agreed. i feel so immobile in that area now......so congested

i wonder how these parents feel now when at initial thots of buying these hses there at hefty prices,
hoping to get into TNS but in the end still need to ballot.

:idea: Sell the house to next group of parents aiming for TNS and make a decent profit.

hehehe, so it pays to be KS and visit KSPforum in order not to be the \"next victim\"

Have the following qns hope you can help.


1. What to bring for the school registration? Child’s birth cert, parents IC and the immunization letter, that’s all right?

2. Would MOE know you apply to more than 1 sch on the same day? What would they do to your applications? any idea?

3. If TUR is more than vacancies, would you be inform by phone to go down for the balloting ? understand for TNS, the result of application is 13 Aug. Does that mean the ballot will be on 13 Aug?

That should be all unless you are using the grandparents' address for registration. The best is to check through MOE's website:

[quote]2. Would MOE know you apply to more than 1 sch on the same day? What would they do to your applications? any idea?[/quote]The registration process is computerised and online. You will not be allowed to register at another school without first withdrawing from the school you had already registered in.

Does that mean the ballot will be on 13 Aug?[/quote]You mean the APP is more than vancancies. TUR (take up rate) is at most 100%. The school will inform you should you require balloting. 13 Aug is the result for 2C for all schools, not just TNS. While the school can choose to ballot on an earlier date, so far it seems most will ballot on the result release day.
