Opinions of the Primary School Registration System

Hi markfch
Think 2A is for old boys/girls. So can’t change too much.
Yes we can’t assume 2B is all for Singaporeans. But there was concern that alot of PVs are some FTs. They can do PV while our locals need to feed not just kids but maybe old age parents too. How to compete ?
While there were also concerns from various parties on churches / clans etc are invaded by FTs.
What I am proposing is that we collapsed 2b/c to one and all for Singaporeans only. FTs will go with another round of 2c. The ratio for locals should be much more than current. To get the ratio. Moe should publish the ratio pf locals and PRs for the past 3-5 years.
Nevertheless. Just my simple way. Maybe the smart administers at ministries already got better solutions.
We are just trying to give locals a better chance at our choice of schools. By giving 1 extra slip does not really help. But place FTs in a later stage will at least ease some pains. -
actually, just thinking aloud, the FT / PR should be given priority (ahead of every citizen) since they are the ready-made babies that we singaporeans have not been able to produce, and they are here to help rejuvenate the aging population, to lessen the burden on our kids in the future to support old population
we should thank them for bringing them to us saving us lots of trouble and pain .......
haha haha, okay this is random and against the grain, talking nonsense, and sounds like sacrilege man ........ I can see stone flying at me now ........ siam ah ......... :siam: :siam: :siam:
just feel very random today ....... -

Our GLCs are not big enough to provide employment for all the locals in the workforce. In short, we need foreign investments to keep going; and foreign investors will want to maintain the fluidity of the labour market before they are tempted to invest here.
How do we tell the foreigners, we want your money but er, we don't want your people here? What's the use of having a higher chance of letting our kids enrol in the NYs, RGs of our pri sch - let's face it, even w/o PR, most of us will still be unable to enrol our kids in our 1st choice due to limited supply - when dad and mum are going to be unemployed for the next 2 years?
This education impasse and our economical dependency on foreign investors is inter-related, they are not compartmentalised issues. I wish more people are willing to actively consider this factor.
Hopefully I'm totally wrong in this, and we'll all be alright and all get into our dream schs. -

Well, if Japanese firm employee Japanese and American firms employ Americans.. then no issues.. But it is not the case now..
How do we tell the foreigners, we want your money but er, we don't want your people here?
Japanese, American, German, Swiss and Singapore firms are employing PRCs, Pinoys, Indians, Thais.. And for PMETs positions.. that is what many locals are not happy about. -
Some pple suggested removing P2B… I kena support this…
Instead of having P2B, juts give them extra 2 slips for PV, extra 2 slips for Clans associations GRLs etc… More fair isn’t it? And they still get their "priority" in the form of extra ballot slips. -

If I were replaced by a foreigner asking for half the pay I was drawing, I too will be bitterly disappointed. And if that happens to me when I'm middle age, it's going to spell even stormier weather ahead. So I get what you mean on this.

I'll support removing P2B as well if we also remove P2A. Just give people in P2A 4 slips of paper. Why should people in P2B suffer the blunt of the changes?Some pple suggested removing P2B.. I kena support this..

Even more fair isn't it? :evil: -

Govt encouraged China Chinese to Singapore, in the hope they can produce more babies unlike their country where only 1 is allowed...but they are not giving birth to more kids. Reason being...they don't have anyone looking after the kids with both parents working. They also find costs of living very high here.actually, just thinking aloud, the FT / PR should be given priority (ahead of every citizen) since they are the ready-made babies that we singaporeans have not been able to produce, and they are here to help rejuvenate the aging population, to lessen the burden on our kids in the future to support old population

May not be true. Based on the extremely limited cases I see, couples come here with 1 or 2 young children, and then proceed to bring their parents over here. So we may end up with 4 adults and only 1 child. How to rejuvenate aging population like that?actually, just thinking aloud, the FT / PR should be given priority (ahead of every citizen) since they are the ready-made babies that we singaporeans have not been able to produce, and they are here to help rejuvenate the aging population, to lessen the burden on our kids in the future to support old population

No comments on P2A..... but someone mentioned that the old boys and girls of that school could have contributed in some way to the schools.... which kinda makes sense..
I'll support removing P2B as well if we also remove P2A. Just give people in P2A 4 slips of paper. Why should people in P2B suffer the blunt of the changes?

Not entirely unrelated like clans associations or GRLs..
