hi hi


just a thot, should i quickly go register myself as a member in the hokkien huay kuan and get myself placed in phase 2b so that my chances to enter the gal be higher?

or it wouldn't help? cos i'm too late to join as a member?

Hi rainbows,

you are too late to join as a member, Hokkien Huay Kuan do not take in members as and when you apply. You have to get 2 members recomendation and wait for the next meeting and wait for approval, which I have waited for 6-7 months for approval.

...Another thing, any parents here are Hokkien Huay Kuan members? May I know how long have you been a member and did you manage to get a recommendation from them? I called them and they said that they do not give recommendation to every member, it will depend on the quota given by MOE every year...

What they tell you is true. Some facts:
1. You do NOT need to be a long-time SHHK member (ie. more than a year) before you can be considered to be recommended for an affiliated school;

2. Even if you are a long-time member, your chance of getting recommended for an affiliated school depends on the quota allowed by MOE and the school for Phase 2B, which is different every year. So if there are enough members who are longer serving or higher up the SHHK hierarchy vying for the school, you may not get the recommendation.

In other words, being a member of SHHK will qualify you to be considered for Phase 2B priority in affiliated schools, but there is NO guarantee that you will eventually be given that priority.

Thanks! Its so stress...

Rainbows,

I think joining as member for Hokkien Huay Kuan and alumni takes time to approve. I am too late to join alumni either, but then I don’t have any time to offer my services, so it’s better I didn’t join alumni either.
