Anyone ever thought of getting a foreign wife? Or what you will say as a villager wife? What are you the thoughts and what hold you back from going for it? Anyone with the experience? Any thoughts or experience to share? BTW I am not focussing on those who marry foreign friends or colleagues but those who go for matchmaking agencies. Heard they are popular.... Haha. Don't think there is a thread on this yet.

Been happening for some time but this is a very good case where both cannot meet minimum sum https://singaporeuncensored.com/couple-divorce-so-they-can-buy-another-hdb-flat-to-earn-rental/ COUPLE DIVORCE SO THEY CAN BUY ANOTHER HDB FLAT TO EARN RENTAL ByHello Its me September 8, 2022 Bumped into an ex-colleague (who is the same age as me) earlier and had an interesting brief catch up chat over coffee. He and his wife are now divorced. But except that there is nothing wrong with their marriage and they are still living together. The sole purpose of getting the divorce is to be able to buy ANOTHER HDB FLAT (under the singles scheme). So they collectively own two HDB flats as two single individuals. You see, he was a manager that had recently been displaced by cheaper foreign labour. As all of us know, at our age, there is a real challenge in getting a job that would pay him a decent salary. Yes, there are lots of employers that wants to hire him. He is, afterall, a qualified professional with a wealth of 30 years’ experience behind him. However, these greedy employers are just not willing to pay him his worth and wants to exploit his skills and experience for a mean salary. He refused to prostitute his skills for a low salary. He end up driving a cab that (ironically) pays him more than any of the offers that he had received. He won’t be getting any of his CPF money next year because he won’t be able to meet his minimum sum. All his past CPF contributions (more than $800K) had already gone into his 5rm HDB flat that they are staying in now. His wife has some CPF left but she (too) won’t be able to get a single cent out in a few years’ time because she (too) won’t be able to meet the minimum sum as well. So they planned, got a divorce and bought a second HDB flat just before they could lock away her CPF as the minimum sum in her CPF. They then moved into the new flat and rented their older flat out legally because he had already and duly met the “Minimum Occupation Period” required for the legal renting out for that flat. And this rental income will serve an additional passive retirement income. When I asked if he would be flouting any HDB regulations by doing that, he replied, 1) They are legally divorced and they are both legally SINGLE now. 2) He can retain the existing 5rm flat under the singles scheme and his wife is eligible to buy another flat under the singles scheme. 3) There is no law in this land that prohibit two single persons (divorced or not) from living together as a couple regardless if they were previously married or not. 4) At his age, being legally married is just a marital status. It doesn’t stop them living together as man and wife. They both had made their wills. 5) Instead of having the money stuck as a minimum sum in their CPF, they might as well utilise whatever that they can get out of their CPF so as to get an alternative passive income since:- – – a) they won’t be able to get any of their CPF money anyway – – b) even when they do get their CPF monthly payouts after the age of 65 yrs old (which is still a long way to go), the amounts will be so miserable that they would hardly be able to do anything decent with it anyway… – – c) so…. they might as well get a second HDB flat with whatever money that they can siphoned out from their CPF (before the money is being locked away instead under the minimum sum)…. rent it out and (at least), the monthly rental income of $2,500 can help them live a more dignified retirement IMMEDIATELY (right away) rather than waiting till they reach 65 yrs old for that miserable delayed CPF payout that is so insignificant…. Thinking aloud now…. could this be the new norm of retirement in Singapore that Singaporeans will be planning for? Wouldn’t it be so sad that we have to come to this, in order that we can respond to how our hard-earned CPF money is being wilfully and forcefully withheld from us…

Photo: Handout A 45-year-old man in China is divorcing his wife of 16 years after discovering the three daughters he raised are not his biological children. The man, surnamed Chen, from Jiangxi province, eastern China, has filed for a divorce from his wife, surnamed Yu, after discovering she cheated on him during their marriage and that the couple’s three daughters were conceived with another man. Chen worked away from home to support his family, but said he initially never suspected his wife of infidelity as they maintained close contact with frequent voice and video calls. However, he became suspicious earlier this year when his wife started avoiding his calls and said she wanted to work away from home, China Jiangxi Radio and TV Station reported yesterday. Chen discovered his wife’s cheating after tracking her phone’s GPS to a hotel where she was with another man. Photo: zhihu.com Chen decided to follow Yu by tracking her mobile phone’s GPS location. On March 1, Chen traced Yu to a hotel in eastern China where she was staying. The next morning Chen saw his wife checking out of the hotel with a man she had been having an affair with. Chen initially forgave Yu, but sought a paternity test that revealed their youngest daughter was fathered by another man. However, Chen chose to stay in the marriage to keep the family together. This changed when further paternity tests revealed the couple’s other two daughters were also not Chen’s biological children. After this shocking revelation, Yu disappeared and Chen was unable to locate her. He then sought help from local media and was pictured crying with his head in his hands during an interview with China Jiangxi Radio and TV Station. “None of them was my own child,” said Chen during the interview. Yu, however, remained unrepentant and when tracked down and interviewed by the TV station, she reasoned her behaviour was not infidelity. “I don’t think I cheated on him. Is biological paternity really important? Couples who are sterile adopt kids all the time,” Yu said in a phone interview. She also criticised Chen for seeking a divorce after discovering their three daughters were conceived with another man. “Please try to empathise with me. The three children called him ‘dad’ for many years, but now he says the daughters are not his own. What is the difference between him and an animal?” Chinese social media was filled with commentary critical of Yu’s behaviour and disrespect towards her husband. “How upset the husband was! Is Yu mentally ill?,” asked one online commenter. Chen’s wife was unrepentant about her deception and asked if a blood relationship with a child is so important? Photo: zhihu.com Another asked: “Chen could get compensation with the help of the courts. But how can he heal his broken heart after 16 years? “The husband could file for a divorce if he believed his wife’s behaviour severely harmed their relationship,” a lawyer, surnamed Zhou, from Beijing Zhongchi Law Firm told China Jiangxi Radio and TV Station. “When he applies for a divorce, not only would the law encourage him to ask his wife to reimburse support payments and other expenses he paid for the three children, but he could also seek damages for psychological suffering.” Another lawyer, surnamed Yu, from AllBright Law Offices told NetEase: “Chinese law regulates that the person who caused harm to the other partner in a marriage may lose any share of assets in a subsequent divorce.”

https://www.asiaone.com/singapore/delivery-rider-works-16-hours-day-family-realises-wife-cheating-him-son-not-biologically-his?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR0MWTPNEqJY8EUzgh9oUBPtKK4idv63_d2Jt1xX_kIBeZvYuspZE1xkUDU#Echobox=1659256541 Delivery rider works 16 hours a day for family, realises wife cheating on him, son not biologically his. JULY 31, 2022 PUBLISHED AT 4:31 PM By KWOK KAR PENG Shin Min Daily News He was shocked when he found out his newborn son had a different blood type from him and his wife. But when told by a doctor that it could happen, he didn't think too much of it. But the reality turned out to be much harsher — the 27-year-old man known as Lin recently found out that the baby, now 10 months old, isn't his biological child. This food delivery rider in Singapore told Shin Min Daily News yesterday (July 30) that in March this year, he found that his 29-year-old wife often left home early and returned only late at night. In May, he said that he also saw her hugging another man. The couple had been married for close to 10 years and have three children. At a relative's suggestion, Lin did a paternity test in June for his youngest son. The truth sent him reeling. During a fight, he said his wife admitted the boy isn't biologically his but her lover has "nothing to do" with it. The betrayal cut especially deep; Lin told the Chinese daily that he works 16 long hours a day, from 10am to 2am, to support the family. He earns $6,000 to $7,000 a month and gives most of it, about $5,000, to his wife, keeping the remaining amount for food, petrol costs, cigarettes and the occasional lottery ticket. He said that he has bought a property and employed a maid for the family. Last year, he said he paid about $80,000 for a second-hand seven-seater vehicle so that it's easier for his wife to send the children to school. He added: "My wife works in accounts. She's in charge of the expenses at home as well as the housing and car loan repayments. I love and trust her a lot. I give her all my money and hardly have any savings." Maid told him about affair Lin told Shin Min he travelled overseas last month to handle some matters and received a message from his maid informing him that an unfamiliar man was spending the night at their home. She also took a photo of the man, adding she had informed his wife's mother. Lin later called his mother-in-law, who confirmed that she had met the other man but didn't have the heart to tell Lin about it. Lin's wife said that she now wants a divorce and wants their marital home as well as custody of the three children. But despite all that has happened, he hopes that she can return to him. He said: "She complained to me before that I was always working and didn't spend time with her and that it was like not having a husband at all. But we have three children and a housing loan. I told her I want to give her and the kids a good life. I thought she would understand. However, things turned out like this." When he asked her why she wants to leave, she reportedly told him they don't communicate anymore. Lin added, despite finding out his youngest child isn't his biologically, he still loves his son a lot. "In the last month, my wife didn't really take care of him. I would be the one cradling him, feeding him milk and soothing him in the middle of the night. That's why our bond is especially strong. If my wife insists on leaving, I'm willing to raise the three children."

Just read this about the "Gold Miss" in Korea Looks good, SLK and co... FYI https://www.straitstimes.com/opinion/south-koreas-gold-miss-looking-for-love-overseas By elite, he means a bachelor with a professional career, college degree, good family background and earning a minimum annual salary of US$200,000 (S$268,000). In return, he promises a highly educated Korean woman who is raised well under her parents' supervision to be a good wife, wholly devoted to her husband and children and passionate about taking good care of them, highly interested in the children's education, and who will strive to have a harmonious family. I know, not all Korean women look like these stars, but the average lady sans surgery is still sweet, and besides, the character and heart matter more right? https://origin.koreaboo.com/stories/heres-gold-miss-means-in-korea-actually-positive-thing/ May our bros find someone they can love too, locally or overseas..

This led CPF Board to disburse more than $86,000 to Tan Kah Poh, 71, his wife, Toh Poh Choo, 70, and the defunct company he was the sole director of.

Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean's wife, founder of a stroke support charity, dies aged 67 https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/politics/senior-minister-teo-chee-heans-wife-founder-of-a-stroke-support-charity-dies-aged SINGAPORE - Ms Chew Poh Yim, the founder of a stroke support charity who held leadership roles in NTUC FairPrice and the wife of Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean, died peacefully on Sunday (Oct 31). The 67-year-old founded Stroke Support Station (S3) in 2015, an initiative that was started by volunteers to support stroke survivors and caregivers. S3 programmes are supported by medical professionals and therapists from various acute and community hospitals in Singapore. Ms Chew started the charity after realising that there was a need for increased community support to reintegrate stroke survivors into society and ensure their well-being. She helmed various portfolios at NTUC FairPrice, including in procurement and marketing and corporate communications, and was general manager of NTUC FairPrice Foundation. She had more than 25 years of experience in management, marketing and branding in the consumer and retail market. Ms Chew was a supporter of community programmes for the elderly through collaborations with institutions such as the National University Health System and People's Association. She was also on the board of trustees of SingHealth Foundation (now known as SHF-Foundation) and a former president of Girl Guides Singapore. She graduated from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. Marine Parade GRC MP and FairPrice group chief executive Seah Kian Peng told The Straits Times on Tuesday that he treasured Ms Chew's friendship. "I know Poh Yim in two capacities. She was of course the ever gracious, thoughtful and caring Mrs Teo Chee Hean. We were also colleagues at NTUC FairPrice for a period of close to 10 years where we worked together closely. "In the different roles she took on, she was always thinking of the organisation, the staff and customers. From time to time, we would also share our views on various matters and on topical issues," he said. He described her as an authentic and forward-looking colleague, with a positive outlook and clarity of thought. "She was firm but fair. I found it easy to talk to her and appreciated her views... We will all miss her." A private family funeral was held on Tuesday. Ms Chew leaves behind Mr Teo, a son, a daughter and a grandchild. All donations received will go to S3, NUS Mind-Science Centre, Girl Guides Singapore, the NCCS Cancer Fund, and Assisi Hospice. The family requests no wreaths.

LONDON (AFP) - - A British man fed up with his wife's complaints advertised her for sale -- and got a number of offers. ADVERTISEMENT "Nagging Wife. No Tax, No MOT. Very high maintenance -- some rust," wrote Gary Bates, 38, in a small ad in Trade-It, more usually used to buy and sell cars or household goods. Bates, a self-employed builder from Gloucestershire, southwest England, snapped after his wife Donna on got on his nerves while she was watching television and decided to place the ad as a joke. "She was nagging me for doing something small, while she was watching some rubbish on TV. So I just thought I'd put an ad in to get rid of her. "I didn't think anyone would ring up but I've had at least nine or 10 people calling about her. It's gone mad. There was no one I knew -- just people asking, 'Is she still available?'" The couple only married last year, and Bates said his 40-year-old wife -- whom he advertised in the magazine's Free to Collect section, along with some of his fishing tackle -- initially gave him "a bit of an ear-bashing." But he said: "She's seen the funny side of it now though!"

It seems like you can transfer your NCD to your parents/wife/siblings. NTUC Income Dialogue Can NCD be transferred from one person to another? (eg. between parent and child, between siblings) Answer : NTUC Income has been quite flexible. For example, a policyholder wrote in saying that he owns 2 cars, and that the second car under his name is actually driven by his wife for the last 5 years. He wants us to transfer the NCD his wife We checked and found out that his wife has indeed been driving the car all along, and with good record. Thus, we will allowed the transfer of NCD. What is the pros and cons of doing this? Is it only with NTUC or with other insurance companies too?

Creative Japanese father prints life-sized cardboard cutouts of wife so son won’t cry in her absence source: https://mothership.sg/2019/12/japan-father-print-cardboard-cutout/ Sometimes, parenthood presents its own unique obstacles, which may require some ingenuity to overcome. One father in Japan certainly rose to the challenge. Fooling son with realistic cutout In a tweet, which has since amassed over 47,000 retweets and around 123,000 likes, one @sato_nezi showed how he solved his son’s separation anxiety while his wife was away. Sato shared that his one-year-old child would start to cry uncontrollably whenever he lost sight of his mother. Which led to some rather resourceful parenting methods. Sato decided to print a life-sized cardboard cutout of his wife, perhaps to trick his son into thinking his mother was still around. For added realism, the cutout was even printed in two different poses, one of the mother standing, and another of her kneeling down. Here are photos of the innocuous cutout, placed in appropriate parts of the house. And it seems the method worked. Look how happy he is. Another video posted on Twitter The video shows Sato added that his son was fooled for about 20 minutes, and said the cutout “could be a lifesaver”.

As above. would u: 1) talk and ask her the reason(s) 2) divorce her? 3) look for ONS/sex worker? To Mr Mod: If this thread is rude or offensive, pls delete them.

Man in Thailand has 4 wives who don’t mind sharing A Thai man has four wives who don’t mind sharing him with each other. His first wife says she's proud of him.Happily ever afterAccording to Malaysian Chinese news site, the husband initially went viral on the Internet for having three wives. Perhaps not content with a crowd, the man recently gained a new wife. Polygamy, which is having more than one husband or wife, has been banned in Thailand since 1935. That particular ruling means only his first wife, Waraphon Pruksawan, is legally married to him. Despite this, all the children born to him and his other ‘wives’ take his surname. First wife proud of him Pruksawan said it is better for her husband to be open about his relationships with women, rather than having an affair behind her back. She also asked netizens to not worry about her. She added that before Pruksawan takes on a new wife, he has to get her permission first. Saying that she married him not for money, but because they have been through a lot together, Pruksawan said “the entire family loves one another”.

Wife goes: "Yr mother ah....pisses me off, stubborn freak, cant stand her....!" Mother goes:" yr wife ah...unappreciative, complain this , complain that....!" Ring a bell, guys? To some lucky ones, this may sound alien. Unfortunately, majority of the guys face these ill fate.Between the protracted tug of wars, sad to say you can never take side. If you do, you are either labelled as defensive or offensive. Chinese saying "one mountain cannot hide 2 tigers." IMHO, its very true. Truce is never found in their dictionary. Interestingly , you are the man of her(wife)life and you are also the forever little boy in her(mother)eyes. These 2 bigots trying to overthrow each other to gain tyranny. Whoever wins, the guy is usually the casualty. Torn between these 2, how well and happy can he be..? One is his love and the one is his mother, how? Guys How do you handle such similar situation if any? Any experience to share? Gals What would you like your man to do ? Listen..Defend...Silence? I hope this is not contentious.

Surprise no one post this news. Does that means, time to up other people wife and get compensated? Pity the guy....go jail and may even lost his job at SAF Cha bor not bad looking ======================================== http://http://www.tnp.sg/news/singapore-news/jailed-beating-man-bed-nearly-naked-wife JAILED FOR BEATING UP MAN IN BED WITH 'NEARLY NAKED' WIFE HUSBAND JAILED FIVE WEEKS FOR PUNCHING MAN HE FOUND ON BED WITH WIFE Jul 27, 2016 6:00am BY TAN TAM MEI Any man who sees his wife nearly naked on their marital bed with another man would react to a certain degree. This was the mitigation that army regular Shawnald Lee Hong Heng's lawyer put forth in court yesterday. In July last year, Lee, 25, returned home to find a man on his bed, next to his wife, who was lying shirtless in bed. He then punched the man in the face several times because he thought the man was trying to take advantage of her. Lee was sentenced yesterday in court to five weeks' jail after pleading guilty to voluntarily causing hurt to Mr Donovan Quek Hon Yong, 25. The incident happened on July 10 at 1.30am at Lee's flat in Yishun. Investigations revealed that around 1am, Lee's wife, Ms Tricia Wong Kai Yan, 23, had been out drinking with friends at a pub. She was drunk and her friend, Mr Quek, took her home in a taxi. Lee arrived home at around 1.30am. WAIT His friend, Mr Tan Jing Sheng, 25, waited for him at the void deck of the block while Lee went upstairs. They had planned to go drinking if Ms Wong was asleep. The court heard that when Lee entered his bedroom, he saw Mr Quek sitting on their bed, next to his "nearly naked wife" who was lying down and looking drowsy. He presumed that Mr Quek was trying to take advantage of his wife and punched him several times. Mr Quek did not retaliate. Lee stopped only when his wife intervened. It was not stated in court if Lee knew Mr Quek. Lee then went downstairs and returned to the flat with his friend to get an explanation from his wife. When Lee saw that Mr Quek was still in his home, he tried to hit him again but Mr Tan restrained him. Lee's wife then explained that it was a misunderstanding. Shortly after, Mr Quek made a police report and was taken in an ambulance to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, where he was treated for his injuries. In Lee's mitigation, his lawyer, Mr T. M. Sinnadurai, called for a probationary sentence. He said this was Lee's first brush with the law, and he had a two-year-old daughter and an elderly mother to care for. Lee's wife has been in a drug rehabilitation centre since February this year for consuming drugs. Mr Sinnadurai said: "When any man sees his wife on the bed with a man, to a certain degree, he will react... the emotional disturbance of seeing his wife almost naked on the bed, he just lost it." However, District Judge Lee Poh Choo said Lee went overboard. Deputy Public Prosecutor Jason Chua said the prosecution could not confirm what Ms Wong was wearing that day. He said Lee told his lawyer that he had seen his wife shirtless and in her panties when he walked into the bedroom. But in the statement Lee gave the police, he only said his wife was shirtless, and her legs were covered by a blanket, said the DPP. Mr Chua also acknowledged that while the incident was a "unique situation", probation was inappropriate. He asked for a sentence of six to 10 weeks' jail. For his offence, Lee could have been jailed for up to two years and fined $5,000. JUDGE: LEE WENT OVERBOARD District Judge Lee Poh Choo said that while she understood why Shawnald Lee Hong Heng had reacted emotionally to the scene before him, Lee had gone overboard when he severely injured the victim, whom he found sitting on his marital bed with his near-naked wife. Judge Lee said: "Does that warrant punching the victim several times? Even after his wife intervened, he continued trying to hurt the victim." Medical reports said Mr Donovan Quek Hon Yong suffered injuries including a black eye, fractures in the eye socket area and loose and chipped teeth. He was given four days of medical leave and underwent surgery to repair the fractures later that month. Earlier this year, Mr Quek also had dental implants to replace some teeth. Judge Lee also took issue with what she perceived to be Lee's lack of remorse due to the absence of an apology or compensation to the victim. In response, Lee's lawyer, Mr T. M. Sinnadurai, said his client had expressed regret for his actions in the mitigation and also understood the seriousness of the injury he inflicted. But the judge said: "Words are easy to say. Has he offered compensation, especially since the victim incurred medical expenses?" Mr Sinnadurai then revealed that Lee had earlier offered $4,000 as compensation for the victim's medical expenses. But DPP Chua said that while Lee had been willing to make compensation to Mr Quek, no amount was stated, and there was no follow-up after. The judge then chided Mr Sinnadurai for not knowing whether or not the compensation had been accepted.

advert for a house in Indonesia has gone viral online after the woman selling it offered to throw in an unusual extra feature for free -- her hand in marriage. The Internet ad reads for the most part like a regular house listing, saying that the single-storey property has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a parking space and a fish pond. But it also proposes to buyers a "rare offer" -- "when you buy this house, you can ask the owner to marry you", alongside a picture of Wina Lia, a 40-year-old widow and beauty salon owner, leaning against a car in front of the house. The ad said that terms and conditions apply, and notes the offer is "for serious buyers and non-negotiable". The house in Sleman, on the island of Java, is on the market for 999 million rupiah (about $75,000). News of the offer quickly spread among Internet users in social media-crazy Indonesia. Boldies99, a user on popular online forum Kaskus, said Lia was "quite smart -- even though the house will be sold, she will remain the owner." Lia told AFP she was "shocked at the reaction", as she had been overwhelmed by journalists coming to interview her, and even the police in the conservative, Muslim-majority country had been asking questions. The police "came to verify the news as they consider it as an improper advertisement. But I explained to them that it was not my idea," she said. The mother of two explained that she had asked a friend who was a property agent to help her find a buyer -- and in the process a husband -- but she had expected him to pass on the news to a limited number of people, not put an ad online. "I told a friend of mine who also works as property agent that if there is a buyer who is a single man or a widower who wants to buy a house, and at the same time look for a wife, he can let me know as I'm also a widow," she said. She added that there was only one potential buyer, who had visited on Wednesday, but refused to give further details.

Dear All, My wife got into an accident recently with a car under my name. Damage was in the 15k region and the car was a write-off. The car was under my name, so I am guessing my future premiums will be affected. If I were to buy another car, should I put it under her name or my name? Generally whose premium will be higher? Aside from our gender, our profiles are fairly similar. Thanks.
