    Despite the risk of social stigma and disapproval from their families, friends and peers, Vietnamese women and foreign men are turning to one of Singapore's largest international matchmakers to find life partners. Mark Lin, originally from Taiwan, claims to have arranged more than 1,000 marriages between Vietnamese women and Singaporean men. Lin, who said he considers love a transaction like any other, offered a look at how he tries to help those willing to pay to find love in the modern world.

    My friend married a vietnamese wife who later gave birth to two intelligent children. It was financially tough for my friend in the initial years as his wife had to be a stay-home mom. Thankfully, as the children grows up, the hardworking vietnamese wife took up nursing course and became a nurse. Both husband and wife run the marriage as equal partners.

      If a woman have to put her child first,the husband must be financially capable,and if she find money more important than a child’s’ life,then she should get a job! Singapore living is too high,either hire a maid or put to daycare also costs money. So I respect that she did full time with her kids when they were young. Kudos! Not every women want to stay at home to look after children. It’s not an easy job!

      if you're marrying someone so much younger than you, from another country and you brought her to your country to give you kids, then taking care of her is the least you could do. stay at home moms make equal contributions to the family simply by pouring their labour into giving you a family and running the household. are they "equal partners" only when she starts working ?

    I've watched 4 mins of the video and I dont find anything wrong with this. Theres a matchmaker s fee and then theres dowry with certified marriage. This is honorable enough. For those who point fingers and create a stigma around this practice, theyre basically brainwashed with foreign ideas regarding relationships, courting and marriage. They buy the whole valentine's day commercial package with movie courtships and romance novels. So when theyre brought into contacts with reality, they fail to accept it. There are numerous hypocrisies in a love marriage which centers around premade compatibility and unrealistic expectations. These types of arranged marriages focus on adapting to each other and actually making it work. It is the persistence and sincerity that determines if a marriage is successful. For those who cry afoul about dowry, well they are descendants of humans who believed in dowry and now they choose to betray their own roots. If a culture is okay with dowry, its noone else's business.

    What this video doesn’t mention is Singapore does not give out permanent residency to Vietnamese brides. If their hopes are that they can migrate to a richer country, or their kid have a better opportunities, they’re wrong. Children born to foreign brides from 3rd world countries, even when born in Singapore, do not get citizenship automatically and in many cases are often stateless for decades.
    The country discriminates against transactional marriages like these. Even if the couple is in fact in love with one another.

    The match-making companies and the Vietnamese representatives have the responsibility to inform the Vietnamese girls that Singapore government does NOT simply issue permanent residency to foreigners married to a Singaporean man. It is naive and ignorant to think Singapore government is easy and has no standards. There are real life cases in the neighourhood that some foreign brides failed to get a permanent residency after many years and they have to return to their countries to give birth and the baby is NOT issued a Singapore citizenship, just because the father is a citizen.

      Because there are many cases of foreigners (not saying which country) and cheating older men of their retirement funds. And when these men got cheated, the women vanish without a trace, and this becomes a problem for the government.
      In order for Sg to issue PR, it will be like going for a job interview, background checks etc to see whether you are lower risk, and what's your value to Singapore.
      Nonetheless, with an aging population, I believe Sg govt is becoming more flexible in issuing since they want to increase the birth rate.

    I can't help but feel that the matchmaker is trying to match "Whiskey" with the wrong women. I'm not sure that those two women he met in Vietnam would be considered "curvy" or "fleshy" to him. He did mention that he prefers his woman to have a bit more flesh. So slim women are out already. The one he met in Singapore and is considering? Easily is more fleshy than those two in Vietnam. But then she married a different guy.....just one month later.
    Love? Forget about love if you're marrying through a matchmaker. At least in the beginning. For the guys, it's about whether he likes how she looks. For the women, it's about securing a better life, being provided for and taken care of, at whatever standard of living each particular woman is seeking. Love may very well blossom much later as they live together as husband and wife, but there's no guarantee. 25% failure rate is only those that you know of that ended in a legal divorce. There may be a lot more that don't get divorced, but each person is leading a separate life.....maybe husband has a mistress or wife got a lover, or both even.

    The girls are young enough to be his granddaughters. There is no love--it's just a transaction. the men need to be more realistic and find someone more age appropriate. once the young girls settle overseas, they will eventually divorce the old men and find their true loves, more in their age bracket. 50 year age gap..what do you expect. he's basically wanting to find a caregiver. The girls come all made up and in their best clothes and the guy goes there in flip flops and spends no effort to looking presentable. He may have more luck just living there for a few months and getting to know the community. The 2nd man, guy in his 40s, his bride doesn't even smile on her wedding day. So sad.

Because of that , a Vietnamese can learn either Cantonese or Mandarin easy and fast. When I travelled to China over 10 years ago. The first few days, I couldn’t understand . However, I started picking up the language at the 5th days I think, and started understanding the conversations between my brother and his Chinese partner. I am not say I can understand the whole story but I believe I was able to understand what they were talking about. I believe if a Vietnamese notices the similarity between Chinese and Vietnamese language, it won’t be hard for them to pick up either Cantonese or Mandarin.

      I do have friends whom married Vietnamese ladies. Singaporeans usually speak English plus their mother tongue. I guess for the match making ones, both the lady and the guy, would be very much inclined to learn to communicate in a common language together. The environment would be useful for the ladies to develop proficiency in a new language too. The Vietnamese ladies whom I knew married to Singaporean guys, tend to learn both Mandarin and English, but the grasp of Mandarin somehow is much better than English… even thought English is the popular working language

      There are several different Chinese dialects/languages. In Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, the Chinese living there are usually Hokkien from Fujian Province but can also be Cantonese, Teochow, etc.
      Mandarin is usually not a first language for older Singaporean men.
      It would be very hard for the Viet girls to learn Mandarin only to find out the Singaporean man can't speak Mandarin very well. So the better option would be English. But, unfortunately the English that the Singaporean man would know is very Singlish. 😅
      Unfortunately, for each match... To fix the language barrier, the solution has be to very specific to the couple. The matchmaker, can't just tell the Viet Girls to learn English.
