  SINGAPORE: The Miss Singapore World pageant has a new winner. 20—year—old Pilar Arlando will be going to South Africa on December 12 for a shot at the Miss World title.

  The Travel, Tourism and Hospitality student at Management Development Institute of Singapore (MDIS) was selected as Miss Singapore World after the previous winner Ris Low gave up her crown amid a firestorm of controversy.

  Pilar was third in the contest.

  She said: "I’m sure that they saw my capabilities as a main title—holder, so I believe I don’t see myself as a replacement. I know the bad press was centred on Ris Low about her English but it does not affect me because I’m confident in the words that I say and how I speak."

  In a statement, organisers ERM World said Claire Lee, who came in second, was not chosen because of her back injury which meant she could not stand for long hours.

  And contest rules do not require them to select the first runner—up as a replacement.

  The new beauty queen said she’s just a regular girl.

  She said: "I do not have any convictions or criminal records I enjoy travelling, baking and participating in various sports activities. I’m a good girl." — CNA/vm

  Even if she wins or not, that is not the point here. The point is that we all should be thankful we don't have Ris Low to represent Singapore in the contest. Can you imagine how much we'd be laughed at by foreigners because of her standard of English?

  Pilar and Arlando are both names of Spanish origin, and many Filipinas do have Spanish-sounding names since it was once a Spanish colony (think of CNA news anchor Jennifer Alejandro).

  She looks as though she might have Indian blood, but that's just me.

  Imho, our 2nd runner-up is better looking and speaks better English than our 1st runner-up and Ris Low.

  I think people who have mixed blood stand a better chance in internation pageants since it is easier for people from all nationalities to appreciate their beauty.

  So maybe the replacement will do the job better on an international scale.
