context_page_description: Royal Military College 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 near the town of Sungai Besi with a view of the Mines Resort City 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, RMC has received authorisation to become an IB World School and implement the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program.
context_section_description: Normally, after their Passing Out Parade, OPs will get their class ring (or also known as OP ring) as a sign that they have graduated from the college and to commemorate their time in the college. The tradition was influenced by the similar tradition practiced by Royal Military Academy Sandhurst which was introduced by British administrators during the college's early days.
  Furthermore, OPs wear their college's green tie every Wednesday. This makes it easier for OPs to recognize each other, regardless of generations, race and religion.
