S'poreans to get priority for P1 places during balloting

[hquek]

KSP:

I feel MOE should implement it in 2-3yrs after they announced to let those PR who have already PV in the school have their chance. I really pity those PR who have PV.

The impact is very sudden, true. but then this kind of thing some will be happy and others sad. If they say delayed implementation, can you imagine how many SG parents will be complaining to MOE becos PR kids got into the schools they were balloted out from?

Does that mean Jim Rogers' kids would not be in NYPS if this was implemented earlier?

\"A: I've moved to Singapore, my biggest investment is obviously Singapore, my personal investment - we live here, we're permanent residents, my daughter goes to school here...
We've looked at a lot of houses, we're learning more about Singapore. Right now, we have to live within one kilometre of Nanyang Primary, so that our daughter can go to that school...\"

You mean Jim Roger's children are in NYPS? SC found it so difficult but he could made it? Answer is $?

Not true, I think he was lucky in that in that year, there wasn't any balloting in 2B. He's loaded - yes, but he did fulfil that 80 hours requirement.

Not always, how abt 'gentle like a dove' ... Imho it depends on hw u put it in the phrase.. saying 'risilience like cockroach' is not the same like 'dirty like cockroach' anyway to its better not to use it in public posting to prevent misinderstanding...

Luck has got nothing to do with Jim Roger’s case. Here’s a man who’s highly qualified and intelligent. A ppp grad from Oxford university, he’s a famed long term investor.


This is what we can all call real talent! It’s a lost for us if he had chosen another country.

For popular schools in high density population areas, it will benefit SC within 1km.

For popular schools in low density population area, it will benefit SC either 1-2km and/or >2km.

We were being called dogs (who are faithful and loyal), but SX put it in a very unfavourable way and we were all offended. So being \"as resilient as a cockroach\" ....... well, 见仁见智。 Is it OT already?

In such a circumstances, I have to say nothing but some of you guys are not only as \"resilient as cockroach\", but as \"intelligent\" as rats as well. Please receive such appraisal in the right context, which you called 见仁见智. Period.
