[Novena] Primary Schools

Just to clarify for those who are getting lost among the trees. Very simple. I have no issue with genuine residents in the area competing for a place in whichever school they try to get their kids into. I have no god given right - but I do have more of a right (legally) than some. In summary:

1. Own and live in a property less than 1km for many years - no issue
2. Recently bought or rented a property less than 1km AND actually live there - no issue

3. Bought or rented a place for P1 registration BUT still living elsewhere within Singapore - illegal and considered cheating
4. Using a parents/relatives/friends address for P1 registration without filling out a statutory declaration as you will only be considered as a 1-2km applicant - illegal and considered cheating.

I shall pursue those in categories 3 & 4 as cheats. It will take a few weeks and will almost definitely occur after balloting - but they will get caught eventually. No doubt. Question rightly or wrongly that how is is this possible. But don't be so naive to think it's okay to cheat and get away with it.

Why do people have a problem in outing those who clearly cheat. This is part of the problem as to why foreigners prosper over us singaporeans - they act decisively when needed. When we do it - people pray for our downfall. Wake up!

My words may be strong but my actions are far stronger!
Your pt 3. Assuming someone has a few properties. All are pretty close to one another. However, only 1 is near to a good school and the family doesn't stay there. Instead, that place is a storage hub for the family. Is this consider a cheat? If you are in the same shoe owning a few properties, I believe you will also use the address that is nearest to a good school.

Your pt 3, there is nothing the government can do. They can purchase the property, stayed there till the registration is over, then move out or vacant it or rent out. At the point of registration, it is consider legal and there is nothing you can do. You have no case against them.

Your pt 4, again there is nothing the government can do. Nowaday, the property is so high, how you expect the young family to own a property. They have no choice but to stay with their parents/friends/relative. You have no legal stand against them.

All your points are not classified cheating. If you do not has the permission to use the address, it is consider cheating.

You are just wasting $$ engaging lawyer to fight an impossible battle.

I would suggest, find way to join the school committee. Get in by phase 2A. Don't just complain here.
