Asked by District May Mesenas if Ms Low understood the seriousness of that matter and undertook not to repeat the mistake, Mr Sng Kheng Huat, her lawyer, assured the court that she was prepared to give an undertaking and would comply with the conditions in the probation order.
The probation officer who was in court said Ms Low needed to be reminded of the seriousness of non-compliance.
Judge Mesenas, who also imposed extra conditions on her probation, which include no shopping on her own, turned to Ms Low and asked if she had anything to say. The ex-beauty queen shook her head.
Her parents were in court with her.
