Miss Singapore World Guilty of Credit Card Fraud
Recently crowned Miss Singapore World Ris Low, 19, had earlier been found guilty of credit-card fraud.
The beauty queen was convicted of five charges of misappropriation, cheating using illegally obtained credit cards, and impersonating their users' identities.
The first-time offender was sentenced in May this year to 24 months of supervised probation, said a Subordinate Courts spokesman in response to a query from my paper.
Another 60 charges were taken into consideration for the purposes of sentencing, he said.
Court documents show that Miss Low spent a total of more than $2,400 on at least four separate occasions, using at least three different credit cards in April and May last year.

Gone case. This Ris Low really full of controverises. The other day, she gave an interview which sparked much discussion about the pressing issue of Singlish among Singaporeans. See the video below.
Cannot speak proper English, never mind, so long as she has inner beauty. But being convicted for credit card fraud changes everything and is not acceptable at all.
I think Miss Low should not participate in the Miss World pageant which will be held in South Africa in December. Her previous conduct is a disgrace to Singapore, made me feel feel very ashamed as a Singaporean.
We are known as a clean country with law abiding citizens. Of all the contestants, we have to send a representative who has a record of cheating, very bad for our reputation and integrity.
Beauty pageant organizers must conduct basic checks, like criminal records, porn checks, etc. To surmise, this whole saga very embarrassing.
