On the contrary, if you ask the principal, i'm sure she will tell you that they don't offer any places through "knocking door". The only chance where you can get in if you know the principal very well is during the Discretionary Places Allocation stage. Here the school has room to manipulate the figures to allocate places according to their wish. It's all have to do with supply & demand. If you check the Summary of Allocation Results (by Net) for P1 Admission for recent years, you will get an idea that the % of places allocated through Discretionary Places Allocation and through Central Allocation (unrestricted 1-3) and Restricted (1-3) account for over 90% of the total no. of allocated places.

I agree with you.
women want to choose a good husband, and men eant to choose a good wife. you walk in a supermarket, you want to pick the best 4 oranges for 20 dollars (not just any 4 oranges).

it's the only moment schools really have their discretion to pick students for limited quotas. they don't want to take risk. it's very understandable. if parents call it "dirty", why would they pick the best 4 oranges, but not just any 4 oranges?!?! how fair is fair?!?!
