The pedant in me: Where are the figures?
Where are figures 1 and 2? I thought that when one puts "figure 1" it means that there exists a figure labelled 1? Or are we to infer that the figures are implicitly labelled? I am more inclined to believe that this is the result of copypasta without checking what one typed/pasted, and the editor not catching this error.

The pedant in me: RM60,000 == SG81,000?!
Such a glaring mistake, simply unacceptable coming from the national broadsheet. Since the source is Malaysian, I suppose it's the news people in Straits Times who added the currency conversion thing.
