Half you fuckers commenting on the video,
watch your own English before you criticize hers.
You guys are the disgrace.
At least she made the effort.
And Singapore doesn't need people like you who abandon them at every little fickle thing.
We have much more talented and better looking foreigners trying their best to be PR,
or to get official citizenship.
If you leave Singapore officially,
what makes you think any other country will take you in?

Just had to note one,
do you think you're very 'interlectual'?
Also, yeah, people will have the bad impression that we're 'ineducated' Chinese.
Don't make me laugh.

Ris Low isn't right here,
but neither is she wrong,
speaking the English that she learnt from school,
and the English that most people on the streets use.
If everyone had perfect English in Singapore,
I doubt Ris Low would be speaking as she does.
Unless she's seriously mentally retarded,
which seems highly unlikely because she's in polytechnic, assumingly.

All the people bashing Ris Low are merely boosting their own egos.
You guys want to believe you're not like her at all.
You guys want to believe that you won't be a laughing stock in public.
You guys also want to believe that you're superior to someone like her.
You guys want to believe you are worthy of the Miss Singapore World title,
or something of the relevant importance and significance.
Either way, I feel disappointed that everyone is against Ris Low for this matter,
and no one stretched a hand out to offer to help her,
not in merely lip service,
but to help her correct her English and allow her to improve.
How is Ris Low going to get any better with merely the criticism?
I doubt telling her that her English is poor will help her suddenly speak accurate standard English.

I admit that I don't speak perfect standard English either.
I am also not defending Ris Low for her poor English,
which was almost painful to listen to.
However, I am merely stating my opinion on this matter.
