I tot they would that Singaporeans would be given the vacancies below the PRs even if below 1km? Is there anywhere I can read about the allocation for phase 2c?

I think it's only SG gets 2 votes over PR with 1 vote.... no priority given.
Else is no ballot is within the enrolment #.

Thanks Daddy D, so it applies to both phase 2b & 2c respectively?

I tot those <1Km <2KM>All 40 within 1km, and 5 (btw 1-2km) goes in (PR or Singaporeans no difference). The 10 who live more than 2km goes to ballot for the 5 vacancies, SG get 2 slips, PR only 1 slip.

imagine 50 vacancies. 60 within 1km. 5 between 1-2km. 10 more than 2km.
-> 60 within 1km ballot for 50 spaces (again SG get 2 slips, PR only 1). Those out of 1km automatically disqualify, no balloting for them.

Painted only 2 scenarios to keep this short.

[tankee]

let me explain with an example


if vacancy is 40 and there are
- 30 applicants within 1km
- 20 applicants 1-2 km
- 10 applicants above 2km

the 30 applicants within 1km will all be successful (PR & Singaporean all successful).

the 20 applicants 1-2 km will ballot for the remaining 10 places since 30 taken up by within 1km. The Singaporean child will have 2 slips placed in the balloting bowl, while the PR child will have 1.

the 10 applicants above 2 km will all be unsuccessful, no chance to ballot at all.

Hi hquek & tankee, thanks for the great explanation. Is there anyone going for Pei Chun? Any idea what is the applicants like now?

...Supposedly those in 2B/2C dun wan to go thru the balloting... still can cancel n register with another sch b4 the regisration dateline?

yes. And that include those that have no chance to ballot, they should cancel and register at another school if they can.

OIC... then must keep calling the respective schs for real-time updates in order to beat the dateline and make the switch?? Sounds stressful...
