Cupid has just got some competition from mums and dads keen to matchmake their still-single adult children.

Helping the parents are 'dating coaches' Jackiey Kwek, 33, and Lydia Gan, 34, founders of local dating agency Clique Wise.

They will host Singapore's first parental-matchmaking session for Singaporeans and permanent residents this afternoon at Hong Lim Park. About 50 parents, aged 50 and above, are expected to turn up for this free event, which will see them exchanging photos and biodata of their children.
