Singapore Ministry of Censorship Bans Choir

The notorious Media Development Authority (MDA) has banned a choir that planned to publicly sing a list of complaints about life in Singapore.

The “complaints choir” was going to perform at a weekend festival but the MDA said that foreigners could not participate.

Singapore’s Media Development Authority said the license was conditional because the lyrics touched on “domestic affairs” and it preferred only Singaporeans take part.

Some of the complaints that would have been sung included, “when a pregnant lady gets on the train, everyone pretends to sleep” and “when I’m hungry at the food court, I see people (reserve) seats with tissue paper.”
