If you want to opt out, you need to write to the HOD,PE (Mr Tan). He is a nice person to deal with, will encourage you to let your kid participate. Some FT will inform stds that it is compulsory, so read the form properly and see whether next year is it compulsory. Alot of parents thought that it is compulsory. You need to pay a small fee for this swimming lesson. It is heavily subsidised by the school. You can also volunteer in this event. For those opt out,the kids will still need to go to school but no lesson will be conducted.

Thanks, comfy. In that case, I may let her participate for the fun of it, exercise. Dd had already attained her Gold Swim Award some months back, that's y I thought if they are going to teach them how to swim, it might be a waste of her time. Since they have nothing else to do in school, might as well go, join her friends and have fun at the pool.

You are most welcome. Wow! your dd has already obtained Gold Swim Award, your dd is really \"good in study, good in sport\" in chinese (forgot how to say). Those who are really good in swimming, there will be a test/compeition and be given certificate. Yap, the kids would like that but I heard that for kids who are learning to swim might not benefit if the swimming coach just talk but no action. One of the instructors even talked about adult jokes (bee and flower kind of thing). Nowaday, kids are not so navie, they understand.

Wow cannot imagine if it were to happen to us. Surely break down & go crazy.. so did the kidnappers call back? Any follow-up/update from the Police?

Police Just Ask DH to Keep them Informed if They Call Again ....
And Have Nice-ly Asked DH if He can Assist to Catch them, if Given the Opportunity ....

DH has Agreed, But the \"Kidnapper\" Never Call Back Again ....

According to the Police, These Type Of \"PHONE KiDNAPPING\" Calls R Very Frequent, Happening ALL the Time ....

And We Got No Call / News About the \"Kidnappers\" Being Apprehended ....

However, We suspect-ed that They May Have SomeBody on the LOOK-OUT Around Our Home ....
HENCE the PARANOA After the Incident ....

Reason Being that,
5 Min B4 I Received the Call, My Eldest Son's Friend Left Our Place ....
They Might Have Mistaken Him to B My Son and Call Soon After ....

And Why Did't They Call Back Later As Arranged?
Could B their Lookout Realised the Game is OVER when they See Us Coming Back With ALL our Kids in TOW ....

When We Reflect Back, We Realised that It is REALLY EASY for these CROOKS to Get HOLD of Our HouseHold Info / Daily Habits ....

ALL they NEED to have is a HOME PHONE Directory ....

U Just Open the Page ....
And U Will B Able to FIND -
OUR NAME, HOME Telephone Number and HOUSE ADDRESS is ALL INSIDE for ANY Interested Person to See ....

And By Placing a WATCH at our Home, They Can Know How Many Kids, Boys Or Gals, whether Got GrandParents, Maids OR Not ....

And The Daily Routine of Going To-and-From School can B Establish Easily ....

AIN'T THAT SCARY ????
:!: :!:

Perhaps that why people moving into condo?

I am really \"amazed\" at the efficiency of the PH's admin during a crisis like that! I wonder whether they did something about it after that incident?

VERY MUCH DOUBT SO ....
ALL U Need to Do is To Read thru the Recent Threads on How The PH Admin Handling \"MUNDANE\" Day-to-Day Enquiry Experience By Other Mummies,
The Feeling is Very Much :x :x

So What Can U Expect In Times of Crisis????

So We Need to Take Our Own Precautions - la ....
:lol: :lol:

Ya, I know, was one of those mummies. :roll: I just thought maybe I could try and think more positively on the PH admin. Sigh...shouldn't have raised my hopes.

Wow E3, your dd is fast. My ds only about to be certified for level 2 of the SwimSafe programme. Think gold should be at level 6.

Funx3,


Your story is scary man! Luckily your dh managed to maintain his composure. PH admin surely can do better than that.

Come to think about it. It's even more scary if those thugs didn't return call because they knew that the game is up. That meant they were actually spying on your family :nailbite: . Iirc, the penalty for kidnapping in S'pore is mandatory death penalty.

Haha. Swimming, I don't bother much. It's up to her. I am only 'in-charge' of studies. Hehe. My understanding is all switched to the new swim syllabus now, which will teach life-saving skills. M not sure what level she's in now. Just let her continue on to keep fit lor. My no.2 started lessons this year. Our objective is just to let them have this lifeskill, that's all.

[Happy Mama]

Thanks all for your replies...


Wow if 4 times a week, that's very siong... :shock: Does that mean they have to stay back after school almost every day? Or is it conducted during school curriculum?
