Hello, I saw a news headline as follows:

"More than 1,000 Singaporeans' travel to Japan affected by tsunami"

Is this gramatically correct? Thank you.

Incognitowalker,

I most respectfully suggest that the headline is correct. I think that it

is short for something like:

More than 1,000 Singaporeans' travel [plans have been] affected

by [the] tsunami.

(That is, the tsunami has affected the travel plans of more than 1,000

Singaporeans.)

I most respectfully suggest that the headline is correct.

I agree, though it's ugly - even for a headline.

thanks for your replies.
