Well, if u are in klang, Hin Hua is a good school. Their standard is high.
ya ya it all depends where u are staying.If in SS2 U can send your child to Puay Chai…pretty good. Quite hard to get in la
does anybody know which SK offer Chinese subject around Damansara Utama’s area or Gombak/Tmn Melawati or Sg Buloh area?
Anyone knows where is a good SJK(C) around Gombak?
yes…SJK(c)Hin Hua…in my upsr i get 5 a’s.hin hua is the best choice
Talking about SJK(C) in PJ, how about Yuk Chai in Taman Mayang ?
plan to enroll my girl to SJK(C) in Jalan Ampang (the one behind Sucasa x familiar with the name).am staying in Ukay Perdana, is that school good?Is there any teacher who willing to give extra tuition to zero knowledge student like my girl who somewhere lives around here.How’s the fees? Is it a must to have a basic knowledge b4 enroll to SKJ(C). help need to know. tq
Hello mothers,
I am a mother of a two year old girl but also an English tutor. As a public service, I have started a creative writing blog (completely free of charge) to help children with their English writing. It’s full of writing tips and interesting exercises to fire up their imagination and help them express themselves creatively. Do check it out:

what about a chinese school in Shah Alam?
I hear Puay Chai in PJ is not bad.
hannah, there is a school in Gombak if x mistaken LEE RUBBER. I just started sending my girl to her (for mandarin class tuition) that is how i knew shes teaching there in Year 1.Check it out!!
sorry, you didn’t let us know where you live. i live in SJ, well i would say chinese medium school are few, it’s kind of blessings if you have like 1 chinese school from where you stay. in SJ, there are 2 chinese schools i.e. lick hung in SS and chee wen (near to Giant, USJ 1), lick hung is already famous made by their ex-head mistress whom has retired now, i heard the new head master is less strict but still good, it’s difficult to please parents these days, some complain too much homework for their kids and some complain too little homework. i tried to enrol my daughter to lick hung even when she was like 2years old, we even filled in necessary forms + letters etc, when i received the letter from lick hung to go to the school i thought my application was successful, however, it was not, i just didn’t understand all parents whom applications were rejected were still asked to go to the school with the same letter, anyway, my daughter was sent to chee wen and i would say that most of the pupils in chee wen are those rejected pupils from lick hung. my 7 year old daughter’s class is upstairs, it’s pitiful for a 7 year old to drag their heavy school bag each day, imagine, she just started jan ‘09 and i realised her bag is already torn back in feb ‘09. i had to buy her another bag, i just can’t imagine. coming to the teachers, i think there are just too many classes and students, she has so many exercise books, some just used 1 page, i think the teachers in chee wen is not so dedicated, thank God my daughter’s malay teacher is quite nice, she still answers my phone if i need to ask quick question. i tried calling many times to chee wen’s school phone but no one answer, imagine. i would strongly recommend you to send your daughter to lick hung if you stay somewhere near to SJ, but be prepared as it’s not easy to go into this school.
hi.. Anyone knows where is a good SJK(C) around Sri Petaling and Old Klang?
KUEN CHENG is good. It has good discipline and teachers are experieinced. They have good curricular activities.
But seriously if you can afford. Private school’s education is the best. You can hire a good tuition for any extra languae that you require.
Thanks Ms wee(SM) for the link and sharing
Annie,
You are most welcome
Hope you find the site useful

My daughter is now 4yrs old. we have to register her into a school next year. We are staying in kota damansara. Does anyone has any other comment on SJK(C) DAMANSASA (opposite riana green?) Most important is the teachers and their attitude.
About puay chai 2, the one near 1 utama, does anyone know if my daughter can get into this school since we are living in kota damansara ?
I also heard a Chinese school in subang 2, anyone has any idea about it?
thanks
hi sue,
One of my cousin’s went to the chinese school near 1U and another 2 of my cousins went to the chinese school opposites riana green. i would say both are good schools. bear in mind chinese school is usually more stressful. i am not sure about damansara as i live in sj, i registered my daughter when she was 3years old to lick hung chinese school and i did register her again when it was time for registration (imagine twice and i thought with that and recommendation letter + the fact we live in sj will guarantee her a place) but to my disappointment, the answer was “NO” and we only got to know when we received a letter to request us to visit the school like few weeks before school starts, imagine i had to queue up like all other parents and then when it was my turn, they can’t find my daughter’s name and after much search they realised that my daughter’s application was rejected and was sent to chee wen, though they told me at that time that i could appeal but then i asked them what is the chances of getting entry to lick hung they said “VERY SLIM”, i was so mad that i wanted to scold those teachers, well i was not the only one (frustrated) as there were lots of parents like me. so to you, both chinese schools in damansara are famous schools and also imagine the density + these days other races also going to chinese schools, suggest you call up both schools or it would always be better if you could go there to check with the teachers personally. Good luck!
send to China la…. no need to study & stay in Malaysia.
to malaysiana, you are so racist!!! lots of ppl besides chinese themselves send their children to chinese schools because it’s good and fyi mandarin is the most spoken languages in the world.
Better goto malay school in Shah Alam,

Would prefer a morning session for primary.Do hope to get a helping hand from everyone whom read this message of mine.Thanks
Hi!, I m wondering how do u all do enrolment for ur kid. Do I just walk into the school to do enrolment? Pls advise!
I do agree with blossom. I received the letter of registration yesterday and you know, I stay in 4 mile Old Klang Road, the Choong Wen school that I register my daughter is at 4 1/2 mile. You know they send her to another school which is at least 20 KM away from my home ! I just wonder how do they do the selection for this? Why are they making parents so difficult ! Can somebody tell me how I can appeal to transfer back to Choong Wen? Who can I seek help in the Ministry of Education in Jalan Duta?
I think in gombak,SJK(C) Lee Rubber is a good school.I heard some of the student there got 7 As in UPSR.
dear unknown, where is the Lee Rubber school? can you give more explanation? I live near greenwood.
hannah, Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan (cina) Lee Rubberunstarred
Jalan Gombak, Taman Setapak, 53000 Kuala Lumpur
(near Kampong Lee Rubber) – go & serch in google maps, u ‘ll find it there!
Hi Ekah,
I am sorry to hear about your daughter’s rejected registration, I fully understand your frustration, it happened to me before.
That’s really ridiculous.
I am making assumption that your child is still in kindergarten and is only starting next year which means you still have some time. Suggest you call the school (that rejected your application) and speak to the headmaster and ask him/her on this, what is the reason for the rejection since you stay nearby to the school, if he/she is telling you that this is beyond their control i.e. Ministry of Education. Then I suggest you write in to Star Paper and at the same time try calling Ministry of Education, but sorry to say I honestly scared to deal with any government department, they are all sleeping I am sure you know what I mean. Most times no one picking up the phone, else they would transfer your call here and there, the person that you speak to won’t come back to you sigh well I guess no choice really, have to try…. Anyway, good luck!
I would like to share with all parents out there about my frustration with Chee Wen Primary School in Subang Jaya.
My daughter who is in Primary 1 is studying there.
There were a few incidences that made me feeling very unhappy about this school. My daughter told me that her form teacher would pulled her hair and pushed her head if she doesn’t know her work.
Maybe I am being kiasu, I always give my daughter advance school homework (as I find their teacher is a little bit slow and also I was thinking to fill-up my daughter’s time in the evening) but I didn’t know that I shouldn’t do it. One evening my daughter came home and was crying, she told me that she doesn’t want to go to this school anymore and asked me to transfer her to another school because of her form teacher’s treatment. Her form teacher asked her who taught her the homework and my daughter told her “My mummy†and you know what the form teacher told my daughter (while pulling her hair and pushed her head)? She said to my daughter, since your mother is so smart, why not asked her come to this school and teach! I was furious, 1st of all I am not against the teacher to punish my daughter if she didn’t behave or didn’t do her homework i.e. beat her hand with ruler but not telling a child that which I find absolutely inappropriate and how can a teacher pull hair and push head? I feel this teacher could have use a different way i.e. write the reason into my daughter’s message book which I read it every day and this is the way we communicate with teacher as to why I should not be teaching my daughter advance homework and not telling her that way, I think that stupid teacher failed to understand that what bad effect she has done to my daughter (children has dignity too!). I decided to go to her school personally and met with their Assistant Headmistress since her Headmaster is busy bee and explained to her how I felt about the whole thing. Well, too lengthy to go but I think this matter is settled as these days I don’t hear my daughter coming home telling me her teacher pull her hair or pushed her head. But, I still monitor from time to time. Anyway, her form teacher is weirdo….
Recently, during one of their physical exercise lesson, my daughter’s uniforms (both the white & dark blue) was mistakenly taken by another students from another class! Oh, yes I don’t know why for that day they had to remove their socks as well so her socks was gone too! (Okay, socks were never returned well if someone returned back I won’t let me daughter to wear it for hygiene purpose…..) Imagine, I had such a hard time texting her Malay teacher (who teaches them physical exercise class) about this as my daughter only has 2 sets of school uniforms so it rotates at that time when we lost 1 set, we had to washed it every morning and had to ironed it dry for her….. anyway, finally like 1 week+ someone returned back her blue uniform since their name is printed on the uniform (imagine, her name is printed but the parents didn’t know, or the child that accidentally wore my daughter’s uniform didn’t know sigh) but the white one was never found till today!!! Imagine? This is not the end.
Last Friday, my daughter came home telling us that her school shoes were accidentally worn by another student from her class after their computer class (they are required to remove shoes). Imagine, we never wrote names on her shoes! And the shoes that she had to wear (belongs to another student) is smaller and extremely dirty! Not all, we had to go out on weekends to buy her another pair and for your information, my daughter’s shoes that were accidentally worn by the other student is actually very new like 3 weeks only. I kept texting to her Malay teacher to help me find the shoes as my daughter told me it should be someone from her class – I know I am troubling this teacher again though it’s not her fault but she’s the only teacher that gave me her mobile no (and just to share with you all) my daughter’s form teacher is hopeless, she doesn’t help at all. Luckily my daughter managed to find out who wore her shoes and asked the girl to return it back to her and you know children, the girl answered my daughter that she’s not going to return the shoes back to my daughter, anyway, finally I saw the shoes inside my daughter’s school bag yesterday. And the shoes belonging to this girl was also returned to her yesterday.
You know now we write my daughter’s name on every piece of her uniforms, socks, shoes etc etc…. Too scary….
And these days my daughter told me that she has to sit on foldable chair as there are more students transferred from other classes to her class. Sorry, I do pity those little kids (including my daughter) as they have so many books (yes follow according to the time-table) and yet so many books to bring to school (yes, though it’s trolley back) but they are not able to pull it still they have to lift it up as they walk up the stairs and their classes are not downstairs but it’s 1 floor/2 floors up….
I pray no more problems cropping up again… Yesterday the lady who fetches to & fro my daughter to school told me briefly that nowadays she has such a bad headache everyday sending and picking them up as the school has again changed the system….
To all parents out there who wants to send your children to Chinese school and who live in SJ or nearby SJ, suggest you try Lick Hung first…..
i’m staying in ampang, anyone can suggest some good chinese school here..
I hear that Chinese schools are like pressure cookers….so better think again before sending your kids to be tortured la…….Kebangsaan school still ok I think.
Hi Amil,
It’s really sad…
Kids could take pressure, I won’t say all chinese schools are good and produce good students as apart from the school’s effort, a lot is on the child itself. My daughter is attending a chinese school in Subang Jaya and I am already disappointed with the teachers, each time I opened my daughter’s exercise book, I found there are many unfinished home work that she didn’t manage to copy but teacher don’t seem to check. And I have to apply leave to go to the school to check on this
Im interested to register my daughter who is now 2+ in Hin Hua Primary. Anyone care to tell me the procedure or at what age should we start register them for primary school. I have no knowledge of this since this is my first child.
Hi Antriciary, suggest you take a day’s leave and go to the school to enquire the right person the headmaster/headmistress should be able to assist you.
I am confuse here. I am staying in ara damansara but would like to enrol my both son in kebangsaan instead of chinese school. Just worry my both son could not cope up on chinese cause myself are from kebangsaan. pls advise.
My daughter is enrolled into Kuen Cheng 2 for Year 1 next year which is 20km from my house. Choong Wen is nearer and I heard it is one of the top school now. Anyone can enlighten me as I am undecided whether to transfer my daughter to Choong Wen. I was told the classes at Choong Wen is congested with 53 students per class.
@fong,you are right, Choong wen is a very good school and I have feedback from many students who have left…they all have very happy memories of this school. I have been there…the teachers are very kind and respectful to the students – I saw with my own eyes. I don’t know about the “emotional” side of Kuen Cheng but study wise, I hear they are a quality school with experienced teachers and high stds. I’ve seen their exercise books too. Okay if you ask me.
@fong, forgot to add, yes, choong wen would be around 50 students per class. If your child is the type that can concentrate, then should be no problem. Kuen Cheng is a very good school too so think carefully if you want to transfer.
