Not all China women chase S'pore men
The New Paper
Tuesday, Aug 14, 2012
Who: Deng La Mei, 44
Job: Study mama
From: China
Came to S'pore: March last year
Do I belong?
I did my homework when we (she and her husband) decided to send our son, 16, to study here. He's in Secondary 2 now.
I heard of how Singaporean women are wary of or don't like Chinese study mamas because they have wrecked many happy homes.
At first, people give me "the look" when I say I'm a study mama - it's like saying, "Yes, we know what you are up to."
But after more than a year here, I feel it's okay.
Singaporeans, in general, are not hostile, you just have to take the effort and be sincere in how you treat people.
I just want the best for my son so he can have a good future.
Singapore offers a good platform for education and with the right foundation, I'm more confident of my child's well-being.
I don't think it's fair to tar us all with one brush.
But not every Chinese woman is after a Singaporean man or husband.
