There was a newspaper report (Straits Times, 24 Dec 09) saying that a woman criminal was sentenced to jail. But she request the judge to postpone her jail sentence, because she said she want to guide her daughter thru the O level results and thru the JAE.
Then the judge said OK, and he consulted MOE. Then he postponed her jail sentence to start on 19 Jan 09.
Therefore, by logical deduction, that JAE will definitely end before 19 Jan 09. (Mon).
Since 19 Jan 09 is a Monday, that means the last day of JAE is likely to be on 16 or 17 Jan 09.
This means that “O” level results will be likely announced on 12 Jan 09.
