Massive Attack, you’re da GOAT
Every single band should show solidarity to Palestine (maybe not when physically in Singapore) the same way and see how they like it when the only artist playing concerts in Singapore is Boy George.
I think they should do it especially in Singapore. When the government bans majority of the acts, it’ll definitely create some turmoil among the citizens.
Yes, but I don’t think that they would be as light on the prison time with the next artist to do it. Especially if it looked like the start of a trend. To do it in Asia, but not specifically in Singapore might get enough attention for them to be banned from playing there, and draw some ire from the citizens.
That’d safer honestly, Doing it in other ASEAN countries, especially in Malaysia and Indonesia, would get a reaction from the Ziongapore govt.
kid rock would also go, i’m sure
Thom Yorke too
Wow, that redditor on r/singaporeraw actually got them banned?
Nah they chewed gum on the walk back from the concert
Chewing gum? That’s 2000 dollarydoos and 20 whippings on your naughty little butt until it bleeds. We are a serious country.
The joint statement by the police and IMDA [Infocomm Media Development Authority] said:
“The police take a serious view of acts which could potentially harm the racial and religious harmony in Singapore and urge the public, including foreigners, to refrain from importing foreign politics as this can undermine our social cohesion and the rule of law. 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.”
I edited it a bit.
So it’s “lalalalala we don’t want to know what’s going on in the world, let us have our shipping and financial monopoly and our police state with a South East Asian underclass in peace lalalala” in so many words.
I wonder if they ban people who advocate for investment in Israel or the US tech sector, you know, for bringing foreign politics into Singapore.
Wtf is this place? Ba Sing Se?
I mean they’ve banned selling chewing gum there so
they are so awesome holy shit
