The Straits Times
|December 03, 2025
Nominations will open from Dec 15 to Jan 30 for the first batch of a government-funded programme to nurture young leaders in the Chinese community.
The Chinese Community Leadership Programme will take in its first cohort of about 20 participants in mid-2026. It is jointly launched by the Singapore Federation of Chinese Clan Associations (SFCCA) and Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCCI).
At least 100 young leaders will take part over the next five years, the two organisations said in a statement on Dec 1 that provided more details on the programme.
It is open to Singapore citizens in their 30s to 40s who are proficient in both English and Chinese, and actively contribute to the Chinese community or wider society. A nomination form will be available on the SFCCA website at a later date, they added.
