Not in my lifetime: MM Lee Li Xueying Tue, Jan 08, 2008 The Straits Times ENVIRONMENTAL consciousness among Singaporeans will come about very quickly when they realise how they will be in trouble when changes in the climate take place. But attaining a gracious society will take more time, said Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew on Monday at a dialogue marking the 40th anniversary of the think-tank, the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS). In fact, he believes it will not happen in his lifetime. 'I will not see it, maybe you will live long enough to see it, I wish you well,' he told 48-year-old economics academic Euston Quah to laughter from the audience of diplomats, academics and government leaders. Dr Quah had asked a question about Singapore's progress in terms of social graces and environmental consciousness just as the country succeeds economically. It will not happen so fast, Mr Lee replied. 'I think it will take more time to develop and mature culturally as a people.' Even the British, he said, were 'sitting at a very high level over an empire for nearly 150 years before they developed their culture and then being invaded by football hooligans and foreigners who are now joining them and coarsening their society'. 'So it's very difficult to get a rough society onto a cultivated plane and it's very easy to bring it down,' he concluded. Environmental consciousness, on the other hand, will come very quickly 'when something happens and they say, you do that, your whole environment changes and you are in trouble'. On the other hand, the idea of a gracious society - 'where people are considerate to one another, where you don't make more noise to upset your neighbour than you need to, where you tell the other motorist, Please have the right of way' - was 'harder to come by,' said Mr Lee. 'It will take time, but I hope it will come with cultivated living over a long period of time.' Mr Lee recalled how, 45 years ago, Singaporeans wanted to take their chickens with them when they were resettled from kampongs into high-rise flats. 'So it took some time to get them adjusted. A more cultivated way of life takes a very long time,' he said. 'I will not see it, maybe you will live long enough to see it. I wish you well.'

  18. yup, just dont go and mix up with simi AD - the moment you sign the contract at ROM, to the heavens both of you are considered MARRIED. so just do the anchuang and stuffs, move in , sleep, AD is just an option, never a MUST. cos the most important thing in AD is to pray to the ancestors, informing them of your marriage. nothing else. most would pray to ancestors on the ROM day - which also means everything is consider SETTLED.
  19. can do the an chuang then sleep mah
