Singapore probes Massive Attack over Palestinian flag display

Singapore police have initiated an investigation into the British band Massive Attack following allegations that they violated local regulations by displaying a Palestinian flag during their performance. The incident occurred at the end of the concert, where two band members held the flag while audience members chanted 'Free Palestine.' Singapore law prohibits the public display of foreign national emblems without proper authorization, carrying penalties including fines and imprisonment. The concert promoter, Lushington, stated they are cooperating with authorities and noted this was the band's only scheduled show in Singapore during their current tour. Reports of the incident were based on videos shared online.
