Singapore Women Now Reject Proposals Lacking Full Financial Projection

In a move that has shocked absolutely no one who has ever waited for a bus on a Tuesday, Singaporean women have once again raised the bar for matrimonial expectations, demanding proposals that rival the complexity of a new MRT line construction. Forget knee-dropping; sources confirm that the minimum acceptable standard now involves a holographic projection of the couple’s future HDB flat, complete with mandatory five-room configuration, followed by a flash mob performing choreography from the latest Mandopop hit. "Wah piang eh, if you don't hire a drone team to spell out 'Marry Me Lah' above Marina Bay Sands, I simply cannot say yes, steady pom pi," confessed 28-year-old Cheryl Tan, adjusting her diamond-encrusted AirPod Max. Experts warn that if this trend continues, future proposals will require the groom-to-be to submit a fully costed 10-year financial plan endorsed by MAS before the ring is even presented.
