I have to make a guess here. If the court insisted that the poor lady is to be detained at the rehabilitation center to be brainwashed, it will provoke more anger against those who supported the ruling.

obviously, one will want the best for their children, especially in education. Residential schools do produce generally better examination results, but some say it is due to dubious methods. However, for the moment, one can only enter MRSM which allocates 10% of the seats for the normal Malaysians, remaining 90% is for the obvious group. » Read more: residential schools still limited to other malaysians
