Singaporean radio station Gold 905 has walked back on its initial decision to deny a man the SG$10,000 (RM30,724) prize for a radio quiz after he was deemed to have mispronounced the name of English singer-songwriter Tony Hadley.

Muhammad Shalehan, 32, had enlisted the help of Hadley himself, after he missed out on the prize, to prove to the station that he had pronounced the name of the 59-year-old singer correctly.
