Thanks for your reply. But my question is more of in the event that someone volunteers in another GRC that he is not staying in, by the time it comes to the registration, can the person decide to opt for schools within the GRC that he is staying in? Or can he only opt for the GRC that he volunteers in?

A person cannot volunteer for a GRC they are not staying in and use that to get phase 2B status.Imagine then the Bukit Timah GRC will be swamped with grassroot volunteers from the whole of Singapore!

Hi,


Just to verify, once your are an observer, and confirm you will be a Executive member right?

Do we need to be wait for 3 years to be endorsed as a Grassroot leaders then can choose the school?

Or we can choose the school in phase 2B as executive member?

[norman08]

can anyone explain the part on GRC members able to choose up to 3 schools max? Does that mean, member can register concurrently at 3 sch?

please note that a new circular has been released. Only GRL with at least 1 year of continous service can register under phase 2B

Do take note that you have to be Observer for 1 year minimum. To get to Executive Member would depend on how hard you work & whether any vacancy in the commitee a not.

Hi titank,

Vacancies in committee would be quite limited right? This means it is even harder going by the grassroot way as compared to PV?...:(...Can share if you are going by the grassroot way or the PV way? Thanks.

Best Regards,

every school is different. some schools don’t take PV, some only take GRL for phase 2b and don’t accept any other applicants like pv or clan or church.


don’t rely 100% on these methods. be prepared to go to another school with a safer entry requirement for your case(s).

titank - one question - are do associate members of NCs get the same allowance for GRL phase 2B registration?

thanks.

Actually a person can volunteer in a GRC where they are not staying in. There are plenty of committee members/chairpersons in my GROs who are not residing in my GRC. However, it is still subject to the vacancies in the GROs for new members. For RC, there is associate member for people who does not reside in the estate.

Lastly, the most important thing to note is that you would rather volunteer in a GRC where you are staying in so as to minimize the time spent on traveling as you will need to attend monthly meeting at night and assist in organizing activities.

chie[/quote]In actual fact, vacancies in committee are not limited as not many people are willing to come forward to volunteer in grassroots. The minimum term a person needs to serve to become executive member is subjective. It actually depends on the chairperson or senior constituency manager on whether he is willing to recommend you as executive member. They will need to get MP endorsement and writting to PA for approval.

Normally, it will be easier for them to convert you as executive member in the new lineup after the end of the current term of the existing committee. The terms of the committee is two years and their term has ended in April this year.
