I do not think this friend of P1Mummy is foolish to the extent ... that he / she is not afraid of getting sacked from his/her \"iron rice bowl\" by MOE if found out, for anyold how release / leak out highly confidential info to public, just to help P1Mummy lay hands on p&c info.


All civil servants need to comply by code of conduct, if they want to remain working inside.

Also good lah, MOE can take this opportunity to weed out these equally unethical employees.

Maybe affected parents can lobby for the following:-

1) Priority to SC
2) Priority based on distance (within 1km, 1-2km and >2km)
3) If there are more than 1 SC within 1km, then the 1st in the queue who qualifies get the place.

The queue list should be made available for inspection to all potential transferrees to ensure transparency. When a vacancy arises and a student is admitted, it should be recorded there for all to see.
We don't want to see any sleight of hand by the school especially now someone comes here to say she got connections! :evil:

The schools are not accountable to those on the waitlist, especially when those on the waitlist are not even parents of the students in the schools. The schools just need to be accountable to MOE. So long MOE allows the schools to have the discretion as to who to admit when vacancies arise (and after the P1 registration), the schools need not be so transparent about how they select.

You are suggesting this because you might be on the waitlist. But put yourself in the shoes of the school principals and MOE, would you like to be so transparent until your hands are so tight up and others start to find fault in you? There is no one system that satisfy all parents. And this is a zero-sum game - when demand more than supply, one parent's happiness (get into the school) means another parent's disappointment (cannot get into the school).

Thanks verykiasu2010 and dimsum for the heads up. But I got a feeling P1 mummy's postings might have deterred a few who had intentions to try something funny.


Personally, what bothers me most in this thread is all the not so flattering chatter about BHPS. Whatever the posters' intent, let's not talk down a school. Time to duck again!

for helping P1Mummy, what advantage or reward will this person get, if not get sacked by MOE ?

All civil servants need to comply by code of conduct, if they want to remain working inside. If P1Mummy manage to lay hands successfully on p&c info, believe MOE will trace all the way back detective work - Who exactly inside the Ministry has helped her obtain such important info ? Once the culprit is discovered, this person have to face the boss ( Head of MOE ) and explain why perform the deed.

:rotflmao: another scandal in the making ? a la IT contract scandal ? you think so ah ? :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

I'm suggesting this for transparency and best practices sake. I'm definitely not going to be in the waitlist. Maybe you are? and perhaps contemplating to enter through some unconventional means? :skeptical:
