I would say I heard it from a mother who has investment contact with the other parent who wants to enrol his child in that popular school. It's really a ridiculous amount but the ultimate outcome, I have yet to know.

Unless you have concrete proof that these two (monetary contribution and school admission) are linked, it is better not to spread what you heard because it is purely speculation.

I understand where you are coming from and appreciate your feedback. It's all right if you take my post with a pinch of salt.

I heard of one case. A very popular school, I can't name the school, in Bt Timah area, willing to admit a child if the parents can \"donate\" $XXX,XXX. 6 figure amount!!

I heard this type of pattern too.

Some asking for maintenance of tennis court and swimming pool. Or building the tennis court and swimming pool itself.
Anyhow, whether it is true or not. Eventually the swimming pool and tennis court were built in that school.
Just don't wish to break people rice bowl. MONEY is the power.

Can I know which parent is it and which school?
Will need to report to MOE! A must report case!

Such dishonesty which breeds their younger generation as society outcast and vermins.

we are not sure if above is true or not.

but if it's true,
still, the donation is used to benefit the entire school, didn't it ? (not into personal pocket)
Pupils can practise swimming in the pool, pupils can practise playing tennis in the court.

Usually both parties have to read between lines. Principal doesn’t state the figure likewise the parents.

P may says ,’ our school needs some IT stuff for students to enhance their knowledge, …or Our school needs to upgrade this facility,…
So parents will have to take the hint.
All goes to the benefit of the students in that school, lah. Money solves everything.

which one more expensive to build ?

swimming pool or tennis court ?

Swimming pool

Gather a few rich parents to share the cost of swimming pool. It probably helps.

hi,

i m thinking to register my #2 in Innova Pri in Y2014, due to single session.
However, my #1 is now in Qihua Pri P2 with PM session. And nx year he will move to P3 in AM session.

In order to have them both in AM session with Innova (the only school in AM session in woodlands, Riverside Pri P1 Y2013 pioneer), i m thinking to transfer my #1 to Innova this year, will it be possible and allow by MOE? If yes, what should i do?

Pls advise, thanks.
