Now Nan Chiau under Sengkang West SMC instead of AMK GRC. Think shouldn't affect most parents since one usually need to be within 1km to enter NCPS under phase 2b.

Agree. But with only SMC, there are so few schools now to choose from. For GRL, we can park our cars for free (7am-11pm daily) within the whole AMK GRC now, with Sengkang West SMC, it's so much less privilege. Same applies to priority flat selection etc.

The boundary for Holland - Bukit Timah GRC is also redrawn. Potentially Nan Hua Primary School & Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School will now falls under Jurong GRC


Looks like the parents here will have to eagerly wait for the details of where the lines are drawn to be out before they will know their fate

Good luck to all going on this GRL path

In that case next time should join what group so that the letter can use in any schools? In the case for those join in a GRC but after that it become a SMC which restrict their chances of the schools?

Currently or in the previous GE, Yio Chu Kang was taken out as a SMC from Ang Mo Kio GRC, now it rejoins but Sengkang West got kick out. In any case, I still can’t comprehend why Sengkang is still being divided into half (Sengkang West & Sengkang East) and can’t be a SMC by itself which will make it complete as a town. Sengkang East is under PasirRis-Punggol GRC. Imagine just across a road and we’re in different GRC. Weird.

I think the redrawing of boundaries will affect a number of parents who had chosen to take the grassroots road to phase 2b. I’m curious to know if MOE/PA/MP will allow any appeals to go through for parents who are affected and will be registering their kids this July.


I’m guessing they will not, as they would not want to open the floodgates. And I suppose in their opinion, parents still have the chance to register their kids in phase 2b - that privilege has not been taken away - though the schools available may have changed.

My sympathies to parents whose plans have been thwarted by this!

That was on my mind all the time. The same for Punggol, now they split Punggol into Pasir Ris- Punggol and Punggol East. I wonder which zone does Mee Toh falls under.

I can only say political boundary is always messy and make no sense to common people, except politicians.

I studied the map and it looks like RGPS, SCGS, ACPS and SJIJ (among other schools) are no longer in Tanjong Pagar GRC, but part of the new Moulmein-Kallang GRC.


ACJS appears to still be in Tanjong Pagar GRC.
