Sorry, I was ambiguous -- I meant that the change I just made won't fix
the previously-posted initial automated post to the group which contains

That will always say "Singapura."

Singapura.
On the other hand, going in and editing the old news article by hand to
make the correction retroactively would be extremely easy -- but I choose
not to use this capability.
