Singapore's central bank rebuked the stock exchange on Wednesday after its second glitch in less than a month resulted in a trading delay, saying the lapse was "unacceptable".

SGX delayed trading in its securities market by more than three hours Wednesday to give brokerage firms time to correct errors for clients caused by a "software defect" on Monday.

SGX said the problem had since been rectified, adding that it was caused by programming changes performed over the weekend.

It’s officially happened. Singapore’s answer to popular social media and satire website 9GAG, SGAG, has just launched their new website.
