The best combo is sjkc and SMKĀ©. Good balance of bahasa, english and chinese till SPM. And most students will speak in English and Mandarin in school too. Having good SPM BM will also increase the chance of entering matriculasi and stpm which will enable one to enter critical courses such as medicine and dentistry in Public unis, saving even more money.

Comparing to Chinese independent schools, students usually will be good in Mandarin, but weak in English and BM. Even with SPM BM, entering public uni will be very difficult.

I am a product of SJKC Lick Hung + SMJK Katholik PJ. Can tell you all the students there, regardless of race, can speak mandarin and english well. Our sciences all are in english and compulsory SPM BC.

We have chinese lesson everyday from Mon to Fri. I have to take lrt for 1hr home since form 1 and it was tough, some days after school heavy rain no choice, by the time I walk until lrt station already wet. But I'm grateful that my parents forced me to study mandarin until SPM.

How about BM. Then Pak rebai will use you as example of forgoing BM for other languages

I would like to enquire, is Chinese Literature still offered as a subject at Catholic High School? I read this Sin Chew article that they have a very good Chinese Literature teacher there:

Yes still offered.

You are right, I wasn't her student but am from the class next door. She specialises in chinese literature. Very well respected amongst teachers and students as the top chinese teacher in Catholic High. She is also the unit head.

Is Chinese Literature offered to all students in the school, or only to selected students/classes/streams?

I see Mdm. Chua turns 55 this year - my son will enter CHS in a week's time, and I hope he may be blessed to be part of her final cohort of Chinese Language and Chinese Literature students before she retires in 5-6 years' time. Looks like she also coaches the CHS Chinese Language Debating Team (who have been winning quite a number of the National Chinese Debating competitions, even beating the Chinese Independent High Schools!).

Chinese literature is offered to all students across 14 classes starting from Form 4, both arts or science stream. Something unique about CHS is that all science students must take all 3 sciences and add maths, there are no "sub-science" class.

Yes indeed, our debate team frequently travels overseas for international competitions. Your son may join the debate club if he is keen on giving it a go.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions, I'm happy to help.
