MOE Relooking P1 registration - Too much priority to alumni

I also believe that we should look at parents citizenship since the child(ren) follow the parents wherever they go (or want them to go), not like they have a choice... And yes, both parent shd be SG citizens. I disagree with one parent being PR so that they can have the best of both worlds (retaining the other country's benefit as a citizen).

I think many malaysians PR have married SG spouse and enjoy that for many years.

Btw, this thread is about alumni....how come back to citizenship discussion? If wanna continue please go the the SG kids thread...

this would not be fair to families whose the foreign spouse applications to be Singaporean were rejected by the government.

Back to ALUMNI issue again…before mod gets angry.


Do we have a majority who agree that ALUMNI should stay ?
If Swiss Cottage Primary is still in existence, I would have sent my son there.

Swiss Cottage, yes I had some friends from that school. Lovely school, lovely campus. I wish that MOE would stop just closing down schools. If the enrollment for a school drops, they could merge schools, and have the newly merged recognize alumni fr both schools. It’s bad enough most of the neighborhoods we grew up in have disappeared, must our alma maters disappear too?

Sad to say, Swiss Cottage was merged with another school.
I had a great time there...if it's still around, I would register my son in that school. Lovely school and lovely principal.

Actually, i feel that 2A1 and 2A2 is almost the same.


We should keep this phase as we need to aknowledge that the ex-students makes up the history of the school tru hardwork. They contribute in every little ways they could while they are in school to bring up the standard of the school (not forgetting the teachers and principal), so why are we taking away it away?

Alumni should stay.

I think there is a high tendency for locals to link priority given to citizens and alumni issue because there is no clear objectives/ principles / directions given from MOE on matter of registration. Nothing has been stated by the minister so far, right? Hence people are still casting doubts, and basing their judgements on what they see happening around them.


Once this preference on citizen is out of the question, alumni or not becomes easier and clearer - at least it will be for me.
