Criminal Charges Filed Against Miss World 2013 Basher Devina Dediva

After her racist comments about Miss World 2013 Megan Young, the Singapore-based Devina Dediva might be in for more trouble as she is facing charges that could possibly put her behind bars with a fine up to 5,000 Singaporean dollars.

Anthony Benedicto, a Filipino residing in Singapore, filed a police case against the Miss World basher for the racially derogatory comments she posted on her Facebook account.

It will be recalled that Devina claimed she's a student of Manchester University, educated, compared to Filipinos whom she addressed as maids cleaning the toilet. However, the education institution in Indiana, USA was quick to deny her association to them.


Singapore, the small country in the ASEAN region, has a strict law that prohibits its citizens from ridiculing another race whether through acts, words and publications, including those coming from posted status or comments on Facebook, Twitter and the like.

"Under the Sedition Act, anyone found guilty of promoting feelings of ill-will and hostility between different races or class of the population of Singapore can be fined up to $5,000 or jailed up to three years, or both."


After confirming the case filed to Devina, Benedicto updated his status saying:

"One thing that i learned, there are many ways of handling a hate and racist comment from a racist person. One of them is to throw another racist comment to that person or his race, which will make you no less different than him/her. Another is to report the racist comments to your authorities and let them judge whether the person had committed an offence and pray that God will change the heart of this racist person and he/she learns from his/her mistakes. I prefer the latter which is effective, and less stressful. Avoid griping, make your point known, then move on," 

Infamous Devina Dediva who Bashed Megan Young and the Filipino People - Fired from her Job

The "karma" as what people say is now getting to the infamous Devina Dediva, the woman considered to be the most hated individual in the Philippines to date following her hateful comments to Miss World winner Megan Young and the to the entire Filipino populace.

It was reported that Devina was booted out as an assistant teacher at a school in Singapore run by Filipino supervisors days after questioning Miss Young's win, and calling Filipinos maids and uneducated people.

"Miss Philippines is Miss World? What a joke? I didn't know those maids have anything else in them. Hahaha," she said on her twitter account. 

It was also reported that Dediva, a Singapore-based Indian, was studying at Machester University in Indiana, USA. However, the university reacted and cleared things immediately saying they don't have a student named Devina Dediva and wouldn't tolerate such action (See their FB status on the right).

"In addition, Manchester University stands as a place of differences where the community engages in respectful dialogue cultivating individual beliefs and values. In our accepting community, the racist comments made by this individual would not be tolerated as respectful."
