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.
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.
The post featured a picture of signage and Mr Wong. The caption read, "It is always good to spell check first. HC Wong."

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.''
Here's the new sign board:
