Ris Low Back With A Boomz As Safe-Sex Promoter
Ris Low, the beauty queen who was subjected to much ridicule for her poor diction and credit card fraud, is now back with a boomz... as a promoter of safe sex.
Miss Low was appointed as a youth ambassador by Singapore-based firm Zander Asia, distributor of Espire condoms. She will conduct talks on safe sex in schools, and use her blog to spread the message too.
I think the past year has been fruitful for Ris Low. For better or worse, she was ranked as one of the 25 most influential people in Asia for 2009 by CNN.
Though Ris Low has commited a crime and cannot speak proper English, I think Singaporeans should be supportive of her efforts to reinvent herself and strike out a new career (see video below).
Earlier this month, she revealed that she wanted to organise her own beauty pageant and has found a new job as a clinic assistant in an Aids clinic. She has also signed up for a part-time diploma in certified counselling psychology at the Academy of Certified Counsellors.
The Sunday Times also reported that she had met the Singapore Tourism Board to discuss promoting Singapore “in terms of fashion sense”.
I think it is great that Ris Low has moved on from the beauty pageant saga and is getting involved in social work and being a tourism ambassador.
Without all these controversies, Ris Low will have been just another Miss World Singapore but she is using her bad publicity for a greater good. This makes her a perfect role model for troubled teens - everyone can turn over a new leaf, if they want to.
