This community had not progressed as well as the other ethnic groups in both socio-economic terms as well as in their academic performances Their academic performances in milestone educational examinations are below national rates. A tuition scheme organised by a Malay community social service group, was established to support the Malay students learning. This paper reports the findings of a cluster analysis that was used to explore how the students’ profile is associated with their academic performance.
