Thoughts that linger in the mind of a Singaporean teen.

Former Miss Singapore World, Ris Low has been in the spot light of infamy for quite awhile now. This has really got to stop...

There are some things we can laugh at, and there are some we can't. Laughing at someone who has not only lost her crown, but all her dignity, reputation and rights as a human being, is definitely not okay. It's inhumane, childish and sadistic at this rate.. If you really have to laugh at the video, go ahead, but mocking her, JUDGING her and embarrassing her over and over again is too much. You can't simply judge someone based on one video interview. How is she going to face the public now? Is she going to step out of her house, and have everyone point fingers at her and laugh?

If you think she's an embarrassment to our Singapore on the world stage, then look how much of a mess all of you have made of this matter. Foreigners will not only think of how childish Singaporeans are, but they will be afraid of standing out here in Singapore, fearing the criticism they might earn. I'm sure foreigners won't be the only ones scared, so how will this help Singaporean girls step up to participate in future beauty pageants?

The media is another big player in this saga. If you find this issue a good medium to get people to read your newspapers and watch your news, then i feel it's just mean.

Everyone should stop and let this matter rest and give Ris a break...
