All About Home Addresses

Kluvs:

To some it may sound unconvincing, but it's really happening to my case no matter how much I dislike this situation! Can't bring myself to change my address to one which the property doesn't belong to me when I have one myself and staying in it at times. To summarize, what i'm hearing is husband & wife should have SAME address for primary registration and I need to sort that out with my husband. Frankly speaking, it doesn't make much difference in the address we use as they are near to each other... So no significant impact

What verykiasu2010 said is the right thing to do morally.

However, there are couples with different addresses in their NRIC. Having different addresses give them the \"flexibility\" to choose schools which they like. During P1 registration, in the event that a couple has different addresses in their NRIC, the address shown in the husband's NRIC will be taken.

There are people who abuse the system because of the loopholes. Verykiasu2010 was just trying to warn you against resorting to any \"tactics\" used by other parents. If found out, the consequences and impact on the child will be dire.

In the end, your child becomes the last to be processed, as yr situation is doubtful / complex. Other kids get in first before you. The chance of your child getting in may be jeopardised, if you're unable to convince the duty Officer on the spot properly, or call the Principal in to handle your unique situation.

This is not true, phtthp. Whether your child manages to get into the school has nothing to do with whether you are the first or last applicant.

if found out that parents are lying, they’ll expel the child out of school.

all eligible applicants in each phase / category will be tallied to see whether need to ballot or not. it is not first come first served ...... else you see parents Q up one week ahead and camp outside school gate :evil: :evil: :evil:

Thanks everyone for the concerns and alerts raised. In my case, I have no fear of kid being disqualified due to abuse of system and misuse of address and this is precisely why I dare to raise the question openly in forum. So apparentally what I’m hearing is couple having 2 different addresses DO post an issue for primary school registration. This I will highlight to my husband tonight and ‘forced’ to change as we have been having different address for many years since marriage and it never is a concern to us till now. Thanks all…

Didn't know that MOE were so efficient. I thought they would send you an auto-reply e-mail saying they would reply you within....72 hours?

hi,


My husband and I bought a place within one km of the school of our choice last year. But the apartment is still in the midst of construction. And hopefully, when my child registers for primary one next year, the project will be able to obtain TOP.

However, we might not be able to move in yet as its only TOP and not fully ready as we might need to do renovations and stuff. Thus, we cant change the address in our IC.

Will MOE allow me to use this new property address to register when the time comes? I can produce the purchase contract and all to prove that we hv bought the apartment like about 2 yrs back but they are slow in their construction.

Can anyone help to answer my above question? Thanks vm for the help!!
