This is the latest (fourth) edition of The Chinese Schools of Malaysia: A Protean Saga by Kua Kia Soong. First published in 1985, it is the first full-length book in English, on the development of the Chinese-medium schools in the Malaysia. It has since been in constant demand because of the interest in this unique community-run mother tongue education system. With more than 1,280 primary schools, 60 Independent secondary schools and three tertiary-level colleges, the Malaysian Chinese education system has few comparisons in the world.
