Singapore's Flagging Freedom of Expression The decision to ban British trip hop band Massive Attack from performing in Singapore after they displayed a Palestinian flag onstage and led a "Free Palestine" chant has sparked outrage among fans and free speech advocates.
The incident highlights the increasingly restrictive atmosphere in Singapore, where expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people can be seen as a threat to public order.
The development comes against a backdrop of a broader crackdown on dissenting voices in Singapore.
