S'poreans to get priority for P1 places during balloting

[Daddy D]

No more PR vying for priority/connection vacancies?

E.g. PV, GRL, Church, Clan…

Those worse hit by this news will be PR who have already shift to 1 km of the popular sch n have done 40hrs of PV. ...with the new changes they may not even stand a chance

No, the worst hit are those who shifted but did not do any PV at all. These people then really no chance if you're talking about any school remotely popular.

Erm, does that mean that the properties in the proximity of popular schools will drop eventually ..... thus inevitably dampening the whole property market as part of the trickle-down effect?

Maybe more SC will move to these hot properties instead of PR.

i doubt so, coz the demand will still be there for SG Citizens.

Wow good news for me! M staying within 1 km. ( in fact the school is just downstairs, less than 3 min walk. )


But what if let say left 30 places at the last phase but there are 35 SC which are all staying < 1 km?

All will get in?

Ballot among the 35 SC?

Or go by who stay nearest get in first?

30 places available with 35 sc living within 1km.

then have to balloting for all 35 sc.

should be ballot among the 35 SC. but chances of you getting in will be higher since no PRs to fight with you.

Could be... Lotsa of trickle-down effects...
All started with poor immigration policies...
To be unbiased... It's not the PRs' fault to begin with...

Still can, just don't target the super popular school that need balloting in phase 2B. As long as they target school without balloting at phase 2B, then will get in ahead of Sporean.

Those PR affected especially this yr P1 reg, may not even have enuff time to plan for alternate plan.

Actually I think the word ‘absolute’ priority in first paragraph is pretty misleading. At first I thought all singaporeans will get the places first, then followed PRs…regardless of any phase


Still better than nothing…
