ask details for homeschooling in Malaysia?
How can we get a special permission from Malaysia Education Dept. for homeschooling? Is it true that homeschooler can take the exam of SPM or even STPM as private student? Can you show us the "proof" or even the act of homeschooling law in Malaysia? please do let us know...thank you very much.

Ok.... If you are from the royalty its ok to avoid those ppl from kidnapping you but I dont think you will be able as normal ppl

You can register for your SPM exam as a private candidate. There will be advertisements in the local newspaper & the Malaysian Examination Syndicate website on January every current year. For further info, you can email to the MSE : pertanyaan@lpm.moe.gov.my

'An official with the Ministry of Education says formal schooling in this country is not compulsory by law. "We encourage parents to send their children to school but we can't force them to do so since eduation is voluntary," he says. On the issue of homeschooling, the official says the ministry has no jurisdiction over the matter. (The Star, Education Section, May 6, 2001) If this is the case, then we can safely say that homeschooling is indeed legal in Malaysia and it is the right of parents to educate their children whichever way they deem best for them. However, be aware that anything can happen and that the authorities could change their stand at any time that they deem fit. But so far, there has been no indication that the homeschooling status would be jeopardized. Homeschoolers in Malaysia have mainly been on their own. For this reason, FamilyPlace and a few other homeschooling families have started informal homeschooling network to help all those interested in homeschooling.' (I googled) you can email: educate@familyplace.com.my and ask them questions. "Compulsory attendance: Primary level education is compulsory Legal status of homeschooling: Homeschooling is allowed only with special permission from the Ministry of Education. The guidelines are still unclear. There has been no legal case thus far."

Since it is bit lengthy procedures and it needs a lot of documentations from your colleges in India, I am afraid you may not be able to handle all from Malaysia. But you may start; shortlisting colleges & obtaining application forms online, preparation for cracking TOEFL & GRE etc from there. All the best. Here are the websites for your guidance: http://www.usastudyguide.com http://www.studyusa.com http://www.best-collegeusa.com
2 :
You don't apply for the visa until you get accepted into a US program. They will then issue the paperwork which you can take to the Indian embassy in any country. You will need to have just the paperwork and a letter from your bank showing you have the necessary funds for school and living expenses.

I would work on a budget of about 50 $US a day each after your accommodation is paid. That should be plenty if you eat in local restaurants and use public transport. Clothes are relatively cheap in markets and some department stores out of the center of KL. Enjoy your trip!
2 :
kuala lumpur.. if you have RM50 (arround$20)per day is enough for transportation, meals, 1pc t-shirt. but if you go arround with your foreign face… I don’t think so. So, u must find someone (local) to guide you. It is because, buses are the cheaper transportation in kl. In order to go somewhere by bus, you must know the number of bus (each bus have number – number means destination) if you travel by taxi, rm50 is not enough. food: rm3 - rm7 permeal (if u go to hotel or fastfood restaurant - you can't get this price) t-shirt: rm5 - rm50 (night market is the best place to by cheap t-shirt etc) transportation: bus - rm2 for longest distance in kl. taxi - please no

If you're at the conference all day, and they provide lunch for you, then you only really need to worry about 2 meals per day. You can get a decent meal for 5-7 ringit on the cheap end of the scale, but at more western restaurants a dinner can cost at least 30 ringit. A ten-minute taxi ride in a regular taxi should cost around 5 ringit or so. The prices vary depending on where you shop. If you shop at Petronas Towers then it is extremely expensive. All in all I would suggest, with a decent amount of shopping, around 100 ringit per day. If you did not do much shopping, then I would suggest about 40-50 ringit per day. Thats about 400 over 4 days, or 200 without shopping. Have fun!

about MYR200 per day... 4 days make MYR800... change to USD, around $300... more than enough...

Ive been to Kuala Lumpur from Philippines three times now within the span of four years and I always like to explore and know the city and find ways to keep my expenses at most affordable , so heres what I found out and could be of great use to you guys; 1. In Kuala Lumpur the price of food in hawkers/vendor places and big malls food court are the almost the same , so my best advise go for food courts of malls. Nasi Lemak - Chicken rice and curry sauce with rice cooked in coconut milk in Kopitiam in Sogo Malls or any malls is 5 Ringgit , in any stalls almost the same . Chicken Rice or Hainanese Chicken - 5 to 6.50 Ringgit 1 USD = 3.34 Ringgit if your USD is in 100 denomination , for lower denomination exchange rates is lower. Buy your bottled water in Groceries almost all malls have groceries only 0.80 cents for 500 ml in groceries but in special stores can be 1.20 Ringgit . Usually if you follow my suggestion , you spend like USD 10.00 snacks included / pay for each person . 2. Shopping is not expensive in Malaysia , go to Sungei Wang for clothes , shoes , watches , hair cuts and games but be sure its original (they will tell you the truth if you ask) Also since its Visit Malaysia year now , so many dept stores are on Sale . For electronics go to Low Fat (??) behind Sungei Wang . Good food and great variety try the chicken fish barbecue ,are in Bukit Bintang at night , 3.Transportation is cheap and easy in Kuala Lumpur , they have MRT , Mono Raiuls , Buses and TAxis . From the airport to KL , I use the airport buses of Airasia and other buses it will cost you 9 Rinngit from LCCT (Low Cost Airport from the KLIA get a service bus that will bring you to LCCT ) to KL Sentral , also you could buy the Airasia SkyVan coupon for 9 Rinngit , these vans will be stationed in KL Sentral (where all trasport in Malaysia are stationed (trains , buses taxis )and upon alighting from Airbuses , hop on these Vans and they will bring you to your accommodation doorstep. Cheapest and most convenient. Taxis will charge you on contracted fee or taxi meter if you insist or coupons if available in KL sentral . If the route your taking is covered by Monborail , then you have to take it from accross the KL Sentral cost the most farthest route 2.50 Ringgit to Medan Tuanku. 1. Most economical hotel , go to www.tunehotels,com , they offer basic hotel , great bed , great shower in your room and best location and security . Most I paid for 3 nights in a double room is 149.00 Rinngit /3 nights plus 12 hours aircon which could be topped up . But you need to book like one month to get the best rate , the rates depend on when you booked . You could even pay like 9 Rinngit if you book like two months before . Happy Shopping and great finds in least expensive way in KL.

if you take your puppy in a carry-on bag, it will be considered hand-luggage and won't cost anything. bags like that will be available in pet stores. the thing to do is to let the vet sedate your puppy to make it sleep during flight, put the carry-on bag under the seat in front of you and you will have an enjoyable flight. you need to get full information on bureaucracy connected with import of animals into the united states. as i do not know how many stop-overs you will have, i further suggest that you stop by a vet at at least one transit airport to have him check whether the puppy is ok.
2 :
Do what the smart guy says to bring the dog over to US by a bag if you want to be in trouble. If you are taking Malaysian Airlines With over 1,248 sq metre of space, your animals or pets will have ample roaming space before their flight or upon arrival. They will be staying in the only animal hotel in Asia and one out of only three in the world. MASKargo facility accepts all kinds of animals . Your animals will be taken care of by our team of experienced and well-trained handlers providing constant supervision from acceptance to delivery or during transit.

I'm studying in Singapore (I'm American). My friends who go tend to visit just to shop or lay on the beach, or scuba dive. They tend to be from here (that age group is in their 30s, steady jobs, drive up for weekend trips). Or British/American (fellow students) who may skip a day of classes and make a long day of it - go up by coach and their average age is 20). Oh, it's also popular to pass through on the way to Thailand so as to see a few more things along the way (instead of just hopping on a plane). So, yeah a trip to Malaysia is sometimes used to slow the pace of a trip to another destination as well. My German friends who are working here (also in their 30s), do the weekend thing, by coach - just to see touristy stuff in KL and JB usually). Hope that helps :o).

One reason is that we can get some warmer weather. I live in an area that is cold and it rains and snows during the Fall and Winter. We drink a lot of hot Starbuck's coffee. I was glad to see that there is a lot of Starbuck's coffee in Malaysia, but I usually get a cold drink. We can find good hotels in Malaysia and we can swim in the pools and be in the sunshine. We like to find good food, see the art and architecture in Malaysia. Also we like to learn about the history. I have found that every city is different. We enjoy knowing people that have come from many different countries and live in Malaysia. I enjoy the diversity of the culture. We like to travel to see new places and meet people. Some of us are looking for adventure - we can always find it in Malaysia.

Is it not dangerous when 80% of the Chinese students are attending Chinese medium schools in Malaysia?
Salam, Most Malays (100%) are attending Malay medium schools and most Chinese (80%) are attending Chinese medium schools. Whose idea is this? Racial harmony in Malaysia is almost non-existence and national unity is already very bad. Our system of education futher aggravates the polarisation of races and we are moving surely towards a national disaster in the near future. Could we do something better or just leave it as it is and hope for the best? Salam. Wan Solehah al-Halbani

Probably any attempt to change the status quo at this time would stir up even more ill feeling. I don't believe that schools are polarising racism, but rather that the polarisation has made made ethnic groups want separate schools.
