Majority convent schools student ate muslims, with national school syllabus that include islamic studies.most convent schools church still function, they are still some convent that has a nun for a teacher,english math subjects.back in the 60s, many aussie nun become english teacher in malaysia convent schools.

    You got it wrong, it's the other way around, bumiputra who are Islam, and adopt malay culture can be malay... And malay are divided to Melayu, bugis, banjar, jawa, melanau, mandaiiling, minang(which origins from the malay archipelago, mostly now are Indonesia's) There are also the Pattani malay's that comes from Thailand..... And malays are included in the Bumiputra group, which the indigenous people like Jakun, Temiar, MahMeri, Senoi etc (in Peninsular Malaysia)... Iban, penang, kayan, kadazan, dusun, kelabit (in east Malaysia) Malays speak Bahasa Melayu with variations in dialect according to the state they are from, other Bumiputra have their own languages...

      Historically, Convents used to be Missionary Schools in Malaysia during British Colonial as they did in India and other land under British Empire. Convents for all girls and St John for all boys. As example Convents Bukit Nanas (CBN) in Kuala Lumpur which founded in 1899 by three Sisters of the Congregation of the Holy Infant Jesus stepped off a steamship anchored at Port Swettenham in Penang. Reverend Mother St Levine, accompanied by Sisters St Sabine and St Madeleine, had come on a mission to establish a school in Kuala Lumpur. However, it opened to any races and religions using English as medium of teaching, and teach Christian rituals included saying prayer without forcing non-Christian students converting to Christian. After Malaysia gained independence, those schools have to use Malay language and no longer considered as Missionary schools. Other famous English schools built during British time are Penang Free School, Victoria Institution, St John's Institution, Malay College Kuala Kangsar, Tunku Kurshiah College and many others which are considered elite schools at that time.

    Stunning! Thank you for this video. I'm going to Luxor in May but only have one day. Would you suggest Valley of the Queens over the Valley of the Kings? I'm not sure if both could be done in a day.

    • @widerworldtraveler
      @widerworldtraveler ปีที่แล้ว

      You can do both in one day IF you're not too affected by heat and do okay with stairs. May is hot. Both Valleys open at 6 am, if you can manage the early morning, that's really the best time to go. If you're okay with a fair amount of stairs, I'd do the Valley of the Kings first (spring for the tomb of Seti I - lots of stairs but incredible and the paid Rameses tomb - fewer stairs and beautiful) and then head to Valley of the Queens if you're feeling up to it. If stairs are hard for you, you could just do Valley of the Queens as it has far fewer and is a smaller total area to navigate. You'll probably want to do either Luxor Temple or Karnak also, but they are on the east bank, so getting between them and the tombs on the west bank takes some time. Karnak is grander but Luxor temple is fantastic too and much smaller (so easier to see with less time). I hope you have the best time! I really love Luxor.
