A local Vietnamese bride matchmaking company in Singapore, B & G Vietnamese Bride Marriage Agency, posted an advertising post of one of their brides on Facebook, hoping to help her find a husband in Singapore.
The Facebook post quickly went viral, garnering more than 1,400 shares in 4 days.
The post stipulated that candidates must be below 36 years old and earn a minimum of $4,800 per month just to initiate communication.
The agency’s approach has raised eyebrows, challenging the conventional notion that love knows no financial boundaries. This incident prompts reflection on whether such prerequisites align with the essence of genuine romantic connections.

No boyfriend before. Very lovely lady.
But need to interact with her for 9 months (till she is 18 yrs old), then can get married. Make use of the 9 months to know each other better.
Looking for guys below 36 yrs old and earning at least S$4800. If you are earning less than this, you will find it challenging to be a sole breadwinner with a take home pay of S$3800.
Many marriages with foreign spouses break down due to financial issues. Consider properly.
Marry a Singaporean and have dual income. You will be so much more comfortable with your finances.
