No use always using GE to threaten the govt
So ok 500 parents vote for opposition spread out in a few GRC?
How to use this to threaten the govt? Its just taking advantage of the right timing.
Those parents who are in LHL's constituency can be representative of this group to make your voice known. Afterall, didn't all of you say to meet LHL for help? Why is the Opposition Party getting involved here? Pls explain to an innocent, straightforward, simple mind like mine?

KSP:
can also attract students from KL (from 2022 onwards) only 90min journey...[/quote]Oh, so now is it Tuas or Jurong East better ?zeemimi:
[quote=\"pirated\"]So if they move RI to Tuas - are we expecting the entry standard will drop like a stone ?
Jurong will become the next Bishan .... -

Yep, agree too. That is why even though I am an affected parent, I have not signed the petition :siam:Erm, they are JC students by then. All 17-18 years old. So what's the issue of travelling? I used to travel from Yishun to Mt Sinai. And that was long before circle line.
Many of my friends travelled to Bukit batok just to go Hwa Chong.
They aren't primary school kids anymore. After that, the boys will be going NS and the girls will be going uni.
U need to let them grow up and be responsible for their choices. -

Children are tough and strong -if only we let them. -

Tuas? HCJC was top JC in 1980s but after it moved to Bukit Batok in 1988 and was there for a couple of years, RJC became the top JC and didn't you notice most top schools are along Bukit Timah Road.
Since there are even more choices now, why choose to go to the new IPJC when there are attractive alternatives? -
HCI - move to woodland.
NYGH - move to hougang
Raffles - move to Tuas
CHS - move to Changi or back to queens street
NJC - move to Ubin
ACSI - move to Bedok
Free up prime real estate for housing - SLA can collect more land premium and a better developed transport infrastructure all round
Not right for tax payers to pay higher construction cost per m2 at the previously designated location due to adverse soil condition, since they say additional designs needed ... just saying :siam: -

Errhmm, phtthp, you have put your mind and soul into this CHS SNGS SCGS issue but have you put your feet into the shoes of SJI?
If PM Lee say, \"let all the badly affected students from Yishun, Woodlands, Sembawang, Punggol, Sengkang, far North, Far East, use Bishan ITE premises\", issue with Mount Sinai would be settled, right ?
....
If your child not studying in these 3 schools, not staying in the badly affected areas, you will not feel the sense of urgency & panic, because you are not in their shoes, in the first case
You keep suggesting that Bishan ITE premises be 'returned' but that will involve four parties in the musical chairs instead of three.
What if a petition is also put up by SJI to our Mr President, whose alma mater happens to be SJI?

While reading the earlier posts, I was shocked to see that a parent actually thought that JC aged students still wanna take school bus to school and back home! I still remember at my age then, taking public transport is a sign of independence and we wouldn't be caught dead taking a school bus. It's so embarrassing. There was a shuttle bus to get into the campus from Buona Vista MRT Station. If there's going to be any shuttle bus, it will be from there.
It is just travelling there for 2 years. Really no big deal. ACJC also there what. Once in JC, the students will start travelling around singapore to get to their school. Not like expect it to be next door. Prestigious ones will always have their draw. If this new IP school can't even make the students travel there, it means it's a failure already. Pp staying in Jurong will gladly travel to Bishan to get to RI.
This used to be RJC's campus and many pp worked very hard to get in. The distance didn't affect their results so stop using that as an excuse.
