Ris Low makes a comeback

Never one to shy away from the spotlight, 25-year-old fallen beauty queen Ris Low has vowed to make a comeback in the Miss World Singapore pageant this year.
“I’m serious! I’m going to join the Miss World Singapore pageant again!” she told The New Paper.
Despite being dethroned as Miss World Singapore in 2009, the excited Miss Low still has her eye on the coveted crown.
Her decision to join the pageant once more comes amid changes being made to the Miss World Singapore pageant, such as a bigger cash prize.
In a bid to improve the overall standard of the pageant in Singapore, Miss World Limited has dropped ERM World Marketing as their local pageant organiser.
Mr Raymund Ooi, 46, the owner of new licensee Limelite Productions, is willing to put up an attractive cash prize for the pageant’s winner so as to attract a higher calibre of contestants.
“In Malaysia, they have offered RM100,000 (S$40,000) cash prize for the winner, so I’m hoping to match that,” he said. “I think S$40,000 plus the trip to the Miss World finals, which can cost up to S$15,000, is quite attractive.”
Said Miss Low,”In comparison, the prize for the pageant that I joined was the S$2,000 trip to South Africa for the Miss World finals. There was no cash prize.”
She claims that ERM World Marketing did not provide enough support in terms of things like sponsored gowns worn by the contestants. The ex-licensee could have found better sponsors and cited how contestants from other countries were dressed in designer gowns for the pageant, she added.
“I’m joining the pageant again because I feel that if I had been given the chance to represent Singapore (instead of being dethroned), I could have shone,” she said.
She admitted that she would have done better if she had been put through classes to teach her to walk, dress and “basically how to work the whole package”.
“Now, if I can get lessons on how to be a top beauty queen, then I definitely want to show the public that I can do this based on my own merit,” she added.
But the “bigini”-loving Ris may not have an easy time at this year’s pageant if Mr Ooi has anything to say about it.
To avoid another Ris Low debacle, the organiser has vowed to conduct more stringent checks on the finalists of the Miss World Singapore pageant this year. On top of that, he will also engage a credible panel of judges to pick excellent pageant contestants.
