2018 P1 registration exercise for 2019 intake
-
One article mentioned that long time ago, the max possible fine was only $1k. And they raised it subsequently. So there is a precedent for increasing the penalty.
Perhaps, in future the penalty calculation should be more than the cheapest 2BR rental x 30 months? -
\"In cases where the verdict is finalised and the parent is convicted of the charge, the child who was previously registered in a school based on false information would be transferred to another school with available vacancies,\" MOE said on Monday.
In this particular case, the ministry said it will decide on the \"best course of action\" for the student \"at a later stage\", as the parents have 14 days to appeal against their sentences.

Zappy:
the parents still want to appeal?\"In cases where the verdict is finalised and the parent is convicted of the charge, the child who was previously registered in a school based on false information would be transferred to another school with available vacancies,\" MOE said on Monday.

it's grossly unfair for the child to remain in the school for another day.
if parents can be jailed for not sending their kids to school, they should also be jailed for lying about their home adddress. -
If the child is not transferred out, will encourage other parents to do the same. Yes, please transfer the child out.
Anyway, if I am the parent, also paiseh to let my child stay on. The child also paiseh right?? -

Well, they CAN appeal. I doubt they will, though.
the parents still want to appeal?

From the article, I'm guessing that MOE will wait for the 14 days to lapse then see if there is an appeal before taking the next step. Otherwise, if they transfer the kid out and the appeal happens to succeed... then transfer back in? -
zac's mum:
Do you all notice those cheating case are usually related to Affliated schools like MGS, SCGS, Nanyang (girls are affliated to NYGH)?
I’m guessing either Catholic High or Aitong. The previous case (with jail time for the father) was MGS I believe.
these popular schools have detectives and their \"secret agents\" network working quietly in the background on how to fish out P1 suspects (parents), particularly from those who registered under Phase 2C, balloted under less than 1 km, of popular schools in demand.
so parents who pre-mediated cheating, through lies to policemen, lies to Moe / school authority, who intentionally, boldly self-test the extent of efficiency of this \"detectives / secret-service agents (school policemen) installed\" system, ought to be mentally prepared for embarassing consequences, the moment they get caught.
eg
the parents' faces can become centre-spread of focussed attention in newspapers, if they get caught.
their colleagues, bosses, relatives, friends, neighbours will know who they are, once they become national news on paper.
there's a Chinese saying :-
min zhi zhong you yi tian hui bei zua dao, na you he bi dang chu ? -
lee_yl:
is the kid boy or girl ?
The day when the couple decided to cheat, they should have expected such a punishment should they be caught
if girl, is Ai Tong
if boy, can be either Catholic high or Ai tong
newspaper mentioned VP discovered wrong address when kid was in P1, why still let kid remain in school until now P3 ? More than 2 years already, still there. strange, isnt it ?
is the kid of Gep quality, so the delay let kid remain there, until p3 Gep tests over ... ?
the risk is $ 9k. For these rich parents staying in a bungalow in Serangoon garden, worth it ?
20 years from today, when kid grow up, get married, kid can use back old report card to get his / her children admitted under Phase 2A (1), alumni phase, into this prestigous, popular, hot-in-demand school, one more time.
after all, his / her report card proved evidence that this kid had studied in this school, for 3 years already ...
so, 9k is definitely worthwhile
Why ?
because if u spread out 9k over 6 years (p1 to p6), over total 48 months, how much are you paying per month ?
$ 187.50
compare this to those who rent house over 30 months period ... -
It’s a boy.
It would be blatantly unfair for the school to recognize him as an alumnus for his future progeny’s registration. Maybe the school will have a black mark against his name to bar him from joining as alumni member. -
why is there a need for MOE to wait for the appeal? they have every right to transfer the child out immediately. the parents are guilty of cheating. appeal based on whether the child’s results?
not only should the child be transferred out, he/she should not be given the right to enjoy phase 2A in future. -
zac's mum:
how they going to keep track, black list this kid's report card ?It’s a boy.
