Many people use MOE Lobang if possible. Mostly civil. Servant colleagues. Hence reason why it's turned into elite only school as those with no Lobang kicked out.

“There is a concern that some coaches, perhaps within the system, are making implicit promises that access to certain spots in certain schools would be favourable because they also happen to be the coaches for those schools,” said Assoc Prof Lim.

Assoc Prof Lim also asked whether MOE has plans for a more thorough review on the whole DSA process, instead of on a case-by-case basis.

“If we believe that the system is right, and if you have anecdotal evidence that you think requires our attention, we welcome you to pass it to MOE and we’ll take a look at it,” said Mr Chan in his response.

It is no secret that DSA is a multi-million dollar business opportunity especially in sports

1. Many retired sportsmen are coaches of secondary schools and JCs.

2. Rich parents sent their kids to private sport schools run by these people for a few years or just months in Primary School

3. Many of these kids don't play the games well and can't win anything in national competitions. The fees are very high, what's the catch?

The coaches do not select the DSA students but many can recommend school teachers to recruit these rich kids as ideal, perfect "sparing/training opponents" for the best sports students in the CCA. It is a lame reason and some coaches threatened not to coach the school if the teachers don't heed their advice.

This is why parents protest that in top schools accepts many weak sports students through DSA program. AGO just need to review the acceptance of these students who hardly won anything respectable in their primary school but these are rich kids, so nobody will touch them.

Flagged sports include fencing, water polo, bowling, racket games and team sports.

 

[Dr Christopher Cheok C S]

If rich kids are weaker players and Sports-CCA hours and training are long, wouldn't these rich parents worry that their children's studies will be affected?

Again, bear in mind that these are rich kids protected by the coaches. They will not be made to practice as hard or as many hours since they are merely recruited to be sparing opponents of the truly-qualified students. Many started to skip practices after sec 1, and they are untouchables. They will have plenty of time to study.
Secondary School Sports in Singapore are dirty because of DSA.

The owner was Heng Cher Siang, the founding principal of Anderson Secondary School from 1965 to 1973. Heng passed away recently at the age of 96, and her estate has put the property up for sale. A property title search shows that the freehold plot was approved for purchase on June 1, 1956. Her nephew, Robin Heng, the appointed administrator of the estate, says his aunt purchased the land in the 1950s.

Seventy years ago, Heng’s aunt paid “less than $11,000” for the property.

I rather accept student with Grade A from lousy school than having student scoring Grade D in popular school. The latter are mostly pampered prince at home and when thrown into army, will end up as PAPER GENERAL spending time eating mango and not every street smart the like of "Mr Cotton from Sheep" or those who can't managed MRT and complain about the culture there.

It's well-known that if you are playing for combined schools, you can enter those famous JCs as long as you qualify to study 2-year pre-U.

In China also ?

In China, they learn how to built space-station and explore the moon. In Singapore, they learn how to build pigeon holes and explore cemeteries for land space.
