===Malaysia=== [[File:St. George's Institution, Malaysia 2.jpg|thumb|left|[[St. George's Institution, Taiping|St. George's Institution]] (1914)]] [[Malaysia]] has a number of grammar schools, a majority of which were established when the country was under British rule. They are generally not known as "grammar schools" but are similarly selective in their intake. Among the best known being the [[Penang Free School]], the [[Victoria Institution]] (Kuala Lumpur), [[Malay College Kuala Kangsar]], the [[English College Johore Bahru|English College (Johor Bahru)]], [[King George V School, Seremban|King George V School]] (Seremban) and [[St. George's Institution, Malaysia|St George's Institution]] (Taiping). Mission schools set up by various Christian denominations paralleled the selective state school albeit not with the same degree of selectivity. Notable mission schools include the [[La Sallian educational institutions#Malaysia|La Sallian family of schools]] and those set up by the [[Marist Brothers]] and [[Methodist]] missionaries. Before the 1970s when Malay was made the medium of instruction, many such selective schools became known for providing excellent English-medium education and have produced many notable alumni, including former [[Prime Minister of Malaysia]] [[Najib Tun Razak]] ([[St. John's Institution]]) and all five of his predecessors.
