Massive Attack band members barred from re-entering Singapore over support for political cause, unfurling of foreign flag at concert

Two members of the British band Massive Attack have been barred from re-entering Singapore and are facing a police investigation after unfurling a Palestinian flag during a concert on July 19. Singapore police issued a stern warning to the group members for displaying a foreign flag at the show without permission.

The action was taken due to violations of Singapore's strict regulations regarding political causes and public displays. Under the country's rules, the public display of foreign national emblems is not allowed without a specific permit or exemption.
