To me, being gracious is actually to be pleasantly kind, benevolent and courteous to people around us. Graciousness is defined as behaviour of being kind, polite and generous espacially to people who are socially inferior. Like what Joshua said, graciousness is something that needs to be cultivated in Singapore. In order for that to happen, Singaporean parents must teach their children what is graciousnessand how to be gracious. As parents are like the role models of their child, if the parents were to be ungracious, the child will be influenced by their parentsand thus being ungracious as well. As a matter of fact, being gracious is as easy as ABC. Saying "thank you" when someone helped you or saying "excuse me" when as an apology when one interupts are some examples of being gracious. These few sentences are in the minds of each individual but most people in Singapore just refuse to say it out. So if one wants to be gracious, he or she can start by saying "thank you" or "excuse me".
