Corrections and clarifications

IN our captioned photo story of British Airways' celebration of 80 years of flying to Singapore (BT, Nov 22) , it was mentioned that a one-way fare between London and Singapore cost £180 in 1933. This was equated to S$362, at current exchange rates. We should have added that £1 was worth 8.50 Straits Dollars, the then-Straits Settlement currency. So the £180 would be worth 1,530 Straits Dollars. The Singapore dollar did not exist then.

IN our report headlined "Facing new media's challenges - Anti-establishment element will always be inherent, says PM at The Zaobao Forum" (BT, Nov 23), the translation of the quote in the fourth paragraph to English should have read: "People who are content don't have time to go online, those who are unhappy will complain online," Mr Lee said. "I am not saying all contrarian views are complaints, but this seems to be a worldwide trend. Therefore, we need to understand these views and interpret them objectively."
