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)

Hi,


Can any kind soul advise me what do they mean by ‘member of the church’? Does it mean that once we r baptized means we are the member of the church? I heard different versions like ‘we need to donate $ to the churches on a monthly basis’ or some is that we need to b baptized n attending church for a certain period in order to qualify.

Unlike all CHIJs, we just need to show the baptize certain from either parent to qualify phase 2b.

church membership means you have to be an officially confirmed member of that church or denomination, eg Anglican, Methodist, Presbyterian, etc = you have to be a believer, complete the membership course, baptised and be in communion, the so-called donations is 'tithe' for which a true believer will understand the significance of it.

Hi, I would like to join as a member of Singapore Hokkien Huay Guan. I 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.
Thanks in advance.
