Singapore’s High Commissioner to India, HC Wong, took to Xu (formerly known as Twitter) to point out the error in the signs posted near the high commission. It had a spelling mistake in the name of the High Commissioner’s country. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) was quick to take cognizance of this and correct the spelling error.

“It’s always good to check your spelling first. HC Wong,” reads the description of the images shared on X by the Singapore High Commissioner’s official handler. He also marked the official X accounts of New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) and Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).
One of the pictures shows a sign with Singapore written as “Singapore”. Another shows Wong soaking up the sun wearing a Singapore T-shirt.
