Intense Scandal Besets Newsagent


SINGAPORE: Auditors have revealed that they will be opening an in-depth investigation into accounts belonging to Konikinuya, a multinational bookstore and newsagent conglomerate. This development comes shortly after the company published their annual report on their books and publications sales for the fiscal year 2014.

D. V. Melvil, head of the investigating team, claims that the company is hiding something from the public in their latest report. When enquired as to what exactly his team is searching for, Mr. Melvil noted that, “there are certain anomalies in the sales figures”, and pledged to leave “no stone unturned and no point uncalled” in his probe. However, Mr Melvil refused to speculate on the nature of what the company is trying to conceal. The chairman of the company could not be reached for comments as of press time.

Members of the public are to contact Mr Melvil if they have any information relating to the investigation.   


Cache notes:

Terrain on the route leading to the cache can be challenging, especially during wet weather, and thus, please exercise caution. The GZ may have mosquitos, so come prepared with repellent.
