A SMALL STEP FORWARD by MOE
From the
2012 P1 Registration Exercise onwards, when balloting is necessary
in a specific phase, SCs will be given absolute priority over PRs.
SCs and PRs will continue to be eligible for the same phases, and
all applicants will be admitted if the total number of applications
in any phase does not exceed the number of vacancies. However, if
the number of applications exceeds the number of vacancies in a
specific phase, SCs will be admitted first ahead of PRs, before
home-school distance is considered
HDB policy needs to address these problems:
Every year there are about 1,000,000 visiting FT to SG and many
have turn themself into PRs and proceeded to buy re-sale HDB flats
and chasing the prices up and up,this motion carry on year by year
even when they decided to go back to their home town to work and
lease the HDB to collect rent..in no time a 5-ROOM HDB may cost
S$1,000,000 soon..isn't it its time for a big change?
