Mr Wong posted picture of signage on X<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) on Sunday found itself in a bit of a soup after Singapore’s High Commissioner to India, Simon Wong, highlighted a significant spelling error in the name of his country on a signboard installed near the high commission.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mr Wong, who discovered the gaffe while on his morning walk, took to X and asked the MCD to do a ‘spell check’ before installing the signage.<\/p>\n

The post featured a picture of signage and Mr Wong. The caption read, “It is always good to spell check first. HC Wong.”<\/p>\n

After the image went viral, the authorities wasted no time in rectifying the error. Mr Wong shared a picture of the rectified sign board and thanked the authorities for the ”quick fix.”<\/p>\n

Here’s the new sign board:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier, High Commissioner of Singapore in India Simon Wong danced with folk artists at a G20 meeting in West Bengal’s Darjeeling.<\/p>\n

“A wonderful evening at the G20 Tourism Working Group meeting. Moonlight tea picking was the highlight. HC Wong,” Singapore in India tweeted on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Mr Wong also congratulated the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for launching the PSLV-C56.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He noted that the rocket has placed seven satellites developed by the Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA), ST Engineering, Singapore’s universities and private industry into orbit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
