Given his age, 77 and the fact that he should be comfortably retired and enjoying life, Mr Paul claims that he is indeed enjoying life and loves that he gets to continue helping people. Moving from a trustee position to chairing the temple board, Mr Paul remains humble and yet is fully integrated with the temple. 

He lives a simple life, making his way everyday to the temple from his home in Ang Mo Kio, going through the grounds to take note of works to be done, doing some simple maintenance works, tending to the garden in the compound before settling any admin issues. He is usually here till the temple closes, doing one thing or another but enjoying every moment of it. 

This spirit of helping others has always been innate in him and carries over to his daily life and work as well. In fact, he even sold his house and donated the proceedings towards the temple construction fund and not just a small sum either. What could have ensured a very luxurious retiree’s lifestyle or inheritance for his children or grandchildren was instead donated willingly by him. Mr Paul thanks his wonderful family and says all this was possible only due to their support. In fact, he mentions that his children are simply happy that he remains active rather than sit at home and watch television all day.
