FameRank: 6

"Stephen Lee" is a banned former professional snooker-player from Trowbridge, Wiltshire, England. He turned professional in 1992 and was Snooker world rankings/ranked in the top 16 between the 1997/1998 and 2007/2008 snooker seasons, reaching a career-high of fifth in the rankings. He won four List of snooker tournaments#current ranking/ranking titles between 1998 and 2006, reached the semi-finals of the World Snooker Championship 2003/2003 world championship and the final of the 2008 Masters (snooker)/2008 Masters. Thereafter, his form declined dramatically and as a result he dropped out of the top 16 after a run of eleven consecutive seasons, meaning he would no longer automatically qualify for tournaments. A return to form in the snooker season 2011/2012/2011/2012 season saw Lee reach two consecutive finals in ranking tournaments and collect his fifth title, as well as regaining his top 16 seeding. Lee is a heavy break-builder compiling 176 competitive century breaks during his career, and his smooth cue action is regarded by some pundits as the most natural in the game.

I'm really concerned with what's happening. I don't know if the donations will ever stop coming in. I think the people of Singapore are very generous. They are kind and very supportive. They may hear a lot of noise but they have sentiments in them, and they will continue to donate.

Language barriers are the main reason. That causes troubles for those wanting to assimilate and adapt to new environments.

The language barrier is probably the most difficult and takes the longest to overcome.
