2012 P1 Registration Exercise for 2013 In-Take

[zoolet]

The only change I hope for is to abolish the use of rental address. They should only allow genuine rental to use the address. That means the rental does not own any other apartment. They should state that the addressees must stay at the address for at least one year. It is crazy for parents to send their kids to school that is far from their home. Don’t parents know that to have good concentration power a good night rest is needed? Why stress the child on such extreme? Read from this forum. I can’t believe parents make their children to go through such situation. Staying at sembangwang and travel all the way to clement for school. The world is crazy! No. I shouldn’t say this. The world is fine. Society has gone crazy. When we were studying overseas, We would try our very best to find a place near to campus. It is crazy to travel more than an hour to reach school. By the time u reach school, u will be totally run out energy.

the issue is … when people rent house, how come this rental address can appear on the SG pink IC ? because during P1 registration, the officers in school examine the child’s Father’s address on the pink IC.


all along, i thought that the address shown the Father’s pink IC is the permanent residential address.

how on earth did those rental people rent a house <1km near to hot, popular schools … overcome this loop hole somewhere? That’s why surprising this year <1km from hot schools, so many people can apply ?

Next year, will be registering for DD. staying within 1pm from TN and Ngee Ann. Looking at this year result, decide to register with Ngee Ann under phase 2B next year though she is also eligible to register with TN for that phase. At least I am assured of a place with Ngee Ann.

Why not? You rent a place, you go to the police station, you change the address on your IC. Done.

aiyoh! alamak!


so easy can change address on pink IC. No wonder this year so many renting <1 km from hot schools can apply.

then MOE should verify all those <1km … check pink IC address not good enough, but also bring down the ORIGINAL Title Deed for the house. If you are a tenant renting the place, you can’t possibly hold the Original Title deed of the house. Only the owner has it. gosh!

That is the reason why I am afraid. Both my hubby and myself are old boys/ girls. If phase 2A is to be balloted based on distance, then I am siao liao :yikes: . Coz I am slightly outside 2km for 1 alumni school and more than 3km for another alumni school.

So should I rent or relocate?

Hey phttp, I think this also applies to you yeah.

So I really pray that the policy do not change from now till next year. :nailbite:

Well, we may never know for sure. When policy kicks in, no one can do anything about it.

It is entirely not true that alumni parents are not doing anything. I have contributed in my ways as an alumni way before my child was even born. Each year, I contributed close to 200hrs based on the fact that I feel belong to my own school.

I think I need to seriously discuss with my DH what can we do to up our chance should there be balloting for phase 2A.

dear fellow alumni members from old boys & old girls association,


suppose one fine day P2A(1) and P2A(2) removed, what do you think will happen ?

do you think old boys and old girls will let the motion be passed like that ?
