One of the residents' committees in Fengshan constituency hung out door hangers at housing block flats calling for volunteers.
A snapshot of the flyer was posted online by Workers' Party (WP) member Gerald Giam, who called attention to it:
The former Non-constituency MP had spotted the flyer on Thursday, March 16, while doing house visits in the area.
The flyers mentioned the eligibility criteria and also highlighted some of the perks volunteers can get, such as car parking privileges and priority registration in primary schools for their children.
It also contained a conspicuous grammar mistake, asking, "Who is eligibility to be Residents' Committee Volunteer?"
WP responds
In response, the WP followed up with an online advertisement of its own, "Who is eligibility to be residents' committee volunteer?", designed to resemble the flyer.
