With all due respect, if you are not an affected parent, it is a theoretical exercise to speak of compromise, give and take etc.
Haizzz.
No wonder I have been having a hard time convincing my kids that in life there need to be give and take. Sometimes things just happen, just take it at their stride. The reply I get -- \"Why should I?? It's not my fault!!\"
Imagine this scenario, a kid was promised a lollipop but it turned out to be curry pok. The curry pok was stuffed down the poor kid's throat and when he protested that it was not what he was promised, he was derided as a strawberry kid because everyone could eat it but not him. -

they can say not interested in old folks may…..unsafe for 16-17 y/o only;
another ex-minister aged parents also live there. :evil:pirated:
if these 16 y/o are not trusted to even take public transport, how to trust them naming a JC? You may end up with Hamtaro JC or SpongeBob JC or some strawberry JC
On mt Sinai being unsafe this is utter rubbish. No far away is a minister with his beautiful wife living across the road. Where else can be safer ?
Bishan is more unsafe with the Bishan gay lurking around plus got molest cases ever at Bishan park right ?
:siam: :evil:

I suggest you visit the police HQ for that precinct and find out which areas of Queenstown is most troublesome and notorious before you pass judgement about the safety of that area. Mt Senai is not Tanglin Halt ok.sinoboy:
RGPS is still there. Not far away is Henry Park Primary. Lots of GEP students studying there everyday. Maybe those primary school kids don't know how dangerous it is? :scared:
Does a primary school student need to stay late in school as compared to a JC student?
The concern now is that with a number of blocks in Ghim Moh demolished and many of the remaining units rented out, the area behind the side-gate to the school appears deserted at night. Should this concern be real, a simple mitigating measure is to have well-lit paths. Tanglin Halt has a similar problem and in the span of the last few months, a number of assaults took place there.
Let there be precautionary measures, and not wait for a tragedy to happen and then simply attribute that to \"unforeseen circumstances\".

The issue of safety was raised as a point for affected parents to be mindful of but interestingly, this point was immediately seized upon and again used as a lever against the parents and their children.We stayed in RJ library till closing time. Was it 9 or 10pm back then? Even if the blocks are currently demolished, another 2 years down the road still status quo meh? tragedy can happen anywhere la. don't want tragedy, home school the best.
cannot talk about distance, now talk about safety in the area. :faint:
If really like the Bishan AMK area so much, go and ask for the empty school building at AMK St 23, former holding site of several pri schs. Decent but no lecture theatres, no track, no lab. near sngs. near cat high. -

because Mt Sinai is actually safer than most places in SG. this is an objective fact

But I think the 'criminals' lurking around that area prefer 16-17 y/o compared to easy money from aged residents.
