MISSING MAGAZINES IN SINGAPORE?

I've been following a story on the excellent Australian News Agency blog regarding the supply of Royal Wedding magazine. To summarise, some newsagents were unable to order additional copies whereas supermarkets were, in some cases, given an automatic 45 per cent increase.

Significant numbers of one Australian magazine - a special souvenir edition of Woman's Day - have appeared in Singapore. At one store I counted more than 40 on sale in two different positions alongside copies of other Royal Wedding magazines from around the world.

I cannot imagine there will be too many more sales of magazine likes this now we're close to two weeks after the big day - and especially with imported magazine being two or three times the cost of locally produced ones.

Perhaps the missing copies that newsagents in Australia so desperately wanted were diverted overseas?
