Racy photos of Miss Singapore Universe Rachael Kum circulating on the Internet have sparked criticism from netizens, who feel that she is not fit to hold the title.
Rachael, a manager in the medical industry and a graduate in pedagogy, will represent Singapore at the Miss Universe 2009, which will be held at the Atlantis Paradise Island in Nassau, Bahamas, on August 23 2009.
The photos include one which shows the 25-year-old in a suggestive pose with a sex doll and another one showing her eating a cake in the shape of the male genitals.
There was no timestamp on the photos or on the blog in which her photos were found, so it is unclear whether the photos were taken before or after she was crowned Miss Singapore Universe.
The photos have caused an uproar among netizens, mostly Singaporeans, who feel that Rachael should not have won because of her "questionable integrity", calling for her titled to be removed.
One netizen wrote:
"Rachel Kum's racy pictures are indeed a reflection of what this girl entails.
"Sexy can come in various forms. Sexy with class or sexy that comes along as slutty.
"Obviously, she falls into the category of trying hard to be sexy but fell deep into the slutty category in the midst of getting all the attentions in her pictures.
"Putting her in the S-factor show would be a better choice for her than Miss Singapore Universe."

i realised tt sgreans like to use the word slutty.
ish stomper like to use de word~
cant help it. her name is rachel KUM.
Ohh like that....
Mmm....ya...
I think she should be persuaded to resign, and let the 2nd place take over....
Because a Miss, at the least, should have some stature.....
Although it may be said as unfair....but it's better to have another person.....
Looks like she likes dick alot.
Seriously la, you see all the kind of contestants they have in Miss SG pageants, whether this Rachel step down or not also not much diff......
I think this compeititon (at least locally) has lost its allure.
Last time, it used to be prestigious and a springboard to better things.
These days, haiz.
wasnt even shown on tv anymore...

I hate to say it but the Q&A segment always made me cringe.
The standard of spoken english can be quite bad at times for the majority of the contestants even if most of the contestants are uni students or grads.
the quality of the answers as well...

You are lucky the local version doesn't have "World Peace" as their answer to every question.
in the first place, she probably got into the competition and consequently, first place by sexual favours
Who are these STOMPers to judge Rachel? Can they claim to have never done similarly naughty things on their birthdays or hen nights (which would make them prudes)? Were these photos even published publicly in her blog or were they fished out of Facebook with the intention to smear her? Contestants in other countries have had bigger skeletons dug out before they were told to step down.
All public figures will inevitably be criticised and ruthlessly attacked.
That is how the world works.
I wasn't aware that people still cared about the title.
My dua sen....
Yes, they're suggestive and distasteful, and if I ever have a daughter, I wouldn't want her to post them online....
But in the end, they're just that - suggestive pictures. We are not talking about sex tapes or Playboy centerfolds. She broke no laws, and the only apology she owes is only to her parents for the embarassment brought about by these no-life flamers.
i think the idea of having a miss universe contest in the first place is a disgrace.

Not so bad ba, me thinks it's just a waste of time + resources. Whoever came up with this concept must've had his hormones raging...
If they want publicity for better job prospects, TV/model agency not bad idea ba... =\

Thou art right. This applies for those with their opinions made public, though they may not have 'highly significant positions in society', too.
total slut
i see it as more of an insult to women, being parade around in bikinis.
great eye candy, but they are definitely not wad i would consider as wife material.
Ms Universe what... not Ms Nun what.... she cannot like cock meh?
