The Rich Vietnamese - These rich vietnamese normally hope to be able to attain the citizenship of western countries, while still stay in Vietnam to earn the money. New to this group are the businessman who got rich thru many means like property investments, stock investments and other form of businesses. They normally want to send their children to the western countries like USA, UK and Europe. But due to insufficient evidence of income (as most of them do not report income tax), the visas for their children are normally not granted. Then they choose to come Singapore. (actually majority of students who come singapore are those that failed the university entrance exams). These young vietnamese man are pretty lazy and often indulge themselves in alcohol. After a few years in Singapore (with damm frequent trips back to vietnam in between), they go back to Vietnam without any certificate. They just hope to depend on their parents and the wealth created by their parents to live a lifetime.

The Middle Class Vietnamese - this is an emerging group in vietnam. Although still small, but they are the professionals. They are educated in Vietnam (as their families are normally not rich enuff to send them abroad) and find themselves landing in average paying jobs. They work hard and often find themselves climbing the corporate ladder. These are the vietnamese man that commands respect.

The poor - uneducated and lazy, young man from this group often depend on their family members for survival. If they have any relative abroad, they will ask them for monthly pocket money. They prefer to seat in a cafe and waste their life away then to work hard. Parents often also allow their sons to waste their life this way while asking and pressuring their daughters to work as WL to support the whole family.

Many Singaporeans are helping to support the young men from the last category.
