"only problem is the queuing for entering school as parents of students.. why do we parents need to submit ID every time we enter school for buying books or going to fetch kids? unless we are not registered before ...parents that had been registered should just write our particulars in a visitor's book enough right? especially now ID is sensitive nowadays ..pls consider plan change for registration as waiting for computer scanning and getting stickers entries waste of time if long queue...thanks"
