Most of these schools are highlighted and identified based on two categories, namely:
- Discipline (Category 1)
- Discipline with drug issues (Category 3)
According to NST, Selangor topped the list with a total of 76 schools. Meanwhile, Johor came in a close second with 63 problematic schools.
Other states worth mentioning are Negeri Sembilan with 40 schools whereas both Penang and Pahang listed 37 schools each.
Kuala Lumpur only had 22 schools being watched by the Education Ministry. However, ALL of these schools were on the list due to drug-related problems!
On the flip side, Sabah is the only state that wasn’t mentioned at all!
Education Minister Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid told the press that these schools were all on the hot list due to problems based on rates of high absentees, discipline, drug abuse, and also crime.
He said told reporters,
“The ministry will delegate power to the (education) directors to take further action, as well as set up similar committee at the state-level.”

According to NST, this list is actually leaked to them as they were only meant for the ministry and police’s internal usage. However, an official who declined to be named confirmed with journalists that this list was true.
