Sorry but do you mean 68 applicants for 36 vacancies? I am one of those whom daughter is registered at RGPS within 1km. Quite shocking to have to ballot.. 65 applicants < 1km for 63 places.

I just heard from cousin’s wife. 60+ students fighting for 36 places in NYPS. Sorry don’t have exact details. All these students are staying within 1km.

The ballot should then be held just for the 7 PRs!!!

In case like this, we SCs, after all the sacrifices, should be given REAL priority !

My goodness, can someone with connections appeal ?

I'm not even talking abt converted SCs. Real PRs with no roots here should not be given the same priority as us.

The 2 slip/1 slip thing is a false \"priority\" scheme. I have friends doing balloting in 2B, with all the PRs getting in!

ya lor, saw a couple (both blue IDs) one oriental and one angmo registering today at 4pm. feel like telling them to try international school…haiz, worst alot of new citizens also applied to both schools, 65 + 68 total. Like what LKY said, we have to accept the fact that they are here to stay, they will compete for houses, schools and jobs. Like the born and bred SCs, we are all immigrants one time or another…Sorry hor, I was born and bred here.

statistics showed that our birth rate was on the decline since 2002. When it comes to P1 registration, somehow the numbers don’t tally. Now we know who made up the numbers. Welcome to meritocracy…like what dark and tan SPR said online when we were complaining about 55% of the jobs went to foreigners (both resident and work permit holders), we have to make ourselves more marketable to compete.

Hope that we are all awake now…to the new reality…
