Hi all,

I understand that this is the year to register kids born on year 2006 for primary one. Does anyone know exactly when is the registration open and how to go about it? Can u register more than one school? ie one chinese school and one SRJK?

And do you know any chinese school nearby Bukit Jelutong, Shah Alam?

Appreciate some advise and help here. Thank you

English medium or chinese medium?

Hi, my son is going to be 5 and I enrolled him to a small montessori school. I have chosen to put him in chinese medium but the teachers said because he has never been schooled before and his writing is bad, they had to put him in the english medium class first until his motor skills improve. So my question here is should I just leave him in english medium? Is chinese medium tougher?

The other big concern also, yes as much as I want my son to learn chinese, but both my hubby and I do not know chinese. How r we gonna assist him in his homework in future?

In my opinion, chinese medium is quite boring and does not bring out the creativity of the children. But knowing chinese is important?!

How to renew Indon maid passport?

I just found out that my maid passport is expiring on 15 April and her work visa expires on 9 June. I am thinking of doing the passport renewal myself without going through an agent. I called the agent and they charge RM350 for the renewal service which i am not willing to pay. I found out for indon passport renewal it coz only from RM18-48 only. So I am thinking of doing it myself since it's not too expensive and I can keep my maid for an extra 6 weeks. Yes, only six weeks but I am going to move house and I really need help! Any info and tips would really be appreciated.
