Torrential Rains Killed My Cow

Malaysia has three types of schools -
1) Public Schools (anyone can attend, no fees for education except the occasional Parent Teacher Association fund)
2) Private Schools (high fees, for better facilities, teachers are generally the same 'standard' as public school teachers)
3) International Schools (good education + dedicated teachers, a sure win, but expensive)

Us, from the public schools, generally view private school students as snobs who have filthy rich parents who pamper them, putting it shortly, we show hatred towards them, and not much respect too, they are thought to be stupid and selfish.

As for international school students, we don't put much thought into them, other than them being ang moh-fied kids.

Yes, I know it's not good to apply such stereotypes, but what can we do? We were given this mentality ever since there was such diversity in the schooling system.

I wonder what they think of us?
