When we asked about the schools in Malaysia, they said...

"I would suggest that if parents want their children to go to an international school, they should send them to a large, well-established school with an excellent reputation. I would avoid local schools with international departments until they were well-established, with a proven track record. Alternatively, I would suggest considering homeschooling which enables parents to closely monitor their child's learning and builds trust and communication within the family," remarked one expat living in Kuala Lumpur with children attending Sri Murni.

"Don't waist your money. The directors pocket it all. Go see for yourself. Wear a construction helmet in case the roof caves in on your head," said one expat in Ampang with children at Mutiara International School.
