Singapore Woman Declares National Emergency Over Pathetic Engagement Diamond

The Ministry of Social Development has issued a Category 5 "Spinster Warning" after local woman Cheryl Lim entered a violent catatonic state.

Ms. Lim’s blood pressure hit critical levels when her boyfriend of six years proposed with a "pathetic" 0.7-carat rock instead of the socially mandated minimum.

"I tell him already, must be VVS1 or don't bother, but he go buy this small-fry thing like bird shit on my finger," Cheryl sobbed while browsing for richer boyfriends.

Eyewitnesses claim the engagement panic spread faster than a limited-edition Labubu queue, with surrounding females immediately checking their own fingers for signs of impending poverty.

"Liddat how to post on IG? My friends all go Iceland for shoot, I stay here wait for what? Wait for death ah?" she screamed at a terrified florist.

Experts suggest the only cure for such bridal hysteria is a $2,000-per-head banquet at the Capella paid entirely by the groom’s suffering parents.
