About People's Association

This is our story, but also yours. In 1960, a newly independent Singapore, full of untapped potential, faced a big challenge. People had differing views and beliefs, leading to unrest and uncertainty that threatened our survival. In response, the People’s Association (PA) was formed on 1 st July 1960 to foster racial harmony and social cohesion, and build a bridge between the Government and the people. We began simply, gathering families around black and white TV sets in our Community Centres (CCs) and offering classes where people of all backgrounds could mingle. As Singapore grew and changed, so did the PA. When National Service was introduced, we worked with grassroots leaders to ease worries. As kampungs became HDB estates, we invited neighbours to join the Residents’ Committees (RCs) and carry on the neighbourly spirit. And during crises like SARS and Covid-19, residents, grassroots leaders and volunteers rallied to care for those in need. These moments showed us that Singapore is our home – one where we contribute, stay connected and care for each other. We are excited to keep nurturing this community spirit with you. While the PA’s role has evolved over the decades, our heart remains the same. We are here to create opportunities for you to get involved through events, initiatives, and partnerships across our network of CCs, lifestyle hubs, and grassroots organisations. We want to spark and support your ideas for the community, helping you create change – not just for today, but for generations to come. Picture a Singapore where community participation is part of our daily life – from simple acts of neighbourly care, to volunteering and being part of community initiatives. Together, we can build a future where every contribution adds up to something greater and makes our community even more vibrant. This story is about all of us coming together and sharing our strengths for a caring community and united Singapore. Will you join us in our journey?
