Malaysia

Alam Shah Secondary School

Located in Kuala Lumpur. National. The students were selected from all over the country for their excellent capabilities in certain aspects and are gathered to be given education of exceptional quality. All of them are required to live in the dormitory. They are well-behaved and very eager in their studies. I was particularly impressed with the Japanese language class, where diligent students are taught the language by a Malaysian teacher who speaks Japanese fluently in a favorable environment for the language learning.
