No chance at all, you need to attain EM before end June. -

My experience:
1. Application To Observer (PA need 2 months to screen)
2. Observer to EM (at least 5months - Chairman/Advisor took around 2 weeks or so to prepare/sign endorsement letter and PA took around 2 to 3 weeks to issue Letter of Appointment)
Need to be EM for at least one year prior to registration.
All in all, at least 2 plus 5 plus 12 = 19months
Observer to EM is on case by case basis - 5 months to get Letter of Appointment considered fast. -

You need to go to People Associate(PA) or Community Center that is the nearest to your home and ask for an application form to register yourself as a RC members.
You will need to volunteer at the constituency where you reside to qualify for EM, otherwise can only be Associate Member which does not come with P2B priviledge. Except for CCC or CCMC. - how do I apply as volunteer?

Hi THC
What’s the diff bet CCC /CCMC members & other members? They have ‘auto’ P2B privileges? -

Citizens' Consultative Committee (CCC) plans and leads grassroots activities at the constituency level and oversees the RC/NC, CSC & CDEC.Hi THC
What's the diff bet CCC /CCMC members & other members? They have 'auto' P2B privileges?
Community Centre/Club Management Committee (CCMC) maintains and manages the community centre/club and oversees SCEC, WEC, MAEC, IAEC & YEC. The CCC & CCMC can be considered as management team in the constituency and its membership is only through recommendation from advisor or senior constituency manager. Note that chairmen of RC/NC, CSC & CDEC sit in as executive member in CCC while chairmen of SCEC, WEC, MAEC, IAEC & YEC sit in as executive member in CCMC.
As stated above, only chairman of various committees sits in CCC/CCMC. If you are not from any of the committes, and to be recommended, you will need to have many years of management experiences in private corporation or many years in other voluntary services, ultimately the chairman will decide whether are you a good fit to his team and vacancy available. I would believe turnover rate is rather low in CCC/CCMC as majority is serving in other committee and if somebody is left, then new chairman of sub committee take over.
The CCMC Sub committee includes:
Senior Citizens' Executive Committee (SCEC) manages and plans activities for the senior citizens in the constituency.
Women's Executive Committee (WEC) offers opportunities for women to involve in community service. (Exclusively for woman)
Malay Activity Executive Committee helps to promote greater Malay participation in grassroots service. (Exclusively for Malay)
Indian Activity Executive Committee offers opportunities for Indian involvement in grassroots activities. (Exclusively for Indian)
Youth Executive Committee (YEC) promotes social cohesiveness, national consciousness and patriotism among youths. (Exclusively for youth between 15 to 35)
All the committees except NC/RC need not to residue in the constituency that they serve. Just visit the community centre and the senior constituency manager will match make you with the suitable committees. You can also request for the particular committees that you want to join.
For all committees except YEC, you will be placed in the committee as an observer for a few months so that the committees could assess your attendance in meeting and involvement before the advisor as committee member endorses you. For YEC, election will be held every two years (2009, 2011, 2013 etc) between July and October (depends on the date of the BGM).
Only CCC and CCMC Executive Member have the same P2B priviledge as RC/NC Executive Member but I understand CCC/CCMC have the choice of the schools in the constituency they served and reside whereas RC/NC have the choice of schools in the constituency they reside. -
