SINGAPORE, Jan 10 — SPH Media took a “painful but necessary” decision to make public that its past circulation figures were inaccurate, said editor-in-chief Wong Wei Kong,...

rebased our figures. All this was painful, but necessary to put right what was once unknown, but now known,” he wrote.

Acknowledging that many existing and former staff may feel saddened by the news of the inflated circulation numbers, Wong said: “For those of us, the old SPHers who have walked through the ups and downs, and knew and worked with those affected, this is hard to take. Teo Lay Lim, SPH Media’s chief executive officer, yesterday also sent out an internal memo to staff to address the matter.

There was also little chatter about it, especially since it did not come as a shock to some, who have heard it through the grapevine some weeks ago.
