YEW Tee resident Priscilla Chew, 49, has an important task during a ministerial community visit there next month.
She will be keeping other residents who are not able to be present updated through live feeds on Facebook and Twitter.
Ms Chew is among a team of about 10 'roving reporters' made up of grassroots volunteers and Republic Polytechnic students who will be on the ground during the visit by Minister for Law and Second Minister for Home Affairs K Shanmugam on Jan 17.
They will be taking photos, videos and posting short comments about the visit with iPhones. Some will also do live blogging during an hour-long dialogue session with the minister.
These plans and updates on the Yew Tee division were shared by Hong Kah GRC Member of Parliament and advisor to the division Yeo Cheow Tong on Tuesday.
Said Mr Yeo about using new media, 'While we've done a pretty good job of reaching out, it adds an additional dimension to our outreach.' He added that using new media was also in line with the composition of Yew Tee's residents, which are mostly young families.
