Not likely. Some forummers mentioned that if the school's bookshop is run by Pacific, you may order the books online. Alternatively, if you are a member of Popular, you may like to collect the booklist, and buy the books from Popular instead. You will get the member discount. You may also order online from Popular. -
ic... alright.... tks for the info...

Phase 3 result is out! So unexpectedly another 21 schools required balloting for foreigners! Did MOE do the sum to see if the number of vacancies are enough for foreigners? I canβt imagine what would happen a year later when some foreigners become PR here and compete in the eariler phase. I no longer believe the birth rate of Singapore to predict a school need balloting or not!
If MOE is not going to change their policy sooner or later, there would be more and more unhappy singaporeans. -

:scratchhead: By the number of working permit they give to foreigners? I thought those children would need to apply some dependent pass as well? If every year they can change the number of intake, they would have such info to get the proper estimates.

Competition is getting tougher year by year. Just like the more and more crowded MRT trains.
