When we asked about the schools in Malaysia, they said...
"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," remarked one expat living in Ampang with children attending Mutiara International School.
"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," said one expat in Kuala Lumpur with children at Sri Murni.
