I asked a lao jiao b4, he mentioned there is no fix for dowry. To send monthly depends on your wife's parents whether they have a decent job or business. If your wife's dad drinks n mum gambles whole day, then confirm needs to send monthly over regularly.
I do agree on the fact that if brothers marry Singapore Gals, they will be able to contribute to family income. So the burden for brothers will not be so heavy. If you marry Viet gals, majority of them cannot work in Singapore as they are tied down by limitations like language, culture, educational level etc. Sending money back to their family monthly is required and often, they will also have special requests. So burden will be heavy.

But besides these monetary issues, the difference in how viet gals and local gals treat their husband is great. So it depends on whether are you prepared to have a heavier burden in exchange for better treatment ? Different brothers have different needs and have different ideas, to each their own
