O Level Chance ruined by Girl's Home

Do you recall this tale? Took the N's and did well and couldn't qualify for the Os for the sole sake that she didn't sit for her Tamil paper?

Read story HERE.

Concerned citizen wrote in to SINDA to see if there was anything that could be done to help the poor chica. Lo and behold, the wondrous organization that faithfully deducts 7 bucks off my pay check every month actually responded positively.

Their response through e-mail:

Dear Mr Ganesan,

Thanks for your mail.

We have liaised with MOE on this matter and MOE is putting up her case to
support her readmission to Bedok Town Sec.

We will further liaise with the family to explore other areas of
assistance they may require such as educational Bursary and Tuition.

Warm regards

Kavitha (Ms)

More importantly, if you think something is wrong. Go do something bout it. Don't sit on your tushy and hope for almighty God to lend a hand. There ARE government and quasi-government orgs that can solve or at least shine light on the issue at hand.

Adieu!

A reply was printed in the ST Forum today regarding this predicament. Looks like the girl's got a place at her school after all.

There's some deflection of blame in the reply but looks like all the noise got the bureaucrats off their asses in the end.
