S'pore men want to bring back wives

SINGAPORE: More Singaporean men are turning to their local MPs
for help to bring their Indonesian wives and children to the
city-state to stay permanently, the Sunday Times reported.

Three MPs told the newspaper they now receive an average of 20
such cases last year compared with two or three cases annually
five years ago.

Most of the men, usually divorced, met their wives on the
Indonesian island of Batam while on a weekend trip there.

"More often than not, most of these men want to settle down
here now they've set up a family," said MP Ahmad Mohamed Magad.
