  Wrong.

  Because the village (community) brings up the child, the parents are just guardians.

  Singapore has no more village and therefore one important element of bring up a child is gone. No one teaches the child proper communal or social behaviour anymore.

  That child has grown up and spawn offsprings, that is even more untutored on social  and communal graces.

  The next generation would be even worse.

  But kudos to the rare parent that manages to successfully inculcate good manners in their offsprings.

  its because we dun have an icon or example unlike COURTESY. We had COURTESY LION so now we maybe should an ICON for GRACIOUS like maybe GRACIOUS MONITOR LIZARD or GRACIOUS CHIMPANZEE or GRACIOUS PARROT then we can follow this icon as ambassodors of Graciousness

  Rubbish.

  That is a sweeping statement and may sound offensive to some.
