Thank you all for your advice. Guess my son's chance for Tao Nan is really slim. Nevertheless, our Plan B will be Ngee Ann Pri coz our PV volunteering for Red Swastika has been rejected.

it is good that you have plan B. I have done my volunteering in huay kuan and i know many mummies and daddies doing volunteer work of almost 80 to 100 hours just to get recommendation letters from huay kuan for tao nan and ai tong. It is now an unpublished rule that to get recommendation letters for these 2 schools, have to clock at least 80 hours of volunteer works and every year the balloting at phrase 2b is within 1km. All these parents who clock 80 hours or more move to within 1km.

OMG!! It feels like I just thrown $500+ into the sea. I'm not aware of such unpublished rule & don think I have the time for such volunteering work as well. Guess I'm left with Ngee Ann Pri for my son. Thanks for the advice.
