Stop streotyping Chinese Independent High School students as shy and introvert. Not all are that.
Personally, I'm from Chong Hwa Independent High School from KL. I think it's quite a good school. But the standards now isn't as good as the older days. Students are quite good in public speeches and isn't shy at all. We also have our own social life. We are not as 'boring' as some people say.
Our language proficiency is also quite good. Take me for example. Hehe. I'm proficient in 3 languages, namely Mandrin, English and BM.
If you intend to send your children to Singapore, China or even Taiwan, send them to Chinese Independent High School.
Contrary to popular beliefs, we don't really have a lot of pressure. We don't have much homework too. The only thing that we have a lot is exams. However, many teachers are dedicated in their teaching. So, getting good results isn't that tough anyway. And we don't really stereotype students as good or bad. I bet even some students from our so called last class can beat some national school students.
Just my two cents.
Sorry if I offended anyone.
Sorry to say that your statement doesn't paint the true picture of what is happening in CIHS (or rather CHKL in this case). Personally, I'm from Chong Hwa Independent High School from KL.

Language proficiency for example, yes I don't deny the fact that there are quite a handful of students who are good in all three languages, but I would say majority of them are only good in either 1 or 2 of the 3 languages. No offence though as myself is a good example, I don't claim to be proficient in English or BM, but at least I have above average standards compared to my peers. However, Mandarin for example, was never my forte. On a side note, I would say that the English proficiency level in CHKL (at least during my time) is no where near good for the majority of the students unless he/she comes from an English speaking background.
Pressure on the other hand, depends on individuals. Saying that students there don't really have a lot of pressure is definitely not a true reflection. Back in my time, there was hardly a day where I don't have to hand in any homework at all. Exams I agree with you, but it seems they have made changes to that recently, or so I heard.
Depends on what you define as good, getting an average of 75 and above is not really that easy as it might sound.
*p/s: I left school in 2005 so I'm merely talking based on my experience though it may be outdated in current context. And no offence to you whatsoever.
