Yesterday's New paper got 1 report about a Singaporean man discovering that his daughter, who was borned in Vietnam, is not his after a DNA test here in Singapore. Just a brief write up. This Singaporean guy, LIM, went to HCMC in 1996. He started a resturant there. He met a vietnamese lady and they fell in love and got married. But it seems that its just customary marriage. They have a daughter. In late 2006, his biz failed and he returned to Singapore. His vietnamese wife also left him for another man. Their daughter was taken care by his wife. After some months, the wife called him saying that she cannot take care of this daughter and ask him to bring the daughter to Singapore. He brought the daughter to Singapore and wanted her to study in Singapore. He wanted to get student pass for his daughter as she was holding on to vietnamese passport. ICA asked him to prove that daughter is his and he took DNA test at HSA. Damm, results came out and daughter not his.
Actually this is a very common sight amongst vietnamese. Often, vietnamese ladies have other thoughts when marrying foreigners. Its either for better life or for the foreigner's country citizenship. Even married, they will still meet their vietnamese bf often. Children come out, they don't even know who the real father is. Very messy relationships, but its common among the vietnamese. I will really think that its not right to allow your wife to return to vietnam for long period of times or even often without you as you will not know who she will really mix around in Vietnam. People always say i stick to my wife , but the main thing is we respect each other and when she wants to go back Vietnam for a break, we go back together. I have seen too many and heard too many examples of such kind, better be careful than to be sorry
