Flagging Discontent: Singapore's Tight Grip on Free Expression Singapore has once again demonstrated its strict laws governing public speech and assembly, this time targeting British trip hop band Massive Attack.
The group's performance was cut short after two members unfurled a Palestinian flag during their concert, sparking an investigation that resulted in stern warnings and a ban on re entry for the band.
The incident highlights Singapore's draconian laws prohibiting the open display of all foreign flags, national emblems, or banners without a permit.
