Deeply concerned abo't the local teenage social problems, especially those who were the Cld and Ko'ng Edwardians 1the one that still in school2I he has stri+ed to and has s'cceeded in bringing these matters to local attention since the 2444s. . $ince he feel responsible for protecting these st'dents, in later on he fo'nded the Cld Edwardian (3) ssociation where also known as the CE(3) specially for the e?Jst'dent from the year 13(3 to 133) with only the intention 7'st to gather as many as possible his old friends and the rest is history. "t's hard to imagine Encik Mohd li 9in Mohi'deen as a shy teenager back then. 9't the bright, selfJpossessed )-JyearJold teacher says he wo'ld not be who he is if he hadn't had a school like the ,ing Edward 0"" $chool to g'ide him thro'gh to'gh times 1he did not came from a wealthy family2.
