Miss Charity Maru, also known as Charity Lu Lu Seng, finally tasted victory on Wednesday night.
The 24-year-old freelance translator beat 13 other contestants to be crowned Miss World Singapore 2015 at the One Farrer Hotel & Spa.
But her joy was quickly tainted by criticism online that she is not the best person to represent Singapore at the international finals on Dec 19 in China.
Miss Maru is a relatively new citizen, getting her pink IC only in 2007.
