Ok I go do it.. Tomorrow ST headlines.. \" Crazy Man barges in Raffles Girls' Primary School Principal Office to Demand Waiver of Balloting\" .. You know who that is.. :lol: :lol: :lol: .. no lah.. I will go talk to the principal nicely..

Lionel! Lionel! Lionel! :udaman:

I heard that principals also read KSP. If I were the principal of RGPS, today I'll take mc to :siam:

I cannot imagine if all popular schools now need to ballot within 1km. In the future, MOE may need to issue a list of schools where those out of 1km need not apply. :!:


Good news for those who have properties within 1km of these popular schools.... :roll:

Supposing born and bred Singaporeans register their kids in hot schools, then PRs and newly converted SCs are also doing the same, hoping that the 2 ballot will work in their favour.

due to so many new condo and cluster housing around RGPS - Hillcrest Residences, Greenwood, Casabella, Duchess Residence, Duchess Manor, The Tresor, Shelford.....all these are within 1 km of RGPS which did not exist 6 years ago

maybe in the past pp blur blur and think RGPS sure no chance. so those hardy souls took a dare and got a place for their DDs. Now with ksp and what nots, pp are better informed.....and thus the change in fortunes. idea? :idea:

So those staying in Pulau Ubin cannot think of dream of getting into RPGS anymore.
