His chances were poor, having to vie with children registered under Phase 1A, 2A1, 2A2, 2B and first-generation permanent residents' (PRs) children under Phase 2C.
I did national service (NS) and so will my son, while first-generation PRs can choose not to do NS when they reach 18 by returning to their own country. Why are these Phase 2C children given an equal chance in Primary 1 registration at the expense of Singaporeans like my son?
While I understand the need to attract foreigners, I hope the Government will not do so at the expense of citizens and give us priority in balloting or in the registration phases, rather than make us compete for places in a neighbourhood school.'
