hmmm.. should i take your statement positively or negatively?

Not all singaporean man who marry Vietnamese gals comes from low-income group. There's a terrible misconception that as long as you marry a vietnamese gal, you have bought her from the matchmaking agency. This is terribly wrong. There are many Vietnamese spouse in Singapore that are married to high income and highly educated singaporean man. I have several real life cases.

(1) Vietnamese lady married to Singaporean man. Singaporean man's family the largest shareholder of regional logistics company. Singaporean man educated to Masters level in Australia. Now GM of the logisitcs company, earning in excess of S$250,000 per annum. Stays in Condo, drives new Merc SUV, 3.5L

(2) Vietnamese lady married to Singaporean man. Singaporean man Doctorate in Finance from top UK University, now businessman plying the region. Earn in excess S$150,000 per annum. Drives new 3.2 L SUV.

(3) Vietnamese lady married to Singaporean man. Singaporean man engineer in MNC. Degree holder. Earns a normal salary of around S$60,000 per annum. Vietnamese wife working in private school's marketing, earning around S$25,000 per annum. Stays in 4 room flat and drives a 3 year old 1.6L sedan.


The main thing is that these couples are happily married. Although there are also many vietnamese ladies married to poor singaporean chaps, but we shouldn't just equate Singaporean man with vietnamese wife as `poor and uneducated'

And these couples met somewhere by themselves and is no way linked to matchmaking agencies. Times have changed, its not the singaporean man kanna rejected by singaporean ladies, but its the other way round now. Many Singaporean man have rejected the idea of marrying local singaporean gals after some bad experiences with them.
