Summary created with AI assistance · Source: independent.co.uk
- Massive Attack performed at Singapore’s Star Theatre on 29 July, where two members displayed a Palestinian flag and called for freedom for Palestine.
- Displaying foreign flags and national emblems without permission is illegal in Singapore.
- Singapore’s police said on 31 July that the two members received stern warnings and would be barred from re-entering the country.
- The media regulator IMDA said it would reject future applications for the band to perform in Singapore because of the entry ban, while police and IMDA cited social cohesion and racial and religious harmony.
The peace and harmony between different races and religions in Singapore should not be taken for granted, and we must not let external events affect our society.— Joint statement by the Singapore Police and the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) following the flag incident at Massive Attack's Singapore concert
