Malaysia Bible Seminary

Malaysia Bible Seminary (MBS) is an interdenominational evangelical seminary located in the town of Klang, Selangor, Malaysia to train local Christians preparing for ministry. The seminary was established in 1978, originally located at Luther House, Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

The Chinese Department was established with the transfer of 5 students from the Malaysia Christian Training Centre, Rawang, which then closed. The English Department was established in the same year with the merging of the Pusat Latihan Kristian Melaka (Malacca Christian Training Centre, established in 1976) into the seminary[1]. Both of the predecessor centres were founded with the help of OMF International.

The founding Principal was Rev. Dr. Lukas Tjandra from Indonesia. Due to immigration restrictions, he left Malaysia in 1986, and was succeeded by the second Principal, Rev. Dr. Lee Ken Ang in 1989. The third Principal, Rev. Dr. Tan Kim Sai, was appointed in 1997[2], and was succeeded by the fourth and present Principal Dr. Jason Lim w.e.f. January, 2010.
