Guilty of credit card fraud

By DAWN TAY

RECENTLY crowned Miss Singapore World Ris Low, 19, had earlier been found guilty of credit-card fraud.

The beauty queen was convicted of five charges of misappropriation, cheating using illegally obtained credit cards, and impersonating their users' identities.


The first-time offender was sentenced in May this year to 24 months of supervised probation, said a Subordinate Courts spokesman in response to a query from my paper.

Another 60 charges were taken into consideration for the purposes of sentencing, he said.

Court documents show that Miss Low spent a total of more than $2,400 on at least four separate occasions, using at least three different credit cards in April and May last year.

my paper understands that her previous employer, a health-care company, made a police report about her in April last year.

It suspected that Miss Low, who worked there for five months as a patient-service assistant, had used credit cards belonging to its patients. It asked her to leave the following month.

Before leaving, she was said to have returned a part - an unspecified sum - of the total amount she had spent using the cards.

When contacted, Miss Low, now a student, said that she was "not in a position to comment".

The international Miss World pageant will be held in Johannesburg, South Africa, in December. It is unclear whether Miss Low will be allowed to leave the country to take part in it.

Give her a 2nd chance lah.

If she is still of the same mould when she commited the crime, you can be sure, she will be in trouble sooner than later again.

Which clinic did she work for ? I get my Leeporters to go do some investigative work.

A typical Sinkie woman behaviour where most are materialistic animal. I'm sure she would have falsefully declared her criminal record before the contest. Good thing that TNP found out before she actually represent the country.

When you are student, usually get probation for theft. This is pretty bad, stealing from clients and 60 charges.

I think she is already getting a 2nd chance lah. If she wasn't royalty, isn't she a queen :smile: , she would have gotten a jail sentence.


Spore still needs someone to go to Johanesburge to represent the flag. As for being morally questionable, I don't see any problem as she typifies the moral standards that exist in Spore. Just have to look at how the familee & their cronies behave :rolleyes:

Her charges are actually VERY serious but considering her age and that she was a first offender, the DPP didn't want to press on with the mandatory jail sentence or appeal against the DJ judgement.

I am pretty sure, they will withdraw her. Really thick skin, taking part in her situation.
