Who Proof Reads The Straits Times?

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

Ridz shared a news article via Plurk (yes, that’s how we get our news), talking about the aftermath of the cleaner who got killed by the white tigers in a tragic accident at the Singapore Zoo.

Somewhere in the article, is this paragraph:

Tool And Nail

Tool And Nail

So my question is: who proof reads this stuff? As it is most people aren’t reading the newspapers anyway, should we have to suffer painful recording in the digital version as well? And just who wrote the article anyway? I see absolutely no mention of the author which almost makes me feel it was assigned to an intern or something.
