政府邀百人组工作组 检讨“新加坡公民之旅”内容

自2011年起,新公民在领取公民证书前,都需参加名为“新加坡公民之旅”(Singapore Citizenship Journey)的活动。

活动由国民融合理事会、人民协会和移民关卡局联合推出。这些活动包括上网了解我国历史背景、政策、参观本地古迹和参与分享会等,旨在协助新公民融入我国。

据了解,目前文化、社区及青年部有意邀请100位来自社会不同背景的新加坡公民,组成工作小组,以探讨上述活动内容,收集意见。

部长傅海燕是在昨日向媒体透露,国民融合理事会在去年迎来十周年,故此探讨上述活动内容适逢其时。

她认为,对于新公民应具备哪些特征,应征询国人意见并达成共识。

例如有者反馈成为新公民定义不应仅限于与新加坡人结婚;加之也应理解我国的社会规范、在这里定居许久或已参与国民服役等。

工作小组将在今年3月至7月间,进行讨论会,而公众也能上网提供意见;之后讲提呈报告书,建议预计年底才逐步落实。

目前国人可在下月21日截止日期前,上网申请成为工作小组成员:https://www.ideas.gov.sg/public/cw_scj
