SPH Media shockingly revealed that an internal review found that staff had inflated circulation numbers of their publications during a period from 2020 to 2022. Why is this revelation a big deal, even for those of us who don’t read The Straits Times anymore? Elsewhere, pizzeria Chooby Pizza posted a nasty exchange with an unreasonable customer on their social media channels. The customer subsequently accused them of racism in their response to him, so who’s really in the wrong here?
