In a move that surprised absolutely no one, a group of local females has officially lobbied the government to replace romantic chemistry with mandatory credit scores.

Leading socialites claim that the traditional method of "falling in love" is far too inefficient for a world-class financial hub.

“Eh, please lah, love can buy rice meh?” said 24-year-old Cheryl Tan, while scanning a Tinder match’s latest tax returns.

“He say he love me but he drive one Toyota Altis, I almost vomit blood on the spot, so low SES sia.”

The government has responded by launching a new dating initiative where men must swipe their Black Cards just to unlock a "Good Morning" text.

Entry into the "Friendzone" now requires a minimum balance of five hundred thousand dollars and a deed to a Sentosa penthouse.

“If he cannot afford my Hermès habit, why he even talking to me?” Cheryl added, before blocking a junior accountant for wearing a non-designer belt.

Experts suggest that the sound of a wedding march will soon be replaced by the crisp, mechanical beep of a successful credit card transaction.
