TEN minutes. That's all the cleaning brigade has as cinemagoers walk ou

So instead of the old campaign committees, ST is now running the social grace campaign.

No drinking, eating and having sex in the cinema. This will do away with the cleaning brigade.

Singapore should try to learn from other countries habit. Like having dustbins stationed outside the cinemas and put signs and remind all moviegoers to throw their trash after shows.

Strong evidence that a lot of the inconsiderate behaviour often attributed to S'poreans, actually comes from ugly foreigners (western expats included) living in our midst.

The report stated: "An American couple, who declined to be named, said that a year of living in Singapore had cultivated in them the local habit of not clearing their own trash. With higher ticket prices now, they added, having someone pick up after them should be 'part of the service".

Some of the worst culprits of loud conversations, using of mobilephones & food fights inside cinema halls are, in fact, foreign students of The S'pore American School, Overseas Family School & United World College.

Young & arrogant adults also set a bad example. I once saw a young man being stopped from bringing his soft drink into the cinema hall, as it was not purchased from the cinema's refreshment outlet. The obnoxious man let go of his cup of Coke, which spilled its entire contents onto the carpet at the entrance to the cinema. The usher was too stunned to react, & the young man's girlfriend was so embarrassed that she hurried away. I hope that she gave her boyfriend an earful immediately after.

Spoilt brats and social misfits aplenty. Pathetic.

You create the mess, the filth, the trash, who pay to clean it up when more cleaners are needed to mop and clean after you? You pay more taxes, scream and curse, because you are the Cause not the solution.

The more crimes, the more policemen needed.

The more motorists break rules, the more TP needed.

The more filth you leave in cinemas, etc., the more cleaners needed.

You pay more taxes and you scream. Do humans understand the Cause?

I think the cinema operators have their parts to play too. There should be a dustbin just after the exit for people to throw their stuff. Personally, I always have to carry my cups and bags all the way till I reach outside to dispose of these rubbish.

They need a super big one.

Some people said that the more dustibins you have in public, the more will be the overflowing trash. How true? I don't know. Easy, try it out lor.

I dont think "No sex" part can be implemented in Yangtze Cinema in chinatown...
