But how exactly does a school plan for something like this? Limiting the number of PVs - yes. That works. But there are also clan and church and grassroots affiliations. You can't plan for those. I kinda have to agree with the person who said that MOE may be trying to minimise balloting, so as not to cause alarm and give the impression that the numbers are not out of control. I think in some cases, they must have let in more than the stipulated number of spaces available. JMO.

Yes, so how many more can a school let in, 2,3,4? :?

Maybe some who registered are on long leave of absence?
As in currently overseas and only coming back in P2/P3?
In this case, can let a few more in first?

How do the schools check the distance ? Do they use ‘one map’? Asking because, there is minor difference in distances on streetdirectory, google & one map. Please let me know.

I think \"OneMap\" is official.
I saw they have a thick book with addresses printed in alphabetical order to check against.

Anyone knows what time balloting at Ai Tong is ?.

Pardon me, I am puzzled why some parents here asked about balloting time. If you are one of them, you should know since you would have received the letter from school. If you are not, why bother to find out the details?
