How can Citizens work towards the good of Society?
Influencing Government Decisions
As Individuals
Through citizen feedback
Examples: OSC or REACH
In Formal Groups
Informal groups lack credibility, and must present a unified front before being able to influence the government
NGOs can raise attention to less suited areas of government policy, helping in refining future policies
Example: HOME and TWC2 giving recommendations to improve foreign domestic worker living conditions
Contributing to the Needs of Society
As Individuals
Volunteer at NGOs or charities
Example: Willing Hearts
In Groups
Formal
Meet a wider range of issues and devote more significant, ongoing resources as an NGO
Example: Nature Society of Singapore
Informal
Meet short-term needs and necessities, like in a time of illness or difficulty
Example: Giving hand sanitizer to neighbours during pandemic
