Which ever RC u have joined and obtained the GRL status thru it, u have to stick to the address. Once u shift out of the address, u are automatically out of the RC and u loses your active GRL status. Heard from grapevine, they no longer accepts associate member. Meaning u must join the RC in which your address is registered as.b2b3m4:
Yes, u can choose between aitong and CHIJ. However looking at the balloting history under phase 2b, balloting is conducted for those in 1-2km for aitong and CHIJ for those out of 2km. So u need to weigh your chances properly.
so meaning to say if I eye aitong, then I must shift within 1km fr this sch b4 the start of the registratn process? otherwise if I stick with chij TP then no nd to shift at all?
To achieve active GRL takes more than a year. If u intend to go thru this route, u have to act fast. -

Can anyone explain the differences between Grassroot Volunteers & Grassroot Leaders? A friend of mine receive a letter from the Constitutency Office where inviting for tea session.
Grassroot leaders sit in the executive committee of the RC / NC. Volunteers need not be in the executive committee and therefore do not enjoy phase 2b benefits. -

Yes, if u do not wish to ballot under phase 2B for aitong, it is safer to move within 1km as it balloted for 1-2 km for the last 2 years.b2b3m4:

CHIJ(TP) only balloted under 2B for those staying out of 2km for last 3 yrs, so u are quite safe if u stay 1-2 km.
DO note these are based on past years trends. Actual balloting distance required during ur year of registration may differ. -

Anyone know / experienced to be able to get 2B without 1 full year of being volunteer? Am short of about 6mths being actual volunteer, but started as observer in July. Think for 2011 enrolment, we must be volunteer by 30 June 2009.

1 full year is counted from the time u r an executive member. Anything less than that will not be counted. Even if your Chairman appeal, PA will oso not burge. Too many of such cases. -
Guess what I had been a active GRL in YEC for nearly 13 yr now they then tell me YEC is under MC so not entitle to the Phase 2B
What the hell of it! -

Markzh,
Guess there is no way you able to get Phase 2B since you had not join by 30 June 2009. You have to stick to Phase 2C then. -
For everybody’s information.
All active GRL eligible for phase 2b, would have received a e mail from PA by now to notify your interest. -
I’ve just finished reading all 28 pages and I’m just overwhelmed! And nowhere clearer than when I started! It seems that this route is rather ambiguous but I don’t have a choice - the schools I am eyeing for my sons (ACS P or J) don’t accept PVs. And although I am looking to buy a place within 1km, I am still uncomfortable leaving it to Phase 2C, despite the stats showing that within 1km no balloting for the last 2-3 years. You never know the response in your year! And I’m not willing to baptize my kids as Methodists just to get into the school. So that leaves this option.
I’d like to check - does anyone know for sure, or better yet, has had a successful experience - does an AM indeed enjoy the same privileges as an EM, and thus, can get the endorsement from PA?
You see, I’m living in Holland-Bukit Timah GRC but both ACS schools are in Tanjong Pagar GRC, hence I cannot be EM in the latter. Can be AM at Tanjong Pagar at best.
Someone also asked earlier in the thread but was not answered: can I tell Tanjong Pagar that I am intending a move there and so would like to volunteer first (as I am afraid timing-wise, I might miss the minimum one-year service period - 2012 is the year I will register my boy)? Or perhaps I can tell them I’d like to volunteer near where I work (Outram, which is in Tanjong Pagar GRC)?
Grateful for any help anyone can offer. Many thanks!
