Expecting to see more new immigrants to Singapore as community leaders in the future, Singapore's People's Association is planning to induct more of them into the ranks of grassroots leadership, local TV Channel NewsAsia reported on Saturday.

Currently, some 3,000 new immigrants are grassroots leaders. They make up nine percent of Singapore's 33,000-member strong grassroots leadership.

The People's Association hopes to make community leaders out of 300 more new Singaporeans - increasing the proportion of grassroots leaders who are new immigrants from the current nine percent to 10 percent by 2014, according to Channel NewsAsia.
