You may or may not have heard of a company called MindChamps.

It was founded by a man called David Chiem, a rags-to-riches Australian citizen who fled there with his family from Vietnam as a child, and now has roughly 30 preschools and "reading and writing centres" in Singapore, as well as a presence in Australia and the Philippines.

All that's well and good, but let's keep this fact in mind before you continue reading:

Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) has a 22 per cent stake in the company, which it forked out S$12 million to buy in 2014:

On October 20, SPH publication The New Paper, which is headed for a merger with the soon-to-be-closed-down MyPaper, reported a story about a MindChamps centre closing down quite suddenly at OneKM shopping mall in Paya Lebar.

This was its headline:

Two or three days later, the same link to the story led to a completely different article, with perhaps only the picture at the top being the same:

And it isn't just the headline that's different, trust us. (Thankfully, the Internet remembers)

For your convenience, we did a side-by-side comparison of the two versions of the same article, highlighting in red the information that went missing in the second article, and in green the portions that are the same:

Oh, they also added this circled line at the bottom of the "updated" article.

It's funny though, because we also noticed the following paragraph in the story, which we highlighted in the table above in yellow:

So let's get this straight.

This Oct 20 story by The New Paper refers to an Oct 20 story by The New Paper, which is published on the same webpage with the same URL, but with a different headline, but which can no longer be read or accessed, because it's been replaced by this Oct 20 story?

Ahhh, okay.
