Royal Military College (Malay: Maktab Tentera Diraja; abbreviated RMC) or Malaya's Sandhurst) is an all-boys military school established to train young Malaysians for service in the Malaysian Armed Forces. It is sometimes dubbed "the Malaya's Sandhurst".
The RMC campus covers an area of 1,200 acres (4.9 km2) near the town of Sungai Besi (about 10 miles (16 km) from Kuala Lumpur) with a view of the Mines Resort and the 1998 Commonwealth Games Bukit Jalil Stadium. RMC shares its grounds with the National Defence University of Malaysia. A current student of RMC is known as a Present Putera, while a graduate of the institution is known as an Old Putera or "OP" in short. The term Putera, literally meaning prince in Malay, is attributed to the RMC's royal status. As of 3 July 2015 (in conjunction with its anniversary), RMC has received authorization to become an IB World School and implement the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP).
The Charter of the Royal Military College states that the Royal Military College was established with the objective of preparing young Malaysians to become Officers in the Malaysian Armed Forces, hold office in the higher divisions of public service and become leaders in the professional, commercial and industrial life of the country.
The motto of the college is "Serve to Lead" or Berkhidmat Memimpin.
The Sportsman's Prayer is inscribed on a bronze plaque, on a white rock that sits by the rugby field in the college compound.
