Which year are you registering for P1? This is the most important aspect to determine if you still have time to go via GRL route.

Hello, I am new here. I just read about 20 pages of the posts here and I am still confused! I am now living in Bedok but will not rule out moving if it will help. If I want to get my DD into Nanyang (which is Holland-Bukit Timah), is it correct that I must either (i) join the Holland-Bukit Timah CCC/ CCMC or (ii) move to Holland-Bukit Timah and then join the NC/RC? For CCC/ CCMC, can just go to any community centre in Holland-Bukit Timah and ask to join?


I understand also that there is the 5 CDCs but for that I must get recommended by a Holland-Bukit Timah Advisor? Does this mean I must get a Holland-Bukit Timah MP to recommend? Wah, sounds very tough.

Now I know why the parents here say this is all very complicated! Will really appreciate some advice from the more experienced parents!

RC/NC no need any referral but you must live in that constituency. CCC you need referral coz that is somewhat like management level. If you are going the grassroots route, be careful of where you buy your property as Dunearn Road and Farrer Road are boundary roads for 3 GRCs - Moulmein-Kallang, Holland-Bukit Timah and Tanjong Pagar. Make sure you check the property address on the PA website to make sure it’s in the Holland-Bukit Timah GRC, even if it is within 1km of the school.

My son was born 2008. Is there still time?

Let’s work backwards.


Registration is July/Aug 2014. By then, you need to have been EM for 1 year.
So you need to be promoted to EM by June/July 2013. Depends on how active you are, it could take anything from 6 months to a year to get from observer to EM —> need to be observer by May/June 2012.

From what I’ve read in the forum, you don’t become an observer the next day you submit the application form. They might take months to review the applications. So yes, you still have time BUT you will need to submit your application VERY SOON.

Thanks Big Devil.


I will just apply once I move there and see how it goes. If not qualified for phase 2B, it's still ok. I like grassroot works anyway.

Appreciate your quick feedback, really like mata

Hi, THC, How to apply to be observer? I submitted my application to RC, attend their orientation, but no one contact me later... didn't attend any meeting.. does that mean i am rejected to be observer?

THC:

starz:

if join as observer in end june this yr and be super active n promoted to EM in less than a yr, any chance to qualify for the endorsement letter for next yr registration?

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.
