MBSSKL Badge (Crossed version, pre-1989) Methodist Boys Secondary School Kuala Lumpur, Jalan Hang Jebat

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The school badge consists of the words M.B.S. and a banner in Or(Yellow) against a background shield of Azure(Blue). Azure(Blue) represents the fact that all humanity shares the same sky and a sense of togetherness. It represents the harmony of all the races in MBSSKL, and that the importance of each individual is recognized. Or(Yellow) represents the excellence for which we are encouraged to strive for.

The motto, “Ora et Labora” means “Pray and Work” in Latin.

The school crest has changed somewhat throughout the years especially on the removal of a “white cross” upon which the text “MBS” sits. The removal of the cross was initially made in deference to Muslim students in the school who would specifically wear the “cross-less” version of the badge. (The badges of convent schools which featured a prominent cross had to be completely redesigned.) Politically, Malaysia was developing into a primarily Muslim country with a multi-racial, multi-ethnic population who have long learnt to exist among each other with tolerance. The permanent removal of the cross in 1989 reflects this subtle shift in the country’s sensitivity to the Muslim community.
