Feel that really benefit the SC now for 2013 intake.
No changes in the Phase.
Is only the balloting that required in P2B and P2C.
Example as below:
Example 1: School A has 50 vacancies in a specific phase and 61 children applying, based on the table below.
Home-School Distance \tSC \tPR
< 1km \t38 \t3
Between 1km and 2km \t10 \t1
> 2km \t8 \t1
Total \t56 \t5
7As the total number of SC applications exceeds the number of vacancies, not all SC applicants will be admitted. The vacancies will be allocated to the SC children based on home-school distance in this order of priority – home-school distance is (1) within 1km, (2) between 1km and 2km and (3) outside 2km. In the above example, the 38 SC children living within 1km from the school will first be admitted, followed by the 10 SC children living between 1km and 2km from the school. After the 48 vacancies are taken up, the remaining two vacancies will be balloted among the eight SC children living outside 2km from the school.
8Example 2: School B has 50 vacancies in a specific phase and 54 children applying, based on the table below.
Home-School Distance \tSC \tPR
< 1km \t29 \t4
Between 1km and 2km \t15 \t2
> 2km \t3 \t1
Total \t47 \t7
9As the total number of SC applications is less than the number of vacancies in this phase, all the 47 SC children will be admitted first and PRs can still be admitted thereafter. The remaining three vacancies will be allocated to the PR children based on home-school distance in the same order of priority – home-school distance is (1) within 1km, (2) between 1km and 2km and (3) outside 2km. The four PR children living within 1km from the school will ballot for the remaining three vacancies.
10By giving SCs priority before PRs only when balloting is required, MOE will retain the underlying principles of the P1 Registration Framework, which reflect a careful balance of considerations, and provide for diversity in our schools, while according SCs a further privilege.
11International Students (IS) will continue to be eligible to register after SCs and PRs are placed, at Phase 3 of the P1 Registration Exercise.
Outreach
12Over the years, our schools have mounted a range of programmes to meet the diverse needs of our students. To help parents to know the teachers and programmes of the primary schools in their vicinity better, schools will hold open houses and talks before the Primary One registration. That way, parents can be better informed of the range of schools that can meet their children’s needs. We hope parents will then continue to work with the school that their child is enrolled in to achieve the desired learning outcomes. -
Mummy of 3, thanks for the info. I am impressed that MOE came out with this changes so fast.

oh yes, thank you for copying and pasting the information verbatim from the MOE website. mummy of 3. I'm sure all of us find it useful as we need not click on any links to read the changes. It's great that you kept the numbers of the paragraphs from the website and copied the table without the borders, i'm sure it made sense to everyone.
Just in case some of us would like to read the information from its source and with the formatting and tables intact, here you go:

Am so glad SCs are given priority over PRs! :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah:

:salute: :salute: slant in favor, we the citizens of Singapore pledge ourselves as ONE UNITED people -
Kudos to you, Mr Heng ! THUMBS UP !!!! YIPPEE ! SO HAPPY!
At least, you've spoken up for us citizens and done something back for us within your means of power and authority this generation, to help us re-gain back our righftful priority status LONG deserved. Well, this is the case in many other countries too. Priority always to own citizens first. You've addressed this concern well. We rejoice, a great BLESSED WELCOME! Wise Minister! WISE decision made!!! :salute: :salute:
:celebrate: :grphug: :hugs:
:rahrah: 
this goes to show that the ultimate objective is to:-
encourage more PRs to be converted into SC, boys to serve National Service next time, become great macho brave muscled men, to protect and defend the future of Singapore nation. -
YIPPEE! :rahrah:
no changes to my fellow alumni friends!
YIPPEE! :rahrah: on the changes to my fellow SCs! -
Hooray!!!

I believe these were planned for after the election. Not the drastic ones I had expected
-
Wow all PRs who bought within 1km of popular schools must be crying now. Didn't expect the govt to be so pro citizens suddenly. A very welcomed change
