Well TNS does this 3 times a year; For PV selection, phase 2B and phase 2C.Just came back from a super stressful 2B balloting at TNS!! Actually, the atmosphere wasnt as bad as i expected. It was quite friendly and normal. None of those dagger stares that i was expecting. Maybe the pricipal and all the staff made the process very smooth and user friendly.
I was expecting the confusion to happen when the name of a child was called twice (since this time round, there are 2 ballot slips for singapore citizens and one for PR) but surprisingly, there was a system in place for this and someone was keeping tab. A bell would ring when a name was called for the second time, hence allowing the parent drawing the slip to draw again! It was all very structured and systematic. Kudos to all the staff who made it seem like they've done this forever!
One thing to note is that TNS website stated 3 PR applicants but in the balloting, there were 4....anyway......
Congrats to all those who got places in this phase!
For those who didnt, good luck in 2C wherever you are going to register!
:congrats: to your sister & niece. :celebrate: but why isn't your sister a member here? :? -

Yes! Really nerve wreaking and I don't wish any parent going through this. You can see the joy of tears from some parents and the disappointment in others.Just came back from a super stressful 2B balloting at TNS!! Actually, the atmosphere wasnt as bad as i expected.

on behalf of my sister to all here, thank you for the well wishes!
Phase 2C will be a lot worse due to the spillover from phase 2B.
and BTW, 2 things to note:
1) TNS has never had a history of balloting for Phase 2B <1km.
2) This is the first time that Singapore citizens get 2 ballot and PR, one.
So you can actually say TNS is doing this for the "first" time…imagine the logistics behind this… -
