SINGAPORE — 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, adding that the organisation could not 'possibly continue reporting numbers that would be questioned'.

Mr Wong, who took over the helm of its English/Malay/Tamil Media group last October, made these comments in an internal memo seen by TODAY and verified by three staff on Tuesday, a day afterHe said he deliberated whether to write the note given the many constraints but thought he should do so as"we may need this".
Mr Wong said the audit review of its circulation numbers, following its split from mainboard-listed company Singapore Press Holdings, started “based on certain observations” and the review period reached back to before the split. Acknowledging that many existing and former staff may feel saddened by the news of the inflated circulation numbers, Mr 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.
The former chairman of Accenture Singapore, who took over the helm on March 1, 2022, said that the organisation will continue to review its protocols “as we hold ourselves accountable to our stakeholders”.
