You take the word out of my tongue.So, the facts are:
(1) Not all foreign (non-Singaporean) women are poor or coming from poor family who think that Singaporean men are rich. In my case, if i would like to simply get a rich husband, I would have looked for my fellow indonesian-chinese as most of their families have own businesses, compared to singaporeans who mostly come from working-class families (no offend intended). I believe this scenario is also applicable for some women coming from vietnam, cambodia and other 3rd world countries.
(2) Many foreign women are highly educated in western countries and come to Singapore for good jobs. Many obtain their Singapore PR through their own means, meaning by getting the Employment Pass and then applying for PR through the Professional Personnel scheme, and not by relying on their Singaporean husbands to apply for them.
(3) Not all Singaporean men purposely prefer to marry foreign women than to marry Singaporean women. Most of the time, it's just fate that brings people together, regardless of the nationalities.
(4) Not all foreign women are more submissive than the singaporean women. I think this depends a lot on the woman's education level, financial independence, self-respect, family upbringing, etc. Anyway, i feel that in marriage, there're times that we have to be submissive to our partner's needs. Being submissive doesn't always mean that we're on the losing end.
We're almost exactly on the same boat.
May I also add that the environment for upbringing plays biggest part in an individual traits. It's about how you've groomed & what you regard as priorities in your life. Fate do have its portion in marriage, but I believe hard work & understanding makes up the rest of the ingredients. Many marriages failed because each person speaks a different need with none wanting to compromise.
