I am sorry to post such basic questions but I m really confused.


I approached west coast pa months back, was told I could only volunteer at nc as my place is within private estate.

But nc is too full.
Want to ask about rc, but was told I was not eligible.
Asked about CCC, was told they need people roped in from rc and nc. Though CCC does need people but transitions seem lacking.
Asked about CDC, was to,d they prefer people from CCC and u must be at least district counciliors to qualify.
Last left with CCCmc. But wat is CCCmc? Where and I find info on net to register?

All these c r driving me nuts lol

The NC says can't take in anymore observers?

Like that very difficult. Any neighbours you know, can pull string. Some members are not active at all.

Hi,


My son is born in 2008, can someone tell me if I am still in time to join RC for P2B?

Time is running out for u. U should be an observer by now

[CheLee]

May I know if an observer will be given any formal letter to acknowledge thsat they r really an observer?


Else who will keep track and promote them in time to come?

Can observer be promoted anytime or only during the formation of a new comm?

Is there any moe website that we can find out which schools r under which Grc?

Thanks so much.

Observer is not an appt so no official appt letter from PA, however, PA will inform you to meet the Chairman prior to attend meeting or attend meeting straightaway (depends on the chairman's practice). PA will know when you join and also RC will have MoM as evidence. Promotion to EM is not automatic and time-based, it depends on the performance/commitment of the observer as wll as available vacancy. Confirmation as EM can be anytime. MOE used to show the schools by GRC but removed since 2 years ago. Cheers!

Thanks, originally i understood from a colleague that observer will only be promoted to EM if there happens to be a committee to be formed. And I was worried if i would be able to meet such a chance.


Thanks!

It depends whether there are new housings are on the way. I know constituency like Punggol, there are many newly formed RCs. This is a good chance for becoming EM after half a year.

For mature estates, hmm, difficult to say.
Why don't you join MPS first. Get to know the MP personally and you will get to join as a Branch representative to RC events such as Block Visit, etc. Target the chairman of that particular RC that you are residing in. Get to know the chairman and CO in charge. Mind you, this process will take at 3-4 years to build up.

Dear parents,


My child will be due for P1 registration in 2014 (born in 2008), we know chances may be slim that we have enough time to go by ‘Active community leaders’ route but would like to give it a shot.

Our condo will be ready next year and just found out that there is not NC formed yet (heard that there are others interested as well) so we are clueless on how to volunteer our services at the right place and also if NC is not formed by the time of my child’s registration, what is likely to happen? Does our services rendered at the other NC count to qualify us for Phase 2B?
