Since you are not a resident within that GRC, you will not be granted EM there, only AM, and as far as I know, AM does not have P2B privilege.

When you submit the application form, PA will assign you to the RC/NC in your estate. So you can't have a choice where you want to go

EM = Executive member


may inquire -
what does AM mean ?

is attaining EM - the only way to qualify for Phase 2B ?
from "observer" beginner status to EM level - on average, how many years does it take ?

You can't just walk to a CC or RC or CCMC and start gaining points for P2B. You need to first become an observer. Even for that there may be a waiting list. You will be observed for a few months and if your conduct is satisfactory - you attend meetings and events, help out in gatherings, etc - you can get to become an Executive Member. That too assuming there are vacancies. Some RC have no vacancies and folks remain observers for months if not years. In order to qualify for P2B in 2014, make sure you become an EM before 30-Jun-2013.

Hope this helps.

Assosiate Member.

Average 1.5 years to become EM.
Submit application form, takes abt 6 mths then PA will invite you to the first meeting as an observer. Then on it depends on how active the observer is and whether there is any vacancy. Otherwise have to wait for at least a year or so. To be more kiasu, the moment move to the new house, start to join the RC. At least people wont talk behind the back once the child successfully entered P1 thru phase 2B.


Some member has changed their IC address, still has to cheek to stay on instead of transferring membership to another GRC. This selfish member occupies the vacancy.

Hopefully PA will have implement a more stringent rules regarding. This is only applicable for RC.

Thanks, octoberbaby for kind info.


are there cases whereby -
one remain as an "observer" for a long, long time, but still couldn’t make it to "Executive" member in time, by the latest dateline "30 June", due for P1 registration ?

Yes, there are cases. But somehow, there loop holes in one of the GRC surrounded by famous schools.

Usually the observer will start to bark at the Chairman how come still not becoming EM.

From there, true colours will show that this person only interested in phase 2B not passion serving the community. Very very ugly cases.
