I feel that the treatment given to Ms Ris Low is really unfair
and unjust....
It's time to show that society can be forgiving and caring,
availing second chances, egalitarian....
Ms Ris Low story can be inspirational....
Yet what happened is that there is cheap sensationalism and
tabloidism, personal attacks, charicature, character assassination,
and culminating with the organizers forcibly making her to
"resign."
Lets turn the tide around and show people's good side....
Reinstall Ris Low for Miss World Singapore 2009!!!!!!!
Support..!!!!
In what way was it unfair and unjust?
It was simply going by the books, and the boundaries set by the
rules have been made clear. Her "resignation" was pretty much
expected, when she overstepped those boundaries. Her performance in
that video was another matter altogether, though it can be said
that it is an aggravating factor.
The end result of her "resignation" was OK, but the way that it
was carried out was utter rubbish. I agree that all the
sensationalization and personal attacks aimed at belittling her was
below the belt.
Being gracious means being forgiving..yes..but reinstating her
seems to be quite a far shot, don't you think?
Allow me to give this example:
A criminal(any type of crime)has a record due to his offence,
which he needs to declare to his superior at some point in time.
Being forgiving as a society means embracing him as one of your
kind, and accepting him as an imperfect but unique individual. It
does not mean erasing the records to give him a "second
chance".
I strongly believe that a person who commits a crime deserves
the punishment, be it caning or imprisonment. What he/she does not
deserve is the "life imprisonment" given by members of the
public.
Peace.
