Hi all,


Iam in bukit merah. I called Radin Mas & enquired abt the distance. They say Iam in 1km. So I would like to know whether i will fall under <1km or within 1-2km. Please help me.

You can find out from One Map:

Hi qms,


i tried onemap. It shows within 1km. I would like to know whether the school will consider it as within 1km or within 1-2km if i apply in phase2c. Else irrespective of the distance it will go for ballot if the no: of applns exceeds the vaccancies in phase 2c?

If onemap says you are within 1 km, you are within 1 km.

Did you use the School Query function, or did you try to measure the distance between your house and the school?

safer to check based on block number than base on estate name, as part of an estate could be out of the 1km zone

I check the distance between my place to the school. From my place, it states 0.64km; from the school, it’s 1.25km. Which one I should look at?

check with the directory of addresses within 1 km / 2km which the school has

Use the School Query function. It tells you which schools are in which distance category relative to your house.
