PR Bitch: '' We're OK with new P1 rules but interaction will suffer ''

[zeddy]

PR understands need to change P1 rules, but feels interaction will suffer

Source : http://www.straitstimes.com/STForum/OnlineStory/STIStory_782369.html


MY FIRST reaction upon reading Monday's front-page report ('Singaporeans first in new P1 registration rule') was was 'not again... the value of permanent residency seems to be depreciating like the shelf life of a car'.

But after ruminating on the article, I realised that perhaps it was time for me to put in more effort to educate my son, rather than rely on a popular or branded school to do it.

As permanent residents (PRs), my husband and I are well aware of the reason for the new rule. Singaporeans are lucky to have a government that act in their best interests.

My advice to fellow PRs is not to be disappointed, but to adapt to such changes and to prepare better for their children's future.

There is one drawback to consider. My early education, from kindergarten to secondary school, was in Singapore. It was a rewarding experience to have Singaporeans and PRs studying together in harmony, without prejudices

Our different national backgrounds helped widen mindsets and attitudes, and allowed for a more cosmopolitan outlook.

Such an experience may not be available to Singaporeans in future because of the new rule, which will whittle down the number of PRs in choice schools.

Trust me, blue card is just as shitty as pink card.

The only exception? With a blue card you still have an 'escape route' out of this island.

Many FTs take up PR, not because of the so-called 'perks' that comes with the blue card, but rather because renewing the employment pass is a hassle.

Quite true. Sinkies kids will live in their own world thinking they are the best. When they are finally exposed to competition later in life they realise it makes no difference that they were put through good schools.

 

[no_faith]

ask her not to worry. our beloved govt protects the interest of FT and PR. they are in good hands.

Someone on HWZ did a x-examination on the recent ruling.

Seems like it's not entirely true that Singaporeans are given priority over PR, just worded to make us feel better and probably those hougangers will bang chiu during the by election.


I refer to the article ‘MOE: Singaporeans will now get absolute priority over PRs for P1 registrations‘.

This is absolute rubbish. If you read carefully from the latest MOE’s rule, Singaporeans DO NOT have absolute priority over PRs yet for P1 registration.

What it means is that the new rule will give priority to Singaporean children only on a phase to phase basis and not from the whole registration point of view.

In the new rule, P1 places will be allotted to Singaporean children first only for a particular phase. When there are vacancies left for that phase after the Singaporean children are taken care of, they will then be allotted to PR children.

So, if you look at the current P1 registration phases:

Phase 1 – For a child who has a sibling studying in the primary school of choice. All children registered under this phase will be given places in the schools.

Phase 2A(1) – For a child whose parent is a former student of the primary school and who has joined the alumni association as a member not later than 30 Jun of the year before P1 registration; or whose parent is a member of the School Advisory/Management Committee.

Phase 2A(2) – For a child whose parent or sibling has studied in the primary school of choice; or whose parent is a staff member of the primary school of choice.

Phase 2B – For a child whose parent has joined the primary school as a parent volunteer not later than 1 Jul of the year before P1 registration and has given at least 40 hours of voluntary service to the school by 30 Jun of the year of P1 registration; or whose parent is a member of the church/clan directly connected with the school; or whose parent is endorsed as an active community leader.

Phase 2C – For all children who are eligible for Primary One in the following year and are not yet registered in a primary school.

Phase 2C (Supp) – For a child who is not yet registered in a school after Phase 2C.

Phase 3 – For a child who is neither a Singapore Citizen nor Permanent Resident.

If a PR is an alumni member and a Singaporean is a parent volunteer, the PR will still have priority over the Singaporean as the PR’s kid will be eligible for Phase 2A(1), even though he may be behind other Singaporeans in the same Phase 2A(1). The Singaporean who is a parent volunteer will only be eligible for Phase 2B, way behind the PR.

Is this fair? Did the PR serve NS and risk breaking his hands and legs? Is he going to send his kid to do NS and risk breaking his kid’s hands and legs (PR has a choice not to do NS)?

Looking at the table above, I say PR should be allocated places after Phase 2C (Supp) when ALL the Singaporean kids have been taken care of from Phase 1 to Phase 2C (Supp).

Hence, I propose a Phase 2D for PR:

Phase 2D – For a child who is a Permanent Resident.

If a PR really wants to be treated fairly like the rest of Singaporeans, become a Singaporean and make your kid a Singaporean. Otherwise, just shut up!

This is our country. Not happy, then go back to your third world countries to let your kids study there!

May I ask the government why the fuck is Ms Phylis still a PR?

 

[zeddy]

Singaporeans are lucky to have a Government that act in their best interests.

After many years in Sinkieland, Miss Syphilis Tan still doesn't realise that the PRs here are classified as protected species by the PAP... They are loved and pampered by the Govt.. She and her family are extremely lucky to have a Government that act in their best interests...

This fucking retarded bitch is really a fucking hypocrite!

If she think Singapore is so fucking good, why is she still a PR and not a citizen? She said she has been here since kindergarten to secondary school and yet, she has not yet become a citizen. WHY?

must be malaysian..

 

[Ganesha]

Typical PR, anything happens, she will run road back to her hometown.

 

[laksaboy]

Malaysians can also buy LAND or landed property for cheap in Malaysia.

If she's a Malaysian, it makes sense why she wouldn't want to downgrade from a blue card to a pink card.

I would have done the same in her shoes.

 

[congo9]

What kind of interaction ??? I don understand. You yourself has been here for donkey years and you still refuse to turn citizen ???

Never understood why there must be "interaction or integration" between locals and foreigners, as the government keeps saying.
Why should we? What's the incentive for us?

 

[Scrooball (clone)]

Interact with foreigners will get 2x bonus? Any benefits?

 

[Agoraphobic]

This fucking retarded bitch is really a fucking hypocrite!

If she think Singapore is so fucking good, why is she still a PR and not a citizen? She said she has been here since kindergarten to secondary school and yet, she has not yet become a citizen. WHY?

If she takes up Sg citizenship, she'll have to give up her own citizenship (Sg doesn't allow dual-citizenship). Why would anyone in their right mind want to do that?

Cheers!

 

[Scrooball (clone)]

Inclusive society for foreigners = jobs for foreigners, NS for locals. Everyone gets something

PR status usually means they are afforded everything a citizen of that country is entitled to except voting rights. After all, they pay taxes too.

Cheers!

Voting rights? Do u think they care? They are more concerned about buying our flats, jacking up prices and then selling off before they move back to their native countries.

Otherwise, why don't convert to become citizens?

 

[Rogue Trader]

but feels interaction will suffer

Thanks for your concern, Phyllis Tan.... But if I ever want to mingle and experience other cultures, I'll book a tour ...

If she's so compelled to say something on "rights" and "fairness", go back to mudlaysia and tell Najip to reverse their bumi policy.

 

[groober2011]

She should interact more with her ass because we Singaporeans are not interested to interact with foreigners.
