'Looking for someone to BTO with me': Man pastes notices in public, sparks debate online
Do Singaporeans only get married for housing?
Well, one 27-year-old man living in Woodlands certainly seems to be furthering that notion.
Several notices popped up around the area earlier this month (Sept 1) stating: «Hi, I'm looking for someone to BTO with me» with the criteria that applicants need to be «friendly and easy-going» and women between the ages of 21 to 35.
It also provided the number of a man going by Don Huang, who told Shin Min Daily News that he had put up 18 of these notices on walls and pillars around Woodlands MRT station and nearby malls.
Huang, 27, told Shin Min that he had been in a relationship around two years ago, which didn't work out. Since then he's been unsuccessful on dating apps and said that the women around him are all attached.
«It's really hard to find a girlfriend in Singapore, and dating apps are expensive, most of them require a payment,» Huang, a store manager of reportedly medium build, claimed.
Huang is also interested in the upcoming Woodlands BTO flats to be released in October, and wants to find a girlfriend before then.
