In a multicultural society like Singapore, it’s not unheard of to have different accents, which in turn, affects one’s pronunciation.
But what happens when your accent costs you $10,000? Well, Facebook user Muhammad Shalehan called out local radio station Gold 905 for passing him over as the winner of their competition Celebrity Name Drop earlier this month.
Gold 905 declared that he had mispronounced the last name of British singer Tony Hadley because he said “Head-ley” while the winner pronounced it as “Had-ley”.
