I'm not gonna poke fun of her command of English, because my own
proficiency in it has been going downhill since my A Levels.....
but I would recommend that she attend classes in diction and public
speaking at the British Council.
As for her crimes, really, it looks as though she's trying to
downplay the severity of her crimes. She doesn't seem to get the
point that:
1. 65 charges of theft, fraud and impersonation over two months
are not 'a moment of folly'.
2. Yes, we all make mistakes, but few of us commit offences
chargeable in court, let alone crimes of that magnitude.
3. She should have declared her conviction at the point of
registration and not only after winning the competition.
For goodness' sake, beauty queens in the US have been stripped
of their titles for less than this. She should just take the
honourable way out and quit.
in the interview in sunday's papers she seemed to be trying to
shift the blame for her offences to her bi-polar disorder. the
judge must have believed her, given the ridiculously light sentence
she received.
initially my main problem with her being miss singapore was
that her looks cmi. after all, it is a beauty peageant.
but then I saw clips of the competition on youtube and let's
just say its no wonder she made a clean sweep of the competition
