Withdrawing countries and territories
Cayman Islands - The Cayman Islands will not send a representative this year due to lack of funding and sponsorship for the national pageant.[174]
St. Kitts & Nevis - Venetta Zakers, the winner of the 2009 Miss World St. Kitts-Nevis pageant, will not compete in Miss World 2009 due to communication problems between her and the national pageant organization. However, the pageant will be held again in 2010 to select the representative for Miss World 2010.[175]
Replacements
Germany - Alessandra Alores was disqualified due to several explicit pictures of her on the Internet. Stefanie Peeck will replace her to participate in Miss World 2009.[176][177][178]
Russia - Sofia Rudieva was allowed to compete in Miss Universe 2009 by the Miss Universe Organization, but the Miss World Organization did not accept her as a contestant due several explicit pictures of her on the Internet. Ksenia Shipilova will replace her to participate in Miss World 2009.[179]
Singapore - The original winner Ris Low has decided to back out of the finals at Miss World 2009. Her decision comes after a slew of negative media reports, where she incurred the ire of the public for her poor English.[180] Later, news of her conviction for credit card fraud in May also surfaced, after she stole credit cards worth $6000.[181] She was sentenced to two years' probation for credit card fraud. There was a national petition for her to step down. Then, Ris Low was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.[182] The first runner-up Claire Lee, has declined to represent Singapore due to a back injury which prevents her from standing for long periods of time, and also as Ris Low has accused her of backstabbing her,[183] and she withdraws from the pageant immediately. Claire Lee has also rebutted Ris Low's allegations on her blog.[184] On October 9, ERM World Marketing announced Pilar Carmelita Arlando as the new Miss Singapore World 2009, who will represent Singapore at this year Miss World contest. Before that, she was the officially second runner-up of Miss Singapore World 2009.[185][186] However, Pilar was criticised by many netizens for not knowing who's the first president of Singapore, oblivion of Singapore independence age, and claiming that the Merlion, a symbol of Singapore, extinct in 1965, unaware that the Merlion is a fictitious animal.[187][188]
