More changing headlines: Inflation hits poor harder

The first two changes were spotted by an eagle-eyed Sammyboy forumer, on the Straits Times site:

At 1.05pm, it reads "Inflation hits poor harder".

Inflation_hits1


At 2.04pm, it reads "July inflation up 6.5%".

The blurb says, "For the first half of the year, it was up 7.1% for Singapore households, with poor families harder hit."

Inflation_hits2


I went to look at the current headline, and it reads "July inflation slows".

The blurb now says, "It rose 6.5%. For the first half of the year, it was up 7.1% for Singapore households, with poor families harder hit."

Maybe the headline too long for the revamped ST font, so must change.
