SINGAPORE: British trip-hop band Massive Attack has been barred from performing in Singapore after an investigation found two members unfurled a Palestinian flag during a concert, police said. Two band members who held the flag on stage during a concert this week were also banned from re-entering Singapore and issued with warnings, police said in a statement late Friday, without naming the pair. Singapore, known for its tough laws on public speech and assembly, bans the open display of all foreign flags, national emblems or banners without a permit.

Singapore does not allow the public display of foreign national emblems without a permit or exemption.
