End of School at Tanjung Malim

by SLLiew

All Malaysian schools have a standard uniform. For girls it is white and blue and for boys it is white shirts and dark green pants. Then all the school buses are bright orange yellow.Most schools are half days. Usually morning sessions. And some have either morning or afternoon sessions. So at the begiinning and end of school sessions, you will school buses, parents' cars or motorcycles waiting and haphazardly parked outside the school.
