Ask yourself la why you want to send your kids to int or private school? My PhD friend work as physic and maths tutors told me private school syllabus ain't any tougher than our national school leh.. National school grad usually have better theory foundation but private school 1 more creative when it comes to answering the exam.

This is comparing both good student la ya, not your typical next door mat lajak mat rempit material.

The real problem is not the syllabus, its the teacher, u know well local school are shortage of teacher, one moment u have no teacher, next moment they place a moral teacher to teach u science. Unless u gotten into the good one, which even u are within the living area there are ppl who duped address to get in and ur kid might not even get enrolled, most ppl will first try their luck to get enrolled in the good locals school, but if cant get it, u either go private/int or enroll into shitty local school, ur choice.

Register your kid earlier, or enroll your kid to the well-known school affiliate kindergarten. Do extra mile or be prepare to go shitty school or pay for private. Your choice

annual fee of rm5000 vs rm40000 is a big big difference.

And this is current value. Nothing stop them from increasing fees year to year. The current average should be around 15k for primary

You can trust but you don't have to trust and worship a person entirely la topkek. Your life is binary mode is it, either 'absolute yes' or 'absolute no'?

Shit, don't think you can comprehend anyway. Added to my ignore list 1 star joker

Legend say even if u enroll earlier someone might get ahead of u by doing contribution, apply to srjk© , hearsay only ya

Contribution is known, no need hearsay ya. Worse is when contribution also can't make you in there

Anyway, sjk is easier to enrol now because many parent prefer to send their kid to private/itl school lor. Most of their reason is not to have their kid compete on marks in their early day and of course the never ending homework.

This point interests me, because I keep hearing comments about how "Malaysia's secondary school syllabus has been watered down", and I am actually wondering how true that statement really is.

I have been exposed to both the SPM and Cambridge GCE syllabuses before, having done my secondary school both in Malaysia and Singapore in the early-1990's:
1. I took Malaysia's Matematik Tambahan and Singapore's Additional Mathematics textbooks and past year papers (i.e. SPM vs. GCE 'O' Levels), and laid them side-by-side. The syllabus was almost exactly the same.
2. SPM Biology required students to study most of the bones in the human body. Singapore's G.C.E 'O' Level Biology covered only four (4) bones on the arm.
(I am aware that G.C.E. and IGCSE are not the same thing, but I am guessing that they should be at least comparable in standard.)

Does anyone have any concrete data and information to support or debunk the claim that Malaysia's secondary school syllabus has really been watered down, at least for Mathematics and Sciences? Note that I am referring to the syllabus content and level of difficulty, not the marking scheme (which is another big topic for debate) or the quality of teaching (which is highly-dependent on individual schools and teachers).
I agree with the first part about the optimum combination being SJK©+SMJK©. When I was doing my senior high school in Singapore, one of my schoolmates was ex-Catholic High School PJ. He was winning Chinese essay awards, trouncing his Singaporean classmates, and his English was strong enough to keep up with the Singapore standards.

On that basis, I personally believe that more SMJK©'s are required to meet the high demand (I saw two newspaper articles about Catholic High School appealing for a branch school to be established, as it is the only SMJK© in the whole of Petaling Jaya, and has to turn away a large number of applicants).

Informal data told to me

My friend a PhD holder work as private tutor for secondary school physics. He said spm syllabus is tougher than International school (he did not quote which international syallbus, but surely not UEC). however, he said international student tends to be more creative when they are approaching the question, vs SPM holder are straight to the answer with no bullshit.
