The North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) encountered an awkward situation on Sunday when Singapore's High Commissioner to India, Simon Wong, pointed out that Singapore was misspelt as Singapur on the signage placed near the high commission. Wong, who came across the error during his morning walk, took to social media and urged the NDMC to conduct a 'spell check' before putting up such signage.
"It is always good to spell check first. HC Wong," the Singapore high commissioner wrote sharing pictures of the signage pointing to the High Commission of Singapore.
However, the error was fixed by the NDMC in a few hours. Wong also thanked the municipal corporation for the “quick fix.” Thank you for the quick fix. 🙏🙏HC Wong @tweetndmc @MCD_Delhi", Wong's post on X read.
