Queueing for a place in school

Early birds: Parents started queueing outside SJKC Ave Maria Convent in Ipoh as early as 3am.

PARENTS are queuing overnight at their preferred Chinese primary schools to enrol their children in Year One, reported Chinese dailies.

The queues are longer than usual this year because it is also time for children born in 2012 – the Year of the Dragon – to register for primary school, reported Sin Chew Daily.
