British Girl - Newish to KL by CathyAnn
Hi all. I moved to KL about 9 weeks ago and have just finished my first quarter at school (working). I live in Wangsa Maju so it's not typically expatty so to speak, so I'm finding it difficult to meet new people. Just wanted people's ...

Looking for a good and affordable school in KL by Schatty
Hi, my son is 8 yrs old (Std III). We are moving to KL on a local package - so the company's not picking up education expenses. Saw that the fees in Mont Kiara, ISKL, Garden and the likes are beyond my pocket completely. 1. Anyone knows of a ...
You should consider Fairview International School - It's an IB world school that follows the English curriculum. The fees I believe are around 20000 ringgit a year. I know it had a reputation in the past for not being brilliant but it's ... Read More

CPR..... by CathyAnn
how long is it normal to wait for a CPR??
We get paid in cash and have already been, and can continue to get paid in cash - even with our CPR (some people like to send it straight home). Instead of having it deposited into bank accounts here. I don't know, it's all very strange. Thanks for ... Read More
CPR..... by CathyAnn
how long is it normal to wait for a CPR??
I've had my health check done at home. They have that, and yes I know we get CPR on a work visa. It all just seems shrouded in secrecy. I was convinced it was illegal, but there's about 15 of us? who don't have one yet (work visa/cpr) the ministry ... Read More
CPR..... by CathyAnn
how long is it normal to wait for a CPR??
See, I thought you had to have health checks first. But apparently not, that's a separate thing because some of the people have got their CPR but not had their health check, and others have had their medical, but have no CPR. I'm currently here on a ... Read More

Hi, thanks for the replies. Have been here nearly 1 month now and am learning that a car is perhaps necessary to get around/do anything! (There are no pavements/sidewalks. ANYWHERE). still finding my feet hopefully it'll get better as months go on. ... Read More

I'm teaching at ISC Manama, which I gather is quite far out from the main city (well far out for a very small island!) so I'm looking into getting a car maybe. The school haven't mentioned anything about reimbursement, but I'll keep my receipt ... Read More

Hi Lulu Yes, I think I am staying in that area, I gather it's quite far out from the main centre, so I'm investigating how much it'll cost me to lease a car etc so I can get around a bit easier. I am really looking forwards to it! I'm going to ... Read More
