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.

50+ old, not tall, not handsome, not super rich, yet want a super pretty perfect wife 😂😂😂😂. Wonderful. The way that guy walks also feel like he can't move around much.

the matchmaker has a point, his client needs to be more realistic...

Honestly, I think being a matchmaker is a worthy profession. There are pros and cons in any job. I think that people looking for a life partner and need assistance; this job allows pretty shy people to meet each other.

I think this man is doing a great job introducing women to men even if the failure rate is 25%, which is better than the 50% divorce rate here in the US.

I really enjoyed this . More of these documentaries please !

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.

The best line was " This beautiful lady in my office if u enjoy her come to my office..... 🤣🤣

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.

Very efficient,simple, straight forward and direct

It's easy to poke fun at Mark and his clients. And it's also easy to think that we are somehow different; less transactional when it comes to our search for a partner in the marriage market. Perhaps the difference is not as great as how we imagine it to be.

The "Whiskey" guy is too demanding - you can clearly see he has health issues (walking with a cane and he has a hunchback) yet he wants a woman who's perfect...I'm glad the woman he liked married someone else. But the other woman from Vietnam who married Alvin the bus driver doesn't look happy and she hardly smiled...feel sorry for her. Very sad that people would even need this matchmaking service 😞

It's a fact of life. Women from poor countries are willing to marry foreign men for the opportunity to have a better life. I don't judge them. I don't know what they've been through. ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊

This should be turned into a Netflix show, like Indian matchmaking

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.

This is brilliantly made and amazing to watch. Thank you. Turns out, people all over the world are the same :P

Thx for sharing 😊

As a Vietnamese woman, reading the title itself makes me feel triggered…

I don't know how to feel about this... But if you are trying to marry a foreigner, you could at least learn her language. A language barrier is one of the biggest road blocks.

What this video didn't tell you is, most Vietnamese women married Sg men for citizenship. Once they get citizenship, they will divorce the men. Those who still have a viet boyfriend will bring in their boyfriends in context of being a "worker" and get for them work permits. True story. Happened in front of my eyes many times. So if you are single and want to get married, look elsewhere.

This is very common nowadays. Half of the Singapore men married to a foreign wife. The expectations of Singapore ladies are too high: must meet one of the following criteria: must be super rich / minimum 180cm tall/ must be a white expat

Thanks SCMP for awesome news

interesting story, I guess some part of every generation is having this problem. this would be a job that always exist.

You mean older Singaporean guys No younger one would go this place

Money for love or vice versa in a legal way - that is all I see. These relationships as we all know, are rather fragile for most part.

Most Singaporeans, like Taiwanese and ethnic Chinese from SE Asia, speak one of the Min dialects. Both the Min and Kinh languages are coastal languages, scattered in southern Chinese coast and Vietnames coast. They intercept each other in southern Guangxi.

0:40 very Taiwanese statements, love it

The men are looking for love and companionship whilst the women are looking for a better life. It’s not the same thing.

I read about Vietnamese brides being imported to China, but didn't know it also happens outside of China.

I could watch a whole series of this matchmaker, great video!

There is a very famous Singaporean Man called Kurt Tay that married a Vietnamese Wife, Kim Ngan . She is suffering a lot 😭

Different languages and hard to communicate and understand each other's culture would lead to problems in the marriage

The music makes it even funnier…

As long as both of you are about the money money money, you can pretend to be "happy". I am a living testimony to my own parents, grandparents & all the relatives who are about money. My uncles had mistresses & even brought them to their aunt's house, but hey, everybody's "happy" as they always say. I've never seen a more miserable people in my life. So much money, no soul.

Kieu and Alvin look beautiful together ❤

9:55 i really understand what he talking. Yeah i have that feeling when i first meet my first love.😌 But now i don't have that feeling when i meet other girls.

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.

why not do SEAGATE and Western Digital (merging with Kioxia) / Samsung Electronics / Micron and Sk Hynix?

Do they understand that he been hardworking and she stay relax at home . But I did went to Vietnam , the odd question they asking if I have car license and got car , they feel into money things. Be extra careful , think future and see how it can last .

I was wondering if those Viet women will be given a singapore citizenship after they marry? To my knowledge, it's not easy to obtain one. I came from Switzerland and my dad is half S'porean Chinese-half Dutch white ( my mom's Austrian-German white ). My dad got his S'porean citizenship after living in Singapore for more than a decade, however, I was only granted a PR ( Permanent Resident ) instead of. I'm curious to know.

He needs a nice silk suit, fur coat, crocodile leather shoes, a hat with a feather and a golden cane...change his name to Mark "Love Machine" Lin.

That Singapore man aka client have unrealistic expectation. He should just give up and end the match making service .It's better for everyone including himself. He's like choosing cabbages. Aiyoh. Headache ah.

I also like matchmaker my friend, I almost made this a profession by made a web but too bad I had personal stuff so I cancel it till now, i still like doing it howEver finding woman bride is the most difficult😅

Can somebody explain to me why this short documentary did not explain the match maker explanation of the language difference as the Singaporean man speaks Mandarin Chinese and some English and the Viet women speaks Vietnamese and little English??? There has to be a common language to communicate to each other.

Whiskey is out of touch. Alvin is realistic. Alvin looks normal and married a normal lady. He didn't go for Miss Vietnam. Whiskey is a somewhat disable. He needs to lower his standard.

Felt bad for these guys they're desperate. But still ASEAN indigenous girls on top, no counter 🔥

Making a living connecting people, starting families n creating baby is better than selling weaponry or starting wars!

I think I may open one in Indonesia.

I marry a Vietnamese guy . He's the best ❤

1 year later usually vietnamese wife will run away or with kids back to vietnam

We all know what one is looking for from the other. Win-win all around. Add win Mark's too for the match maker's business and Singaporean population efforts.

This is messed up!

16:25 kiss ah kiss ah Lady: No Them : 😆🥹🎉

singapore man dont have money to feed singapore girl that why need vietnam

A very honourable job. So many single women couldn't find the right person even only go for a date

我爸爸媽媽不了解我就愛我了嘛 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

How to contact this match maker ? Any contact number available ?

Interesting video, but why was the man named whiskey?

lol dude was quick to take her passport as she stood up, i hope it is his passport

Plays International Love by Pitbull

Comments here are Hilarious. 😂 It's no problem finding a woman with Money.

GOING NOW!

What Vietnam men think?how to be Singaporean. Mean willing to living as one?

This video is so biased and hypocritical towards this matchmaker. If he wasn’t honest during his 30 year career, he would not be sought after now.

Interesting

The matchmaker isn't the problem, its some of the customers who are questionable imo.

Why not

I want one like Pham Hanni of New Jeans ahahaha 😅

Will you have to know that these women doesn't comes with warranty.

Alright, I watched the whole video. I now understand why there is opposition against this Taiwanese matchmaker. He is match-making. That is completely fine. Also, both parties are consensual. Completely fine again. The problem is the fact that he is match-making internationally. Males from Singapore and females from Vietnam. This might be seen as an attempt to bring-in foreign individuals into the country, i.e, Singapore, to get citizenship. However, if he is not breaking any laws and all parties are consensual, then I don't see anything wrong with this. 25% failure rate is to expected and quite low considering this is culture-shock, communication-gap involvement. Regarding him being sued by prior clients, well that is again born out of unrealistic expectations. The guy is just a matchmaker. He does not raise those women up from childhood nor groom them to be eligible partners. The final decision is obviously with the male. He holds the money, he holds the ticket to Singapore. Amusing video. :D

She married someone else 1 month later. HAHAHAHA

I'll drink more whiskey so that I can meet Vietnamese women.

This is confusing situation. Is there a shortage of women in Singapore? I didn't get that impression from the "Crazy Rich Asians" movie!

I'm sure some may find true love, but no gold diggers for me.

I want to become your agent for Melbourne

Whisky is crazy😂😂😂😂

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.

Feel very sorry for the ladies. They hv to resort to marrying those kind of men to have a better life- which may not even be a guarantee.

Why don’t they married Vietnamese men ? Should be proud of their identity like my country Malaysia malays are very proud on their race

Is it just me or does anyone else feel that some parts of this video seem wrong, disturbing and illegal? 😬

True they also gt their expectation lah wont anyhw marriage sg man

This Taiwanese man serving as a matchmaker charges way too much money. He is in the business to earn money for himself. Your luck with women depends on yourself. I am annoyed of seeing people going to matchmakers when they already have children and they want more? What? This is insane.

The Phillipines have tons of golddiggers, easier

the real 月老

12:17 what a dumb statement, your mom & dad didnt need to know who you are to love u lol

Well your parents are nicer than mine then. My mother is so sick, she wants me herself 😂.

whiskey XDD

Meh, on the other end of spectrum, even Western males are increasingly flying overseas in hopes for Vietnamese/Filipino mate. More surprised the business is not booming

I think you go maid agency got a better chance of finding a wife than a marriage agency.

Electric shock 😅

Seeing these pure and godly Vietnamese ladies, I am filled with joy and peace. I love them so much! They are so funny and nice and pure and harmless

If this match maker in Yunnan, china. he probably is rich. 1 match in Yunnan, china. Red Envelope are RMB 50k, = SGD $10k.

Why aren't there businesses pairing Singaporean women and Vietnamese men? Feel free to leave your comments below.

China🇨🇳 is Singapore's🇸🇬 largest trading partner. - Hong Kong🇭🇰 is Singapore's second largest trading partner. - Singapore and China both share deep commercial, historical, cultural and people to people ties

这男的也太挑了吧，有一个很好看啊，又白又瘦，身材也好，声音也好听，是不是身体方面不好啊。

Sexist to objectify nonetheless 🙄 “Mail order brides” when there is money to be made regardless of statistics are deplorable. Transactions are transactions. It is what it is. Sums. Don’t argue and proposition your logic as otherwise please, like it isn’t chauvinistic and archaic. Please do not reply or respond to comment. This writer is not for sale, please. No vested interests whatsoever towards any. Thanks, no, thank you! #iykyk

Old short pigs sniffing young cabbages 😂😂☠️ The girl at 8:19, I love her energy but she needs to cool it with the surgeries

I want a Vietnamese wife ☺️

As long as it’s not exploitive or not illegal or not immoral and consensual. 👍🏼

Kinda sad for this fools
