      Wow like that the Principal would be invited to ICAC drink kopi already! :!:


      titank, too much HK serial? πŸ˜‰
      In Singapore, it's CPIB - Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau

      I don't think any principal would like to drink a cup of coffee at the CPIB office. Besides, principal's pay is so attractive, why would he/she want to risk all that ?

        Not too sure if this is a sensitive question but does anyone know if parents can possibly donate to primary school of their choice and to secure a place?

        I heard international schools allow that? But that's also because the expats have loads of $$$$.

        For PV, I've heard of some schools who ask parents to provide for certain projects for the school, the parents bear the cost, someone else does the work, and the parents indirectly clock that 40hours. Since Phase 2B is not guaranteed place as well if balloting occurs, imagine the agony of parents who suay suay did not get a place. sigh....

              Cannot lah. Ah gong ah ma also cannot, not say maid. Some schools only allow one parent to clock for the child, others allow both parents to do so.

                      NO, NO NO. It’s mentioned that either parent can do the PV, no maid,

                      ah gong or ah ma. This is the one time Singaporeans have to roll up their sleeves to do the dirty work.

                        :rotflmao: :rotflmao: so true.. dunno where our society moving even something to do for our kids also ask maid to do :stupid:

                        Oh dear, we are relying too much on the maid. I've heard of a someone who pays the maid a high salary but that maid is like a mother to the kids - cooking, cleaning, attending parent-teacher meeting and all aspects of child's homework. Er...just wondering who is the mother in this case ?
