Lonely hearts: the Singapore matchmaker helping Asian men find Vietnamese brides
Mark Lin has matched some 1,000 couples in 31 years, in a business viewed by some critics as akin to human trafficking.

For 31 years, True Love Vietnam – based in Orchard Plaza, a shopping centre replete with beauty spas and massage parlours – has specialised in finding Vietnamese partners for single men, mainly from across Asia.
It is the brainchild of Mark Lin, who first identified a market gap in the early 1990s when men from South Korea, China and Singapore started flocking to Vietnam to find wives.
Vietnam’s economy was opening up to foreigners, and as money and culture moved, working-class single men across Asia seized the chance to wed abroad. Vietnam offered a much larger pool of potential wives, allowing men to be choosier in terms of looks, age and even virginity status.
Interesting, but why isn't he finding Chinese, Korean and Singaporean wives for Vietnamese men?
For Vietnamese women, the appeal of Singapore lies the prospect of a more materially comfortable life,
Ahh, of course.
and stricter laws against domestic abuse
Jfl, they just had to include some bluepill babble there. Yeah, I'm sure that something like that is the reason why women from the 3 756,49 USD GDP per capita Vietnam are trying to get together with men from the 72 794,00 USD GDP per capita Singapore. The domestic abuse laws are the main attractor there, sure.
“I’m looking for a husband who is faithful, loving, and values family. Singapore is a clean, modern environment that shapes people’s personalities in the same way,” said Hong Thu, a 29-year-old nail technician. “That’s why I love Singaporean men.”
The women are not without their demands. Tien, a 29-year-old owner of an online cosmetics business, expects her future husband to be “good-looking, over 1.7 metres tall, financially stable, and capable of taking care of his wife and children”.
“I am not looking for a useless man,” she said.
She knows that others may perceive her as a “gold-digger”, but pays that no mind, saying “my life is mine”.
Jfl, your looks and height always matter, even to dirt-poor foreign women and self-described gold-diggers trying to move to your country for a better life.
One of them is a 50-year-old divorcee and father, who uses the alias Whiskey to avoid flak from his family. While Whiskey does not work, Lin confirmed that he comes from money. His year-long journey with Lin involved two failed trips to Vietnam, wherein the women that he developed “magnetic” emotional connections with chose to go another way. It was only on his third foray to Ho Chi Minh City that he found someone to wed. He is now waiting for her to move to Singapore so that they can officially marry.
I sure wonder what it was that led those women to develop "magnetic" connections with an old-money dude from one of the richest places on Earth.
“Vietnam is getting more developed, and [the women] can make money,” he said. “Ten years from now, it will not be as easy to find and marry a Vietnamese woman.”
Hopefuel for Vietcels that their humiliation might end tbh.
