though TUR quite high at 67% this year, <1km should still be safe. Probably ballot 1-2km

Anyone can share if Rulang would require ballot for 2B for SG citizens less than 1km?

Mostly probably yes, ballot <1km 2B. Day 1 applicants not overwhelming but hard to predict day 2. If you have no other options, can try if 1-2km but risky.

Just called the school, the school does not want to reveal anything.

I also tried to call. They say they can’t see breakdown. Hmm..

I would imagine since balloting has been centralized the schools don't have to check for distance anymore by address. So maybe they are not given the breakdown from MOE (hope the distance checking is automated)

If I’m not wrong, phase 2B is not using the P1-IS system (the latter auto-fills based on your SingPass data).


2B is using a simple online form, which relies on user-inputted data. So technically the user can key in any random address. And no docs can be attached. So user can key in they are any church/clan member/GRL and the form will still be submitted.

I think there are school staff who are tasked to check the online applications that come in via this online form. Eg call the applicants to verify supporting docs like baptism certificates, etc etc.

So it is quite strange that the school staff cannot see or verify the distance.

Let’s wait for more parents to call more schools to see which schools are friendly enough to reveal.
