Conclusion
Malaysia is known around the world as a stunningly beautiful country with very graceful and charming people. It has also acquired a formidable reputation for its many world class schools that are as good, if not better than the rest in the world. That is something that augurs very well for its cosmopolitan reputation as well as the fantastic opportunities it opens up for the children who study at these schools.
The reasonably large and diverse expat population is very well served by these schools as they can send their children to study there. That is very beneficial to the economy of Malaysia that relies to quite an extent on the presence of large numbers of expats living in the country. Going forward one can expect the reputation of Malaysia as a major education centre in the southeast Asian region on account of its many world class schools. It is, in fact, already providing schooling to a fair number of young students from far and wide.
