My fren told me his niece got the recommendation letter for 2B this year for Nan Chiau. Her niece never do volunteer work and was a member of the huay kuan for 1.5 years only. She practically does nothing at all and yet for this 2B she got the letter.

It was similiar last year. I do know of cases of parents who had joined for ~1.5 years and get letters without having to be active. At the end of the day, it really depends on demand and supply, parents need to go in with eyes wide open.

Good luck!

FYI, i did voluntary work and join for 2 years but last year they didn't give me the letter. Because I'm staying 1.5m away and they don't want to do balloting for 1-2m. Their enrolment for within 1m is just enough to fill the place available. It's really heng suay...

If you refer to question 8 of the attached document where it clarifies that

Quoted
No. Distance from the school is only considered during the balloting process and not during SHHK recommendation process.

I used to have reservation on this too. Based on my personal experience, I am now convinced that Distance is indeed not being taken into consideration at SHHK recommendation stage.

But my personal experience tells me its true too. Last year there is no balloting for 2B. So as a member for 2 years doing voluntary work but stay within 1-2km and doesn't get the letter, if distance is not taken into consideration, then it's rather strange. BTW, if distance is not taken into consideration, the admin staff from SHHK would not have called me 2 days before letters are issued to confirm where I'm staying. Not strange???
