Remember her?!
hint : BOOMZ/SHINGZyes, how can we not know the very famous, or rather infamous person in Singapore, Miss Ris Low.
Recently the local media really focused their attention onto this icon who was to be representing Singapore under the title of "Miss Singapore World". That was soon withdrawl under circumstances that found Miss Ris Low guilty of credit card fraud. At the same time her language use and pronunciation for english words were also under the scrutiny of the public because they felt that with her standard of english, it would not be appropriate for her to be an ambassador of Singapore.
After all the drama, Miss Ris Low was given a chance and placed under probation for her crimes, at the same time she told the public that she was suffering from a bipolar disorder hence that made her commit the crime.
How much of this is actually true?
Take a look at this video. This was the video that got everyone talking about her.
As you can see, her english was pretty bad in this video, creating new lingos that everyone just had to follow. Things like "Boomz" and "Preenz"
Despite these videos and news reports on how bad Miss Ris Low is, is she really as bad as how they portray her to be? Maybe they have taken out the other interlectual parts and only placed in the ugly side of her just to please the target market and attain maximum viewship. Perhaps there is just the other side of her that we all don't know of.
Suddenly everyone just harps on her negative side rather than a balance view on her, and even celebrities start to make spoofs out of her.
Just like this one! (Which I truely like) It was an promotional video for the upcoming comedy Phua Chu Kang.
As you can see, they just had to make fun of Miss Ris Low and adopted her speech.
Everyone now has their opinion of Miss Ris Low tainted, with thanks to the media, but have we all gotten the wrong idea?
One thing's for sure, I still do not see her in any positive light, and that Miss Ris Low seems to be enjoying herself with such media attention, hence appearing on more shows just to add on to the drama.
just like this one!
Good job on her part, just don't come crying when things get out of hand!
