S'poreans to get priority for P1 places during balloting
-
Sun_2010:
Proposing a country to hv first class n 2nd class citizen is dangerous. Also when someone try to define who is pure citizen it will lead to argumentation abt who are the indigeneous ppl, some ppl claim to be the pure one as their family hv been here for more than 3 generation while other may claim they are the one as none within their bloodline hd mix marriage with other nationalilty etc. it is indeed a madness.. instead of creating division, shouldnt everyone teach n give example to their children that unity within the nation is important for the survival of the country n nation. Singapore is small country that need to work together with other nation, anti foreigner sentiment is not healthy for the nation n parents dont realize that children will pick up their sentiment too..
Same feeling here Funz. :sad:Funz:
Cannot wrap my head around what I am reading here. Are we becoming so prejudiced.
Wanna go by degree of purity? Were your ancestors here when Raffles landed? Were they here during the war?
:sad: :sad: :sad:
It seems As long as one is on the right side of the criteria all goes....
What if both parent SC but one of the grand parent is a foreigner.
What about single parent case ?
How to distinguish between converted SC and born and brought up in Singapore SC and born in singapore but brought up else but now back in Singapore SC? Surely they are all different.
Sanity can get lost in this madness... -

See whether you will tolerate or intolerate if your child cannot get into the school you want.
If my child cannot get into the school I want, I wouldn't say it was because of PRs/foreigners alone. Maybe it was because my child does not have a sibling in the school currently/previously; I am not an alumni; I didn't sit on the school board; I did not PV; I did not live within 1km or I simply did not have the luck in ballot?
Who is to say our children will sure get the school we want with the removal of PRs/foreigners from the ballot pool?
Please don't blame everything that not going our way on PRs/foreigners. -

If I may be blunt, you are looking at it from a totally myopic perspective.
Life is not only about getting your kid to \"the school you want.\". It's more about LIVING it.
My 2 cents. -

Walau jialat. I only can trace back 2 generations, you can trace back so much more. That makes your descendants more purer than mine.

That means that under the new \"proposed\" rules, your decendants will have more chance to enrol in NYPS than mine. BAD, MAD, SAD :stompfeet: :mad: -
I propose 3 classifications of Singaporeans…
(1) 14K (everyone else)
(2) 18K (descendant of Parameswara and his men)
(3) 24K (descendant of local orang utan, here before Parameswara arrived) -

Can I pull string ornot? I shook Ah Meng's hand before leh (I got the photo to prove it).
(3) 24K (descendant of local orang utan, here before Parameswara arrived)
So I considered 20K? Below orang utans but above humans? :faint:
