      A member can sit at the RC meeting observing patiently,
      then be confirmed as a EM.

      For the next 2 years, he attends every monthly meeting
      and help out in most events

      Step foot ZERO times into the brach.
      does not know/care who the Branch Sect is

      and still qualify for 2B by his own merits.




      don't bring in your own standards into the equation.
      Qualifying for 2B is a much simpler process.
      and definitely non-politcal.

      Exactly !
      Thanks for bringing up this point...


      The WHO YOU KNOW part comes not at the usual RC centers and activities.
      It comes when you help out at the MPS.
      Although the MPS session do not give you the letter - yet because WHO you know at the MPS - means the letter from your work at RC comes easier .




      It is never political
      Whether u 'qualify' or not will depends on the recommendations by the RC Chairman

      How we recommend...
      .. depends on many factors

      Most of the time - if the member is active enough- we would send the name to PA for the letter to be sent.

      Of course - there were those that were 'rejected'

      Here, just sharing of how to increase your chance of getting the 'letter' - which is what the readers here want to know...[/quote]It became political when you start mentioning MPS. And it is not just qualify based on recommendation alone, you still need to list down your contributions over the 2 years to back up your application. No wonder PA GROs are declining in quality year on year, since the GRLs are busy forging connections rather than doing what need to be done.

      I can share the best to increase your chance. Just be a yes man for 2 years. Everything also do, no question asked

        Hi Dear Gurus, I am new to the active community leader criteria and volunteering at RC, etc. May I kindly enquire more regarding the following:


        1) The prospective school is located in the same GRC as where I currently reside, and I am intending to move within 1km of the school before my child’s P1 registration window. Can I volunteer/serve at the RC which is nearest to my home currently (this RC, my current home, my future home, and the propective pri school are all in the same GRC)? My concern is if this RC is not one that is closest to the prospective pri school. Not sure if it matters and will affect anything.

        2) For volunteering at RC, do I complete the RC member nomination form and submit to the RC directly? Or should I submit the online volunteering form via grassroots connect?

        3) Once I have clocked my necessary time/hours as an EM with the RC, as my RC/current home/future home/prospective pri school are all in the same GRC, should I apply for the active community leader letter before I move to my new home or after I move to my new home (when my NRIC reflects the new address)?

        4) In terms of remaining as an EM with my RC, do I need to ensure that I am still an EM during the P6 registration window? Or just up till the time that I attain the certification letter? I am actually happy to remain as an EM even after my child goes to primary school but just concerned if they will kick me out since I moved to my new place (which is still within the GRC but no longer near the RC).


        Thank you all!

            From MOE web


            Question:
            How do I qualify as an active community leader for registration at Phase 2B of the Primary One (P1) Registration Exercise? How do I register under Phase 2B?

            Answer:
            Current committee members of the Residents’ Committee (RC), Neighbourhood Committee (NC), Residents’ Network (RN), Citizen’s Consultative Committee (CCC), Community Club Management Committee (CCMC) and the Community Development Council (CDC) are eligible to register their children under Phase 2B.


            You should check with your respective Constituency Office on the application procedures. If your application is approved, you will receive a letter of eligibility by the People’s Association (PA) for being an endorsed community leader. As an endorsed active community leader, you will need to clarify with your constituency office on:

            ● Whether your child is eligible for this registration phase.
            ● How to apply for the eligibility letter.
            ● The list of eligible schools .

            If your child is eligible, you may proceed to register your child using an online application form during the stipulated registration period for Phase 2B i.e from 9am on Thursday, 23 July 2020 to 4.30pm on Friday, 24 July 2020.

            The school which you are registered for may separately request for you to submit the letter of eligibility.

                When you first join, you will be registered as an Observer and you must be an active participant for at least 3-6 months before you are granted Executive Member status. You must be an Executive Member before you are given a chance to request for a letter signed by your MP to endorse you as an active community leader for priority registration in Phase 2B.

Can I volunteer/serve at the RC which is nearest to my home currently (this RC, my current home, my future home, and the propective pri school are all in the same GRC)? My concern is if this RC is not one that is closest to the prospective pri school. Not sure if it matters and will affect anything. <- based on what I know from asking from PA staff at my RC, when you change your registered address, it is possible to transfer EM status to the new RC given there is EM slot available at the new RC and the Chairman there are willingly to accept you as EM instead of observer. Quite a number of paperwork need to be done and go thru approval process. This may take some time, not sure how long. If the new RC has no slot for you, and your registered address already changed, you will need to become observer and repeat the same process of becoming EM again. Timing is critical so time it well.

                        2) For volunteering at RC, do I complete the RC member nomination form and submit to the RC directly? Or should I submit the online volunteering form via grassroots connect? <-either one are fine as long as you make sure your application reach the correct responsible party and someone do contact you to acknowledge your application

                        3) Once I have clocked my necessary time/hours as an EM with the RC, as my RC/current home/future home/prospective pri school are all in the same GRC, should I apply for the active community leader letter before I move to my new home or after I move to my new home (when my NRIC reflects the new address)? <- letter will only be issued at certain timing of the year. PA staff will gather the list of members whose child is due for P1 registration in the year and prepare documents for Chairman for further processing.

                        4) In terms of remaining as an EM with my RC, do I need to ensure that I am still an EM during the P6 registration window? Or just up till the time that I attain the certification letter? I am actually happy to remain as an EM even after my child goes to primary school but just concerned if they will kick me out since I moved to my new place (which is still within the GRC but no longer near the RC). <- IMO, You should maintain your status as EM even after the p1registration window. Based on my personal experience, i did move house within the same GRC and once i moved, the old RC zone straightaway transfer me to the new RC zone. Best is to make sure the new RC got EM quota for you. Discuss with your zone PA staff before you move, they should be able to give you some clues.


                        Thank you all!
