Sekolah Sultan Alam Shah or simply Alam Shah (abbreviated as SAS) is a fully residential school situated in Putrajaya, Malaysia.[1] Sekolah Sultan Alam Shah is one of the schools in the country awarded with the title High Performance School [12] and in 2014 was entitled as one of the 10 Schools of Global Excellence (SGE) [13] by the Ministry of Education due to its academic merits, co-curricular achievements, strength of its alumnus, international recognition, broad network and vast linkages. The school is under the royal patronage of the Sultan of Selangor.[10]

History

[edit]

Establishment

Old SAS campus located at Cheras.

Sekolah Sultan Alam Shah was introduced as a result of the Razak Report drafted in 1956, in line with the efforts of reforming the education system in the Federation of Malaya. It began its operations on 7 February 1963 and was launched by the late Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Salahudin Abdul Aziz. During its inception, SAS became the first secondary Malay school in Malaya to enroll a batch of Form 6 students, which gave the opportunity for Malay students from the middle-class to further their studies both locally and abroad.[3] The old school campus was located at Bandar Tun Razak, Cheras, Kuala Lumpur.

Its first enrolment oversaw the intake of Form 4, Form 5 and Form 6 male students, as well as 8 female students in Lower Form 6. The trend of female intakes ended in 1974 as Sekolah Seri Puteri (SSP) had opened and started enrolling female students. During the same year, SAS started enrolling Form 1 students. SAS had also enrolled matriculation students from National University of Malaysia (UKM) from 1975 to 1998.[3][14]

Moving to Putrajaya

The idea of moving SAS from Cheras to Putrajaya had sparked from the aspiration of the fourth Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to have an elite world-class school located in Malaysia's new administrative capital, Putrajaya. The meeting between Mahathir and the former Secretary General of the Ministry of Finance, Tan Sri Samsuddin Hitam [ms] had led to the realisation of this idea. A 24-hectare land was approved as the site for SAS’ new campus. Construction works started in early 2001, and ended in 2003. At the size of 142,000 m2 (1,530,000 sq ft), the overall cost amounted to RM 54 million, which was considered the most expensive SBP ever built in Malaysia.[3] The school gradually shifted from the Cheras campus to Putrajaya to make way for the oncoming opening ceremony.

On 25 April 2003, a total of 652 students migrated to the new campus . On 24 March 2006, the opening ceremony of the new campus were inaugurated by the current Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, who also bestowed the name Sekolah Sultan Alam Shah to the school, which was based on the name of his grandfather, Sultan Hisamuddin Alam Shah.[10] A year later, on 30 March 2007, SAS was granted the title Cluster School of Excellence (Malay: Sekolah Kluster Kecemerlangan) by the former Minister of Education, Dato’ Sri Hishamuddin Hussin.[11] SAS was also named as a High Performance School (Malay: Sekolah Berprestasi Tinggi) on 25 January 2011.[12]

On 7 February 2013, exactly 50 years after the establishment of SAS, the school celebrated its Golden Jubilee launched by Tan Sri Aseh Che Mat [ms], President of Putrajaya Corporation who is also an alumnus of the school. The celebration was visited by the sixth Prime Minister, Dato Seri Najib Abdul Razak, who donated RM1 million to the school at the time of celebration, former Deputy Minister of Education Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi and former Director General of Education Tan Sri Ghafar Mahmud. The celebration included a gala night, marching formations, performance by multiple groups such as Alam Shah Wind Orchestra (ASWO) and Gamelan Tradisional SAS (GATRASAS), as well as gallery walks relating to the history and performance of the school. The celebration also oversaw the participation of international visitors.[15]

Motto and Identity

[edit]

Motto[16]

SAS’ main motto is enshrined on its blazonry, which is ‘Chita, Usaha, Jaya’ (Aspire, Strive and Succeed). Other mottos include ‘SAS: Good to Great, Great to Exceptional’.

Blazonry[17]

Infographic of SAS’ logo.

The logo consists of a red “Old French” escutcheon (shield) with yellow per bend sinister motive. A blue circle with the crescent and the 14-pointed Federal Star (Bintang Persekutuan) is located in the middle of the shield. Above the circle lies a glaring red flame of a torch. Below the circle, an opened book is placed. Located below the book is a small blue banderole bearing the motto of the school ‘Chita Usaha Jaya’.

Below the shield, a simple black compartment is added and a blue banderole containing the words “Sultan Alam Shah Putrajaya”, denoting the school's name, is included.

Each element bears their own meaning, which include:

Flag[17]

The flag is a simple dark blue field with the school's blazonry in the middle. The blue field represents unity and calmness, while the middle position of the blazonry indicates the thorough acceptance of education.

Official Anthem[17]

The official anthem for SAS is ‘Alam Shah Jaya’ (English: Victorious Alam Shah). It was composed and lyricised by Oscar H. Batoebara, an Indonesian teacher.[8]
