It seemed like RGPS is getting very competitive partly due to spill over from NYPS. But this does not mean that RGPS is not as good but NYPS is definitely more popular.


2 years ago was the last time where <1km can cruise in easily.

NYPS is co-ed - one of the reasons why it's so popular. Also there's affiliationt o NYGH for the girls.

A number of schools are going through balloting in the 1km across. Its expected when you have residential developments coming up all over the place and also a huge influx of foreign PR's. We've only ourselves to blame when we feel the pressure. The government needs to give first priority to Singaporeans and then PR's> The system needs to be fined tuned in favour of Singaporeans

Willow,
Did PH call you earlier? They called me and told me 57 applicants, but website states 58.

Same goes for NYPS and ACS prim, my friends told me 52 and 29 respectively, but website states 53 and 30. Umm, wonder where does the extra one comes from and why?

I don't think there's a rule against someone who owns a HDB, rents a private property and uses the address of the private property. Is there? The rule is against him if he rents out his HDB property. Correct?

No, that's wrong. HDB is for owner occupation, not for renting out unless you are out of the country and need HDB's approval. The reason obviously cannot be for applying for primary 1

I am emphasizing here that all cheaters should be caught! This is how NYPS suddenly have two more seats made available for Phase 2Cians. A good job done indeed which I think MOE or schools have to spend more effort in and if possible, introduce more severe penalty terms that can scare away all these cheaters including PRs.

I don't think the extra 2 seats was due to \"cheaters\", more because alumni found a more suitable school at phase 2C and decided to go for it instead.

Actually, HDB owners can rent out their flats, either whole flat or partially (ie renting out a couple of rooms) so long as they satisfy the eligibility conditions.

superduperks:

They can always falsely declare that my kid is staying w my so and so at thus address which owned by me. There are many ways out there for cheating parent to try. Unless MOE is willing to tighten their checks.

Agree that cheaters should not be allowed to perpetuate.
