Rachel Kum, 25, is 2009 Miss Singapore Universe. Rachel Kum, pictured here, recently was hit by a controversy like what some American beauty queens encountered in the past after some of their suggestive photos surfaced online. The Rachel Kim “indecent” pictures were said to be posted on Rachel Kum’s personal blog RachelKum.Blogspot.com which now is set as an invited-only mode.

Now some in the traditional conservative Asian country are calling for the recently crowned Miss Singapore to be stripped of her title following spread of the suggestive photos. These pictures are now weapons against her undoubtedly by her fellow beauty queen competitors. The person with the most to benefit if she is stripped her is the First Runner-Up so could she be pushing this scandal? Some people on blogs and forums are expressing disappointment, they say that Rachael should not have won because of her questionable morals. Rachel Kum is now lashing back on her detractors calling them “insanely jealous.”

Rachel Kum has survived the public reprimand because she won’t be dethroned her title by the beauty pageant organizer.

According to a spokesman, after they contacted Rachel Kum, currently on a overseas trip, for details about the controverisal photos, they believed the images shouldn’t affect her status. Because those pictures were taken before she won the title of Miss Singapore Universe in May, and furthermore, they were photographed at private occasions like friends’ Halloween party and her own birthday party.

Rachel Kum, a graduate of University of Western Australia, is a manager in the medical industry. She stands 170cm tall.

Rachel will represent Singapore at Miss Universe 2009, which will be held at the Atlantis Paradise Island in Nassau, Bahamas on August 23.
