Ris Low - Let her off.....

Ris Low was crowned Miss Singapore World 2009 on 31 July, 2009. She stepped down on 29 September, 2009.

In addition to winning the crown, Low was also named the following: Miss Community Ambassadress 2009, Miss Lumiere Ambassadress 2009, Miss Best Dressed 2009, Miss Dazzling Eyes 2009, Miss Photogenic 2009, Miss Crowning Glory 2009, and Miss Best in Catwalk 2009.

Singapore forums and websites alleged that Low won the crown underhandedly and was undeserving of the title. There have also been calls for Low to be stripped of her title as Miss Singapore World 2009, largely because of her poor command of the English language. This was apparent in an interview with her mispronunciations resulting in the following phrases: "leopard preens"(prints), "studying steel"(still studying), "something rad (red) and loud", "you know, boomz!", "bigini"(bikini), et cetera. A mocked up video of her interview was uploaded onto YouTube on 31 August, 2009, and has garnered over 200,000 views since then.

On 25 September, 2009, it was revealed that she had been convicted of credit card fraud in May, 2009, and was sentenced to two years' probation. She faced five charges of misappropriation, cheating using illegally obtained credit cards, and impersonating their users' identities prior to winning the title of Miss Singapore World 2009.

On 26th September 2009, Ris Low revealed to The Straits Times over the phone that she has bipolar disorder.

After initially resisting calls to give up her crown, Ris Low voluntarily stepped down on 29th September, 2009.

Even though after stepping down, the media is not letting her off....

《新报》报道，前世姐的家人和支持者，花7500元在52页的新加坡世姐决赛宣传册中买下10版广告，是刊登广告页数最多的佳丽。

她另花4500元包下决赛晚宴3桌宴席，总共花费达到1万2000元。

Translates: Low's family and supporter spent $7500 to buy ten ads on page 52 of Miss Singapore finals advertisement brochure.

She spent additional $4500 to sponsor 3 tables on the finals event. Total damage $12000.

(Pardon my bad translation)

She has already stepped down..... Why is there still a need to put her life back to the limelight for the wrong reasons? If she is really facing some mental related problems. Let's just give her some time to recover and probably one day, she can still do something for Singapore.
