  Radio, TV and now even Newspaper (Straits Times) are discussion this topic. Here's the summary: * Last year, 6,520 Singaporeans and PR married foreign brides (highest in 10 years) * This means 1 in 4 men who got married last year tied the knot with foreigners. (real figure may be even higher, as some men marry overseas.) * 5 years ago, most customers (of matchmaking agencies) had up to Secondary 2 education. Now they are seeing more and more diploma and degree holders. * In fact, 7 of every 10 customers have a bachelor's degree or higher. * They preferred foreign women because they would be more demure and accommodating. (woman who will put the family and husband first, rather than demand cars, condominiums and credit cards.) * Malaysians girls still form the bulk of foreign brides, but Vietnamese and China brides are gaining ground. "Men unable to find a local wife can use one of the many matchmaking agencies to find brides in the region who are seeking a better life, said Mrs Straughan. This option is not open to women. Also, educated Singapore women with stable careers are not looking to marry just for economic security or to have children."
