        i also know of people who registered Ai Tong 2 years back by not being a PV nor a member of SHHK nor also GRC just get into AiTong without even balloting. so i guess a lot of under the table loh but all these are "hush hush" up,not spoken of. Now the lai yi ling case is she openly says out

          [quote=\"phtthp\"]郑惠玉儿子 转报 恒力小学 - is Henry Park.


          you're right.


          Hmm is she within 1km at Henry Park? My fren was there for the 2c balloting but didnt see her there nor she recalls hearing her son's name...

          i read from the chinese zaobao online that her hubby is an old boy of Henry Park. But the newspaper never mentioned if she registered under phrase 2A2 or not cos it seems newspaper just mention nanyang informs her that balloting for <1km. By the way when i read newspaper Lai Yi Ling ballot and got a place in Ai tong cos she is a member of SHHK and she dun need to do volunteer. i just get :stompfeet: Talking about privilege for these tv cast[/quote]Maybe they registered under 2A2 for Henry Park then was monitoring the situation for NYPS at 2B so in the end didn't even bother with NYPS as they are not <1km.

          I didn't know you have to volunteer hours to get the letter at SHHK?!! I thought it was only that you need to be a member for X number of years... :scratchhead:

                    Phase 2A is over right? Even if her hubby or her are alumni, they cannot apply through alumni now that the phase is over, correct? If so, should be Phase 2C and ballot to be fair.

                      That explains why they live near HPPS in the first place? The father probably grew up there and attended HPPS.

                        according to newspaper report - Philip Chionh was an old ex-alumni boy from Henry Park (the last line of page 2 states so.) His roots were from HPPS, had feelings for his alma mater, bought a house nearby.


                        http://edvantage.com.sg/edvantage/features/people/726034/Zoe_Tay_fails_to_get_son_in_Nanyang_Primary.html

                        so during the much earlier initial phase 2A, they had already registered their son at Henry Park successfully.

                        but at the same time, monitoring the tense situation for NYPS at 2B. In the end, because stay outside 2km, can’t smell any chance to ballot at all in NYPS.

                        hence now on NYPS waitlist, together with an extremely long, long list of many eager parents from (P2B PVs + P2Cs).

                        on orientation day in November, while some parents might crowd round ZT for autograph signing, perhaps ST journalists / reporters there as well, joining in the fun …. !!!
