Hi.

I want to check if my husband join SHHK as memeber , but he has no time to do volunteer work as he most weekend he works. I am not a hokkein ( this is a big issue ? ), Can I volunteer to help out at SHHK instead ?
And if the sch I want to enrol is <1km and do I need to do PV and my husband to be SHHK memeber at same time , this will still consider phase 2B ?

Your child will fall under P2B if you are a PV or you receive recommendation from SHHK. Either one will do.

Far as I know, your husband can volunteer and you can turn up on his behalf. Known a few members where husband and wife took turn. The volunteer activities do not necessary fall on weekends.

SHHK does not have clear guidelines for issuing recommendation into P2B. if you are able to secure PV at the school of interest, there is more certainty as the criteria to register at P2B is clear.

I personally feel that one cannot expect the new implementation to have positive effect immediately. Do not forget that some PR has siblings currently in popular schools esp and it will probably take a couple of years to see the effectiveness.


Some people think its not a good move by govt as it doesnt benefit them now since they are registering this year and the govt should have done it long ago but at least it will benefit SC. Not immediate but we will see few years down the road.

If pr siblings accumulated, next generation enter by alumni. Then Wat effect is that to? New incoming PRs?

There is no one solution that fits everyone nor please everyone.

If you eliminate alumni phase, there will be other unhappy parents as well. Its a good step govt has gone to ensure all s'porean will be given first priority over PRs. They cannot guarantee 100% will go to singaporean but at least you can see some visual result over the recent registration or years to come.

I wish they have done it last year !!

Hi


I was told sch will actually see the letter of recommendation from clan/church for the duration of membership to decide whether you are accepted under 2b, is it true ?

I am christian since birth, 30yrs back. I got my membership in my church just less than a year and onyl recently i realised the membership can get me into 2B ler. Unsure if i have chance to get into my choice of sch or not huh…

You need to check with your church.

Yes, some churches strict now!
To prevent any Tom, Dick or Harry from scrambling & hurrying into churches last minute trying to obtain that letter desperate for Phase 2B application, some Methodist church Pastors truthfully state down clearly inside the letter to MOE when that parent had joined the church.

when P1 Registration offical read the contents of letter issued by Pastor, the school know exactly how long the parent had joined church. It is then up to individual school discretion to accept or reject the applicant, esp. if just joined very short time.

Call up both church and school. Ask school - minimal what is the time frame required, for acceptance ?
