Singaporean beauty queen forced to resign following lingerie shopping scam
A beauty queen from Singapore was forced to relinquish her crown after reports surfaced that she had stolen credit cards in the past to go on a shopping spree, most specifically buying lingerie for herself.
Miss World Singapore 2009 Ris Low became a subject of public scrutiny after claims came out that she had stolen seven credit cards the past year while she was still working at a medical institution. During her work in the establishment, she’s been receiving credit card information from the client and using those data to her advantage during her shopping sprees.
The beauty queen has reportedly shopped lingerie amounting to a total of $6,400.
ERM World Marketing, the organizers of the local pageant, stated that Low decided to resign voluntarily. As a result, she will no longer represent the country in the Miss World beauty pageant which will take place in South Africa in December. The replacement is still being deliberated.
