      It took immediate effect upon PM's acceptance of the recommendations from Elections Dept. If you login now via Elections Dept web, you will notice the change for individual if you're being affected by it. For my case, instead of AMK GRC, now becomes Sengkang West SMC.

      New SMC... confirm Opposition come... more work for GRL to do... good luck! šŸ™‚

      Well, I am looking forward to their appearances! Ha..ha. It's been quite quiet in the past elections. In 2006 GE, though WP challenge PAP (Lee Hsien Loong) in AMK GRC, I didn't see them coming to Sengkang West, maybe it's too remote for them...

        [quote=\"blurblur\"]Hihi, does it mean that these new boundaries already apply to 2011 P1 registration for 2012 intake?

        Pardon my ignorance but I've just encountered an unexpected change in GRC and have a boy to register in July so I'm at a loss!
        Does this change only apply after the elections or already effective now?
        :?:

        I believe many others are in the same shoes as you... given that Tanjong Pagar GRC has most of the popular schs... only MOE would have the answer...

        Thanks Daddy D and timtim for your quick responses! I'm overwhelmed! :celebrate:[/quote]
        Damn, guess my choice of schools are also affected. I just hope that PA would be fair to the GRLs who are already serving the GRC since two years ago.

          Does anyone knows how to read the index/ know where to get the exact reference of the index of the location in the mentioned map?


          http://www.channelnewsasia.com/annex/2011map.pdf


          For eg: TP03 in Moulmein-Kallang GRC means? I know it's in Toa Payoh, but does anyone knows exactly which areas or blocks of flats & schools fall in that area etc?

            I doubt PA can do anything on this. They will say you will still have several of schools in the GRC for you to choose from

                You can compare it using your street directory. Else can just wait for the details to be published. I bet Straits Times will illustrate out the new maps in the next 1-2 weeks. Previously they publish the map for each existing GRCs/SMCs

                  Good news if staying within the new GRC/SMC of your preferred sch... cos' all the GRLs would have been forefeited, if really the case..... :celebrate:

                    With all these changes, likely P2B application ratio for the popular schools will drop this year and next year. Existing GRLs are not eligible anymore and those staying in the new GRC/SMC don't have the time to join as GRL

                    The ratio will probably go up again in 2 years time

                    every election will cause a reset on application rate on this path

                      It will be interesting to see this year's P2B results. The lucky ones would be the rest of the groups in the P2B like PV and clan/church members. They could jolly well face lesser competition since the GRL group may be affected to a certain extent. P2C would be super duper competitive since all the \" newly disqualified\" GRL would all go into this phase to \"fight it out\". Whahahaha.......

                        From the decreased numbers, we can gauge how \"popular\" is this GRL route or how many GRLs applying via P2B

                        Now without this GRL route, the competition of joining PV will be increased.

                        Doubt those GRL will join in P2C. The reason of them going via GRL route is likely they live more than 1-2km of their choice school. If they compete in P2C, likely they will lose out. If based on history, there is no balloting for P2C, then they would even join as GRL in the first place
