Education and healthcare are two of the most crucial factors that determine people’s living quality. As a former British colony, Malaysia has retained its traditional British education system, which places significant emphasis on cultural literacy and etiquette. The country’s Twinning Programme allow students to earn degrees recognized by institutions in the UK, the US, Australia, and other nations. This commitment to education is further evidenced by the fact that every Malaysian Prime Minister has historically held the position of Minister of Education.
Malaysia’s healthcare sector is equally commendable. As a popular medical tourism destination, it was awarded the “Health and Medical Destination of the Year” for the fourth time in 2023. With thousands of medical clinics and 33 medical universities, many Malaysian doctors are bilingual in Malay and English, attracting patients from across the globe.
Leveraging Malaysia’s rich resources in medical education and strategic location, Forest City boasts exceptional educational and healthcare amenities.
Forest City International School, the only overseas branch of the over 160-year-old prestigious American Shattuck-St. Mary’s School, was open since August 23, 2018, offering elite education from kindergarten to high school. In the 2023 academic year, over 90% of its graduates were accepted into world’s top 100 universities, underscoring the school’s commitment to educational excellence. On August 31, 2019, the school was designated as an SAT testing site, allowing students to take the exam conveniently at home. Forest City’s proximity to EduCity, with its cluster of world-renowned universities such as the University of Newcastle, University of Reading, and University of Southampton Malaysia campuses within a 15-35 kilometer radius, adds to its educational appeal.
With a direct bus route to Singapore, Forest City students also have access to Singapore’s rich educational resources. Premier universities like the National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University are excellent options for further education.
In healthcare, Forest City is making strides with the establishment of the well-known Asian healthcare management organization, Taiwan MJ Group, offering top-tier health management services to residents and tourists. Forest City is also engaging with internationally renowned hospitals and medical research institutions, ensuring world-class medical services for its citizens.
