My ex secondary school was in the HPS list (SMS Muzaffar Syah, a boarding school). I would definitely say that my school deserved it. The school and its teaching staff have worked very hard and very long to reach the achievement today

Morning michael,
i am an occasional blog-hopper so pardon my long views ;)

Malaysians certainly deserve better educational crutches from the gov. why? Quite a majority of us are people who invisibly live under the not so glamorous poverty radar, which is in line with the low pays & all. The ever increasing hidden fees etc for a child to be fed with formal education are a fact well known & are one of the many pre-contributing factors to the long list of school dropouts amongst these poor souls of the hardcore poor. Home schooling/tutoring is out of reach & will forever be an unaccomplished wet dream. Well equipped & grand international/private schools? Fat chance.

Coming from a remotely-sounding kampung name, which from my point of view  geographically not too remote, i am blessed to be handpicked & serve my time in the 3rd ranked high performing school (residential school category) for two wonderful years. But before I am being judged of being over-sentimental of my past & the school, I need to stress that i did not fully agree with the list as few illustrious schools with rich tradition of educational & whatever excellence there is are being left out but i.m.h.o, it is high time for the authority in question, which is the gov  to provide us the official school ranking for all to see. Are these schools really are the high performance type or is it all just hype? We malaysians WILL BE THE JUDGE.

Then again, news etc can be spun but I personally think we are all intelligent enough not to let anybody or perhaps, a somebody to screw & insult it, right?
cheers

I see a lot of redundancies. First Sekolah Bestari, second Sekolah Kluster,up next High Performance School. And some schools belongs to those 3 categories at thesame time. Like MCKK. Can’t help it I’m from STAR Ipoh.

A lot of Tamil schools in the rural estates are lacking a lot of facilities.So who’s gonna give them money? Hallo is Mr Samy Vellu at home?

Michael, actually my primary school is on that list :P It was a great school when I was there, I’m not too sure about the management now.

ST – The wrong way.

Hawk – I think in our case, they didn’t actually put ‘all geniuses in one class’. It is more like, they come up with a list of institutions which they think are good, and work from there. Padahalnya, we don’t have many geniuses to begin with. (ironically, one of the math prodigy got busted for distributing illegal drugs a few weeks ago)…

woody – They did send a guy to space though, and some molotov cocktails to other gods’ doorsteps…

mott – It’s that time of the month…
