This Month's Feature
Kolej Tuanku Ja'afar
A Noble Pursuit for First Class Education based in Malaysia. Founded in 1991, Kolej Tuanku Ja'afar (KTJ) is one of Asia's leading independent and co-educational secondary boarding schools based on the British system. Our aim is to combine the best of the British independent school system characterised by its traditions of academic excellence and character development with the educational needs of Malaysia and the Asian region.
KTJ is the brainchild of the members of the Negeri Sembilan royal family - YAM Tunku Naquiyuddin ibni Almarhum Tuanku Ja'afar, YAM Tunku Tan Sri Imran ibni Almarhum Tuanku Ja'afar and YAM Tunku Dara Tunku Tan Sri Naquiah binti Almarhum Tuanku Ja'afar - who wished to establish a first-class educational centre based in Malaysia.

"Beggars can't be choosers"
This idiom means that people who are in great need must accept any help that is offered, even if it is not a complete solution to their problems.
