaths symbolizing excellence. The school motto is Fiat Sapienta Virtus, or Manliness Lies Through Wisdom.
