MOE's reply on making monetary donations to schools :
MOE would like to state unequivocally that the buying of school places is not allowed. All school principals are aware that under no circumstances are they to solicit or accept donations in exchange for school places.

As at the first week of February 2011, some school principals are still selling school places to foreign students.
Update : On 15th April 2011, information was provided personally to MOE's Superintendent (E4 cluster) Mrs Tan Wai Lan for the necessary action.

MOE's reply to my email of 1 Apr 2011 to Ms. Lim Huay Chih, Quality Service Manager, on international students admission to our mainstream public schools :
The Ministry takes a serious view of this matter. We urge you to provide us with precise, factual details so that the Ministry can make the necessary checks to ascertain whether such instances have occurred.

On 9th April 2010, an agent who has been selling school places for the past 25 years to foreign students with the help of current and past school principals and school staff have been reported to CPIB and the relevant authorities. More cases will be reported.
EastCoastLife's Question :
When is the government taking action to stop the sale of limited publicly funded school places?
It is shocking to discover that such illegal transactions have been taking place in Singapore for the past 25 years to cheat foreign students and their parents of their money.
If the public has information on mainstream public schools selling school places, please report to CPIB.
You could do the following :
a. Go personally to CPIB at 2, Lengkok Bahru, S(159047), to lodge a complaint to the Duty Officer; or
b. Write a letter to CPIB. You may remain anonymous if you wish; or
c. Make a phone call to the CPIB Duty Officer at 1800 - 376 0000 at any time of the day to make the complaint; or
d. E-mail to CPIB through the CPIB internet website.

Do not waste your time complaining to MOE.
So you mean no school compounds are allowed to be sold right? I believe all principals are very aware of this rule.
