I am sure the authorities did listen to the affected property owners' grievances in those cases but were firm in their stance for the benefit of the majority in the nation.
Agree it is not a matter of honouring their words if there are valid reasons to the problem. These are just angry words. Not listening to the property ownners does not mean they should just continue not to listen...are we living in the imperialism world? The resolution can be open for discussion by first understanding the impact on the people affected, especially when there are 2 changes in the announcement. Allow the aggrieved people to make their case and the authorities to convince them.25HMOM:

Do the authorities have to honour their words and address your concerns if they have their reasons?
Look at those property owners who are promised 99 or 999 years of land leasing and but still have to relocate due to some unforeseen government's projects.
Shouldn't the affected parents and pupils seek their respective principal for explanation first? We are talking about three school leaders but none know the exact situation nor 'fight' for their students?[/quote]How do u know they didnt do anything?[/quote]
Yes they towed the line ; hands are tied . -

Aiyo, that's what we've been saying all this time, peeps!
Didn't know dhs was there too....that is far!!Sun_2010:
You left out NUSH and DHS ...

I think the biggest difference is that the new JC doesn't yet have a collective identity, so students from the 3 schools don't have a sense of solidarity and are not united - fraternally - in a common vision and mission. In contrast, DHS IP has a strong heritage and 德明人 are known to be brave/resilient (“勇”）and fiercely loyal (\"忠\") to their alma mater (\"一生德明情“). Their affected batches might have been well-primed and \"conditioned\" by their dedicated Principal and staff (and possibly alumni, board members and parents support group) prior to the relocation to Mt Sinai.6. Needs to convince MOE that new JC kids need more time to rest and prepare for A Levels, as compared to students from DHS, NUSH and RJC who also lived in various parts of Singapore but had accepted similar arrangements before.
[quote]On 31 July 2004, MOE announced that Dunman High School would offer a six year Integrated Programme (IP) or the Dunman High Programme (DHP) that leads directly to a GCE A-Level certification. Dunman High School is the first government secondary school to offer IP, the announcement signaled MOE’s strong confidence in the school to provide a top class education. The school’s 6th and 7th principals Mr Tan Thiam Hock陈添福 (1998-2004) and Mr Sng Chern Wei 孙振炜(2004-2009) respectively played an instrumental role in conceptualizing and implementing the 6-year Dunman High Programme. 2004 also produced the school’s fourth President Scholar – Mr He Ruijie.
In 2007 and 2008, Dunman High School underwent PRIME (Programme for Rebuilding and Improving Existing Schools) and was temporarily located at a holding school situated in the former Raffles Junior College campus at Mt. Sinai Road.
In January 2009, Dunman High School’s new premises have expanded with many state-of-the-arts facilities such as an 850-seater Performing Arts Centre and Life Science Laboratory. In 2009 Tan Baojia who belonged to the first batch of IP students was awarded the President’s Scholarship. Since 1976 the school has produced five President’s Scholars. All the five President’s Scholars achieved sterling academic results, possessed a keen interest in a variety of activities, knowledgeable, as well as demonstrated outstanding leadership qualities. Additionally, they were individuals with good character and personality. Dunman High has nurtured countless students into good citizens who have contributed much to society and the country. This has been and will continue to be the driving force for all staff and students to strive for excellence in all their endeavours.[/quote]http://www.dunmanhigh.moe.edu.sg/about-dhs/school-history/school-history-2000s/

Dunman had a high calibre principal then. That is one major factor to have the stellar results. High cutoff point means students quality might be better from the start. Whereas this new JC a lot of students might just be looking to skip the stressful O level exams and they are happy already. :siam:

The difference could be one group was told of the move before they applied and went in with open eyes and the other group went in thinking of the promised sites so please dont anyhow jump to conclusion. If everything is transparent and reasonable , I don't think people would resort to petition like the fernvale case. -

U mean the cutoff for the new ip prog is low? Oh pls...
It's not even easy to get into their o level track. Looks like there are plenty of parents here who don't believe in their children's ability and that extra traveling time will make them do worse. The new strawberry generation is born.
Once u get to JC, it doesn't matter who is the principal. Whether u get the As or Fs aren't because of the principal. -

How can you say Principal of a Junior College not important ?

P very important !
if P weak : the staff Teachers see P as weak, adopt a \"bo chap\" teaching attitude, who suffer in the end ?
will be the students
but if P is strong : able to provide good leadership at the helm, teaching staff dare not anyhow \"bo chap\", teachers walk the extra mile to teach students, students benefit from good quality teaching staff, produce better \"A\" level results
real life example
count the number of Junior Colleges, we have in Sg
we have quite a lot
but why only a few JCs always produce good A level results,
the rest of the JCs ? some JC students after A level, can't even enter university
what is the reason ?
part of the reason is because of the Principal leadership
whether students get \"A\" or \"F\", depend on a few factors :-
- depend on quality of the student himself / herself,
- depend on the quality of subject Tr teaching the subject,
- depend on the Principal provide leadership, at the Top
eg: is the P able to motivate her staff well ?
