Since its establishment in 1960, the People's Association has been nurturing a more caring and cohesive Singapore. Generations of grassroots leaders have served selflessly, contributing their time and efforts to solve problems on the ground, and to build stronger community bonds. At today’s PA Community Seminar, we reaffirmed our commitment to this important work. While PA’s core purpose remains unchanged, we are refreshing our approach. In particular, we will sharpen our focus on community participation. We want to involve more residents, empower them, and work with them on ground-up solutions. We want to foster a greater sense of ownership and responsibility amongst our residents. Not all will join as grassroots leaders. But we welcome everyone’s participation as community volunteers, so that together we can build a better home for all. I am confident that PA and our grassroots leaders and volunteers will continue to empower the community to turn this vision into reality. Edwin Tong SC (📸: MDDI Photos by Betty Chua)
