Hi, I would like to join as a member of Singapore Hokkien Huay Guan for P1 registration. Hence I would need two existing members as referees before I can join as a member.

Are there any existing members here who can help, or anyone know any existing members.
I am willing to meet you at your convenience time and place or courier the forms over.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Zzerothl,


There is no known (at least the SHHK don't publish them) rules to that but tenure of membership is one of them. You can check out this link - http://www.shhk.com.sg/PDF/phase%202B_2009.pdf.

The link is not exactly updated but seems to be what the Huay Kuan has been maintaining each year. You might also want to sign up as volunteers for the various events that the SHHK holds each year to clock up mileage to be eligible for the recommendation letter.

The SHHK schools are very popular, always have a plan B in place. Good Luck!

Thanks guys for the tips and advise. I certainly would try to be as active a member as possible, not just for the primary school registration sake. It is also a good place to network and gain a much better understanding of the hokkien culture and heritage. Definitely worthwhile if taking a long term view. Good for the kids to get these exposure when they are young too.


Wish me luck and I’m definitely keeping my fingers crossed. ( am still searching for 2 kind souls to be my referees)
