Hi,


There are 3 primary schools within my neighbourhood (Division level), but at the constituency level (GRC), there are 10 schools which include the 3 schools in my neighbourhood. If I am a grassroot leader, would I be able to get a referral from my GRC MP to one of the schools under the constituency other than the 3 schools in my neighbourhood?

the letter will state you are eligible to apply to any of the schools in the same GRC

Hi all, I still yet to receive any letter of confirmation of my EM appointment. I guess I am still an observer after all these months involvement in their activities since last Dec. May I know what do you all do as an EM? So far, I have almost joined in all their activities.

why not have a chat with the chairman? Afterall, he should be the one deciding who should be a EM.

EM usually holds position like chairman, vice-chair, treasurer, secretary etc. Think only 2-3 EM do not hold any position.

I believe there is also a limit to the number of EMs in each RC/NC. So if the older ones don't \"retire\", the new ones can't assume EM position.

RC chairman is not approachable ... :shock:

Still for your child's sake ....

do have some proposal ready, eg suggestion for you to plan & organize a festival celebration, charity sales for the lower income in your area, etc Something that would make him or her look good and increase your contribution to the RC.

good luck !

Think there is some misconception about RC & NC.

The numbers of office bearers for both RC & NC are as follows:
(a) Chairman;
(b) Vice-Chairman (up to three);
(c) Secretary;
(d) Assistant Secretary (up to three);
(e) Treasurer;
(f) Assistant Treasurer (up to two); and
(g) Auditor (up to two).

The total number of executive committee members including office bearers should not be more than 30.

See http://www.pa.gov.sg/about-us/pa-act-and-other-constitutions.html for details.

The appointment of officer bearers and executive committee members is usually done by PA staff-in-staff (Assistant Constituency Manager) with recommendation from present RC/NC Chairman and Senior Constituency Manager.

The processes for the appointment of executive committee members are as follows:
(a) Screening process of background;
(b) Endorsement of application of advisor;
(c) Approval of application by PA HQ.

Thus, it is advisable to contact PA staff-in-staff (Assistant Constituency Manager) to found out the status of executive committee’s application. This is because RC/NC Chairman only submits executive committee’s application and it is PA staff-in-staff’s job to follow up.

As what does RC do? It actually depends on the direction set by RC/NC officer bearer. It can range from sleeping (1 star awarded) RC to 4 stars awarded RC/NC.
