A SPAT has developed between recently dethroned Miss Singapore World Ris Low and the pageant's first runner-up Claire Lee.

Miss Low claims that Miss Lee faked a back injury to save embarrassment in case she was not selected to represent Singapore. Miss Lee denies this.

Miss Low also said that Miss Lee had snitched to the media about her being on probation for credit card fraud. Miss Lee also denies this.

The latest controversy started when Miss Low called Shin Min Daily News last Friday to tell them that Miss Lee had confessed to her about faking a back injury so that she will not 'lose face' if she is not chosen to be the next Miss Singapore World by pageant organiser ERM World Marketing.

Boomz is the one who called up the media! In my previous posting, I thought the media still wants to reap viewership using her boomz power. Apparently, she is the one who's igniting a bigger flame.

Miss Low, 19, a hospitality student at a private school, gave up her crown last week after media reports that she had been charged with credit card fraud last year and was put on 24 months' supervised probation.

When contacted by The Sunday Times on Saturday night, Miss Low said that she had recorded a telephone conversation with Miss Lee in which the latter had admitted faking her injury.

When she played back the recording, a woman - who she said was Miss Lee - could be clearly heard saying she hated the pageant organiser for what they have done to Miss Low.

The woman did mention having a back injury, but nowhere in the conversation did she admit to faking it.

Miss Low said she will be passing the audio recording to Ms Tracy Lee, ERM's event director, today so that the pageant organiser will know that Miss Lee 'has been badmouthing them'.

Asked about how the recording did not have Miss Lee saying she faked the injury, Miss Low said that although Miss Lee did not say so outright, Miss Low knew that the back injury was not serious.

Bipolar symptoms? The recording did not have evidence of the fake injury and in the first place, why is she recording the call between herself and Miss Lee ? Now she's getting boring and ridiculous....
