Mr Dennis Tan Lip Fong asked the Minister for Culture, Community and Youth (a) how many grassroots leaders and advisers who receive Government benefits are members of the People's Action Party (PAP) branches but not volunteers with the People's Association (PA); and (b) how many are both PAP members and PA volunteers.

Chan Chun Sing (for the Minister for Culture, Community and Youth)

Only grassroots volunteers will qualify for recognition schemes meant for grassroots volunteers. PA does not require grassroots volunteers to declare their political affiliations and, therefore, does not have such records.
