funny, hor ? RGPS fall under Kallang grc ? :?
-
precious lesson learnt … nowadays, parents cannot just blindly do RC work. Need to roughly estimate … when is the next coming election? Current grc boundary doesn’t stay permanently all the time. Election boundary may change the grc for your child’s ideal school of choice. Throw parents entirely off course. End up angry, very frustrated, at a loss of what’s the next step to do… upseting original plans to go awry. Also too late to offer pv work in the desired school.

Besides the change of GRC due to election boundary that may affect our child's ideal school of choice, will our benefit for Phase 2B be forfeited should the opposition party eventually won the election on 07 May? :scratchhead:

erm… PA and PAP are two separate entities lah.

RC work is to contribute to the community.. phase 2b is a benefit, not a right. why get angry when you are volunteering for a different reason than what the RC and NC are there for in the first place... -
then parents need to search their own heart, find out how genuinely noble they are in offering rc work.
to me, i think there are 2 groups of parents. One type are those who genuinely contribute their precious time selflessly to do volunteer RC work, for the benefit of the RC zone they stay in. These are the selfless lot, and i truly salute them. They are rare ones, but they do exist.
the 2nd group are those who want some benefit out of it. If you read past pages in this case, there were cases reported who once their kid got in ideal school, they stop rc work. Means once they achieve their objective, that’s it. Not interested anymore. If supposing one day this benefit of choosing ideal school is taken out and removed totally as a benefit, i v much doubt they want to volunteer. -

Not to worry, for the 2nd group, from my many years of experience, they usually can't sustain their interest/commitment. When the objective is not to serve, there'll be no commitment and passion, and the person will find it hard to spend few hours of their precious time for meeting and community events. Many didn't even make it pass the first stage of confirmation as EM and get drop off after 3 misses.then parents need to search their own heart, find out how genuinely noble they are in offering rc work.
