Rough riders: Gang members creating a ruckus outside a school in Klang not too long ago. The ministry wants an end to this kind of indiscipline.

PETALING JAYA: The leaked list of “hotspot schools” around the country is a proactive measure to ensure that they get the attention they need, and does not mean they are bad or problematic, Deputy Education Minister Chong Sin Woon said.

The 402 schools on the list are at risk of disciplinary and drug problems, and the ministry and police are giving their full attention to protect students and stop such problems from taking hold, he said.
