      It will make the citizen's chances less actually. Reason is very simple, phase 2B is the grey area and PR will actually all go for this phase. Chances for citizen's at phase 2B will then be less. ...


      Dear moulin, unfortunately, I don't see the logic in your argument. By having an additional ballot, citizens' chances of getting into any Phase would be increased, albeit not \"doubled\" as it might imply. And the probability of qualifying for Phase 2B is the same for both citizens and PRs.

      Sorry, Chief, your survey result show more people think it was \"Bad\", and a lot of people think it was not \"Good\" (bad and neutral).

      Interesting! right?

        Can I check with the more knowledgeable… so 2 balloting tickets have to be put into the same school? Can I put one balloting slip in school A and another in School B in say, phase 2B? Tks.

          Hi esmummy, 2 balloting tickets would be in the school of choice. At any point of time, the child can only be registered in one school.

            Hi orange girl,


            Thanks for the clarification. Guess that means I join the masses in thinking that this "bonus" the gahmen throws to us is a vain attempt at keeping us contented. Not happy.

              Wonder what you meant by \"the masses\". When the government said \"balloting slip\", it meant one school. The scenario you mentioned in your previous post is a totally different issue.

                You can register in ONLY one school even if you can do PV in more than 2. As for the 2 balloting slips for Singaporeans, there are some lucky ones who got chosen not once but twice. My friend's daughter was the first one to be picked...along the way, her name was picked again...TWICE.

                  Sorry for the ignorance. So the balloting is done manually and in front of all parents whom are participating? :roll:


                  I think I might faint...........

                    Actually, I think that if the name was picked twice , this piece should not be counted, and thus this chance should be given to another parents.The schools should pick one more time.

                    Or the balloted twice piece was considered counted?

                    :?

                      Yes, balloting is done manually and in front of all parents who are present to witness the process.

                        If the child's name is picked twice, the second slip doesn't count.
