Application to Kuen Cheng 2 primary school - 3 March 2017

The name Kuen Cheng is enough to scare most of us, as we all know it's a high performance school.  NOBODY told me that this primary school was next to the Kwong Tung and Hokkien cemeteries though!!!

Steve and I went there close to midnight as we wanted to know where the school is situated for us to submit Salaree's application early the next morning.  Waze took us the shorter route through the unlit cemetery. Freaking eerie, scared the shit out of us!! The graves were so close to the road. I swear to you

that the pictures of the dead uncles and aunties were staring at us.

So, the next day, we went to the school and luckily there was no queue at all.

Entrance to the school. You need to register at the guard house. The guard will ask you to go to the office located on the 1st floor. 

Check out the office. This is where you register for Standard 1

Sample form- How to fill up, step-by-step:

All you need to do:-

(a) Fill up the form on the spot (i.e. particulars of parents, NRIC numbers, occupation, house address, office address, telephone numbers, how much your salary, distance from your address to the school); and

(b) bring along your kid's birth certificate, parents' NRIC, electricity or water bill (original and photocopy).

You don't need to bring self-stamped envelope as you can purchase it from the office at RM3.00. I brought envelopes and was told that one is too big and the other too small.

We submitted the application and I was told to purchase books. I said, "Why?".  These books will prepare your child for the ENTRANCE EXAM in May 2018 !!! You have 1 year to prepare your child. I was like OMG! OMG! OMG! The books were not expensive, it was around RM23 or RM27 for 6 books (can't remember the exact price as we were in shock).

I asked the receptionist, if my child doesn't get in, what to do with the books and she said your child can still use it for Standard 1 in other school. It's not a MUST to purchase, but recommended.

So, all in, filling up the application and submission of the application, it took us about 15 minutes only!!

LATEST UPDATES

I called Kuen Cheng 2 on 23 November 2017 to find out whether they have set the entrance exam date and one Puan Siti (person-in-charge) told me that they have not set the date yet. Normally, it will be held sometime in April or May.

Then she informed me that I have to submit my child's application to Standard 1 online at http://public.moe.gov.my. I told her when I applied manually back in March this year, you said no need to apply online after submission manually. She said they received direction from the Ministry of Education to request all parents that had previously applied manually, to also submit online.

After submission online, she said to print out the:-

(a) Borang Permohonan Tahun Satu, Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia; and
(b) Borang Persetujuan Perkhidmatan Kesihatan dan Imunisasi

and to send the same to her at the school. She also said to quote your child's application reference number on the hardcopy of the Borang Permohonan, which the application reference number is stamped at the back of your child's certificate.

PARENTS - PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE ABOVE.

The entrance exam date is out !! It will be held on 5 May 2018 (Saturday). I did not receive the letter from Kuen Cheng 2, which the school had sent out to all applicants. I called them and was asked to collect it personally from the school. At the same time, we filled up a reply slip to say that our kiddo will be attending the entrance exam.
