Ninth Residential College - Tun Syed Zahiruddin Residential College

Like the mythical phoenix rising from its ashes, plans for the Ninth Residential College were formed after the Modular Residential College caught fire in 1990. The college started construction on 2nd of January 1994 and was completed in April 1995. The Residential College was officially launched by Y.A Bhg. Orang Kaya Seri Maharaja Tun Haji Syed Zahiruddin bin Syed Hassan. The college is named in his honour.

It currently houses 900 students pursuing undergraduate studies at the University of Malaya as well as one block for Administrative staff. The college is also renowned for having produced many talented students in various fields especially in arts, academics and soft skills such as debate and public speaking.

    This college once had a "Master" (Principal) by the name of Wirakarnain Bin Sani who was infamous for allegations of corruption and abuse of power. His right-hand-man was Roslan Bin Salikhon. They had a few other staff in UM who helped them in all their schemes. Both Wirakarnain Bin Sani and Roslan Bin Salikhon are no longer needed in UM. Wirakarnain Bin Sani was said to have been investigated by the Anti-Corruption Agency (BPR) twice during his questionable tenure as a UM staff. However, due to the help of well-connected UMNO politicians, he is still living as a free man until today. It is widely known that Wirakarnain Bin Sani uses UMNO politicians for his own personal gains. However, due to his own tarnished image, he automatically tarnishes the image of such politicians too. Such politicians do not seem to realize that Wirakarnain Bin Sani is a liability. One of his usual activities is to compile a list of UM staff and students who are so-called "Opposition" members. The list would actually contain the names of his personal enemies, so they are not necessarily "Opposition" members at all! Wirakarnain Bin Sani would then present the list to UMNO politicians, so that "due action" would be taken against the names in the list. Some UMNO politicians actually fall for his trick, and so the livelihood of innocent people would also be affected. Wirakarnain Bin Sani is also known as someone who asks for huge sums of money in return for political favours. Acting as a broker or gatekeeper for certain UMNO politicians, be prepared to part with a lot of money if you want him to whisper your proposals to politicians. Even then, do not expect him to actually convey your proposals the way he promises to, because he might just take your ideas and claim them as his own. Most UM students who knew Wirakarnain Bin Sani in person would most probably remember him as a nice person, but most would disagree once they get to see his true colours. Not many students had the opportunity to see his true colours because he knew how to hide them.
