I agree with you. But as long as there’s an incentive, people WILL join for the sake of the incentive, and then they try to get out later. Sigh.
-
Alternatively, government could just remove all incentives from joining the GRO… which they won’t, because they also know that there are more people joining the GRO for incentives rather than for altruistic purposes.

A friend has these questions. Hopefully somebody here can assist. Thanks.
Bishan-ToaPayoh GRC has 5 sub-constituencies (Bishan East-Thomson, Bishan North, TPY West-Balestier, TPY Central, TPY East-Novena).
If she lives and volunteers at one of the Bishan North sub-constituency RCs, her daughter eligible for Phase 2B in TPY West CHIJ? Or she limited to schools within Bishan North sub-constituency?
If she volunteers in a Bishan CCMC but lives within 1 km of Henry Park, her daughter still eligible for Phase 2B in Henry Park?
If she volunteers in one of the Bishan North sub-constituency RCs and at same time serves a Bishan CCMC, but lives within one 1km of Henry Park, her daughter eligible for both Phase 2B in TPY West CHIJ and Henry Park?
Does CCC/CCMC member eligible for Phase 2B for both within the GRC and where she lives? -
Wherever you volunteer, the phase 2b applies to schools in the GRC you reside in and no where else. Even if u volunteer in Bishan you cannot get TPY CHIJ, if u stay near Henry Park.

Does anyone know if we are volunteers at Meet The People Session which is not under PA, are we also included under Phase 2B?

No.
MTPS is a branch activity. (PAP or other party) which is not a PA group.
the last 1/4, go and find out yourself when you are at the branch. -

So if volunteer in Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC can only apply to school in sub-constituency of residency (and not any school within entire GRC)? -

I agree with skii wholeheartedly, but sometimes I do ask myself is it still worth to volunteer for PA as I sensed a shift in the way PA manages their volunteers. They bring in yes men who seek the benefits rather than keeping passionate but vocal volunteers. I feel that PA's dealings with residents nowadays are more top down instead of ground up recently.
guys,
new and old.
let us take a step back and think of why you want to join RC/NC as volunteers. (reasons)
the benefits comes in later...... when you least expect it. (incentives)
don't mix up the both and join because of incentives leh....
If not, your heart won't be at the correct place to do good to your neighbors.
Just to share, my new estate is filled with young volunteers who are looking at incentives given by PA because the first thing they asked when confirmed is how to apply for special parking coupon and the RC does not seems to have direction, they doesn't even have a RC centre despite setting up 3 years ago. And the worst part is the RC members don't bother to engage residents other than coming up with a few events a year which was bestowed by the CC, and they don't even dare to acknowledge they are RC members when asked. :slapshead: -

You can apply for schools within the whole GRC, the letter for P2B will state the schools you can apply. But bearing in mind that the electoral boundaries can change during election years so the school that you are targeting might not be within your GRC boundaries should that be changes. hope this helps.
