SINGAPORE: Former Miss Singapore World Ris Low was back in court on Tuesday and ordered by a district judge not to go into a shopping mall unaccompanied by a family member.
In a review of her 24-month supervised probation, District Judge May Mesenas also reminded Ms Low to take her probation seriously.
It was revealed on Tuesday that Ms Low had to re-take her examinations at the Management Development Institute of Singapore after invigilators found revision notes in her pencil box in August.
Ms Low claimed that she had forgotten to remove them.
Her lawyer, Mr Sng Kheng Huat, assured the court that his client remained committed to serving her probation, and would undertake not to repeat the mistake.
The District Judge also told Ms Low, who stayed silent during the 10-minute hearing, to continue with her medical treatment and medication. The 19-year-old suffers from bipolar disorder.
On May 5, two months before she won the pageant, she pleaded guilty to five cheating and criminal misappropriation charges, with 60 other charges being taken into consideration.
Over two months last year, she had spent almost S$8,000 on items such as gold anklets, mobile phones, lingerie and meals in luxury restaurants using seven credit cards that did not belong to her.
Ms Low, who gave up her crown last month after the scandal over her conviction made the headlines, will appear at another probation review in three months' time.
