Opinions of the Primary School Registration System

Ninja Turtle:
Nope zakashi .... I wouldn't actually. I have integrity. What about you? I believe in playing within the rules.... Either you buy at that address rightfully by investing the money, and therefore earn the right to send your kid to the school in question or just send your kid where your true registered address is. It's simple as that. Anything else is underhanded and will be punished if found out will be severely punished.
I have several people whom I know did that and they were not caught. The system is really bad. We have less chance of getting into the school
because of such plan. We just have to pray for God's favour than. -

would any parents allow themselves be persuaded?
I don't think any parents at P2B can be persuaded/discouraged not to register. Why would anyone give up the chance if they had already put in at least 40 hours of hard work.
In P2C, school discouraging parents staying > 2km or 1-2km from enrollng could be highly likely. If the number of applicants < 1km has already exceeded the no. vacancies, it's a sound advise. -

The assumption here is that no parent would be persuaded to drop their application, especially for P2B when there is no religious affiliate, only PVs. Then I take my hat off to the school who manages to match the PV applicants to exactly the vacancies available.

Although I still don't really get it how the school manages to do that, if no other KSP or MOE officers think it is strange, then I also rest my case.
For P2C, yes, I will agree if lets say <1 km already go so many applicants sure got to ballot, then for those say >2 km, why even bother to register? In this case I say it makes sense to turn away those \"impossible\" applicants. -
I think in another 6 years, we may see the tier 2 schools catching up academically. Since the PRs have to now spread to the other schools. I believe many of the PR kids are smart and have the resources to do well (which is why the parents can be PR in the first place). So overall, I think over time it will spread things out.

We are actually competing with new SC now not PR. Can you imagine why there are limited vancacy and as a result balloting is required for P2B and P2C? This Wednesday we shall see the result.

First, what are your alternatives?hihi..
can anyone advise if St Anthony needs balloting for 2C? im staying within 1km and im abit worried coz in that area, St Anthony is a popular school in Gombak area...so stressed!!
If it is your alumni school vs saps, it is one bird in hand vs 2 in the bush. Check on last day noon to have a better feel.
If it is the neighbouring schools, u have nothing to lose balloting for a seat at saps as u r within 1km if u r SC. Dazhong sure will have vacancies. But if u intend to consider bukitview, your distance will put u at disadvantage if phase2cs have balloting.
Good luck! -
