Calls to strip Miss Singapore of title after suggestive photos appear on the Net
THERE have been calls for Miss Singapore, Rachel Kum, to be stripped of her title following suggestive photographs of her emerging over the Internet.
One of the pictures showed her simulating oral sex with a birthday cake shaped like an erect penis.
Another photograph showed the beauty queen with her pants pulled down in a sexy pose with a rubber doll in the form of a scantily clad female.
In another photograph, she was seen in a skimpy top and hot pants with a friend wearing an outfit shaped like a penis.
These pictures appeared to be taken during private parties with her friends, Nanyang Siang Pau reported.
Kum, 25, was crowned Miss Singapore in May. She also walked away with two subsidiary titles –The Most Body Beautiful and Miss Personality.
She will be representing Singapore at the Miss Universe pageant in the Bahamas next month.
The photographs have attracted more than 20,000 views since they were uploaded on the Internet.
> The daily also reported that SJK (C) Ladang Harcroft, which was relocated to Puchong in Selangor, planned to implement the digital school concept next year.
Its board of directors chairman Dr Kow Cheong Wei said 27 of the classrooms would be installed with computers, LCD projectors and other multimedia facilities.
When the concept was implemented, he said parents would also be able to check their children’s progress.
“Currently, we are organising a series of campaigns to raise RM600,000 for the school.
“Half of the money will be for realising the digital school concept while the rest will be used to enhance security, upgrade facilities and infrastructure of the school,’’ he said.
The school, which was opened last year, has 1,147 students.
