Ris Low's new boyfriend has something in common with her: they both have criminal records, said STOMPer rl. Her boyfriend is an ex-Mediacorp executive who was jailed three months for his involvement in a lucky draw scam.

Ris Low was crowned Miss Singapore World 2009 in September last year, but her title was quickly removed when a news report revealed that she had been convicted of credit card fraud.

She stole seven credit cards belonging to patients while working as a clinic assistant in 2008, and spent nearly $8,000 on the cards. Ris Low was sentenced in May 2009 to 24 months of supervised probation.

The 20-year-old first shot to infamy when she displayed her poor command of English in a RazorTV interview, mispronouncing words like red ('rad'), bikini ('bigini'), and prints ('preens').

STOMPer rl tells us:

"Her new boyfriend is apparently some ex-Mediacorp executive who was jailed three months for his part in a lucky draw scam.

“He says he doesn’t mind her reputation as a ‘scandal queen’, because he does not have the right to judge her considering his own tainted past.

“When asked about his criminal record during his interview, the boyfriend was calm, and said that he deserved his time behind bars. He says he was muddle-headed and had allowed greed to get the better of him.

“He says ‘his time in jail was neither long nor short, but was the lowest point in his life.’

“However, his time behind bars gave him the chance to see the error of his ways and repent.

“He swears he will never commit a crime again. He now believes that it is better to work hard than to take shortcuts in life.”
