A few weeks ago, my cousin send me a YouTube link and asked me to watch it.
I had a good laugh, thinking she was just a contestant. Little did I know that I was in for some surprise. After some Googling, I was shocked to find out that she actually WON the Miss Singapore World title. Her normal appearance aside, it’s a little stupefying that someone with her level of English communication skill can win the title, at all.
Today, I read with amazement the following news:
Miss Singapore World, exposed for credit card fraud of almost SGD $8000!? Just two months prior to the pageant? I thought those title and crown are supposed to be esteemed, a source of inspiration and a model figure for some?
Even worse is the following quote from the paper:
Low also admitted that she started stealing Pokemon cards when she was young and credit cards when she grew up.
Wow. Pokemon cards…
Luckily, she backed out from the finals, and gave up her crown. Otherwise, she will continue to be an embarrassment to Singapore, and netizens will continue to rip on her for having such appalling English.
Frankly though, I don’t really know how Miss Ris Low can continue on without having people constantly talk about her. That’s kinda sad, actually.
