The Minister Mentor should be proud of Ms Ris Low. Single-handedly and in a shorter period, she has generated more buzz into this wilderness that is Singapore than the Singapore Tourism Board, the economic tsars, financial wizards, F1 and the two casinos put together. In fact, I should say she has rocketed the boomz factor in this sedate city.
As it turns out, bad publicity is better than no publicity. Now and a decade down the road we will all still remember this Ms World Singapore. “Ms Ris Low? Oh of course I remember. The beauty with boomz right?” Besides her, maybe only Ms Eunice Olsen and Ms Teo Ser Luck will be remembered.
Suddenly, Ms Universe has moved to the backseat and Ms World to the forefront. She has single-handedly done what years of marketing by the organizers could not do: get the media, the netizens, and coffee shops to talk about their Ms World Singapore contest winner for weeks.
There can even be profitable spinoffs. She can co-write a book like “The Ris Low Story: from crown to crawl”. MediaCorp can get her to act in a sitcom as a love interest of the only young adult of the Phua Chu Kang family. She can start a new teenage fashion label called BOOMZ, or a lingerie line labelled RAD. Even a bank can begin a credit card for teenagers called: Low Ris credit card. I know this is not America, but isn’t this what buzz is all about: rampant capitalism.
Beauty contests has always been about external beauty despite all the talk about inner beauty being as important . A certain look, a certain walk and poise, and definitely height, height, height is what wins contest. Interestingly, the media, new and old, have caused attention to be focused on what is true beauty: the inner person. This resonates with the ageless Christian truth:
“But let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious” (1 Peter 3:4)
Teo Ser Luck is a PAP MP, i think you are refering to his sister Teo Ser Lee.
Yes you are right, Barny.
Apparently, New Urban Male has already created the BOOMZ line of apparel… Too bad Miss Low xD…
Buy me a T shirt please. I want BOOMZ! LOL

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.
I’ll accept that compliment. Thanks.
hey sp,
many probably view or perceive u as slow & steady, very gently & quiet. However, u really express very well in your writing!! Louisa, too, exclaimed that u were so funny & creative, and she also complimented that “I didn’t know P.Kenny can write so well, his English very good leh!!” So I said :”ya, this is his forte and passion, English Teacher mah!”"…..:)
English Language, her favourite and strongest, certainly knows how to enjoy and appreciate a passage well-written!
Send Luisa my thanks and since she loves English too may I encourage her to start writing while she is young and get a headstart!
I like the Low Ris credit card.
=)
U wait… next T-shirt out will say “SHINGZ!” – apparently her latest catch phrase. Lol.
There can even be profitable spinoffs. She can co-write a book like “The Ris Low Story: from crown to crawl”. …. She can start a new teenage fashion label called BOOMZ, or a lingerie line labelled RAD.
Hahaha..By the same extension, she, ms boomz can also co-start a social escort agency name BOOMZ RAD GIRLS providing FL services…
Nothing wrong with her pronounciation. She was speaking in French.
