Earlier this year, they fined several people for organising an unauthorised walk in support of the Palestinian cause.<\/p>\n<p>A police spokeswoman told the BBC that following an investigation the two band members had been issued &quot;stern warnings&quot; concerning alleged offences under Section 3 of the Foreign National Emblems (Control of Display) Act 1949 and Section 16 of the Public Order Act.<\/p>\n<p>The two laws ban the display of foreign flags in public in most cases and set conditions on public events of a political nature, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The spokeswoman said Singapore&#039;s police &quot;take a serious view of acts which could potentially harm the racial and religious harmony in Singapore&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The peace and harmony between different races and religions in Singapore should not be taken for granted, and we must not let external events affect our society,&quot; she added.<\/p>\n<p>Massive Attack is currently on a world tour, with Wednesday&#039;s performance their only date in Singapore. Their next show is due to be held in Seoul on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The band, which pioneered the trip-hop genre, has long been known for its openly political stance on a number of issues, including the war in Gaza. The group currently comprises of founding members Robert Del Naja and Grant Marshall.<\/p>\n<p>Del Naja was arrested earlier this year when he took part in a demonstration in London. He was accused of showing support for  Palestine Action, which is a proscribed organisation in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>A representative for Massive Attack declined to comment when approached by the BBC.<\/p>\n<p>Singapore has also taken a strong stance on public expressions of sentiment regarding the Israel-Gaza war.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities in the multicultural country insist that this is necessary to preserve racial and social harmony.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, the home affairs ministry put out a statement, external advising against &quot;the public display and wearing of articles&quot; in relation to the Israel-Gaza war, including foreign national emblems.<\/p>\n<p>Singapore police have also launched investigations into offline and online events, and have effectively banned public gatherings related to the war.<\/p>\n<p>The Singapore government has consistently supported the &quot;two-state solution&quot;, which would see a Palestinian state exist alongside Israel, as well as full Palestinian membership of the United Nations.<\/p>\n<p>The police spokeswoman said Singapore&#039;s media regulator was still investigating possible breaches of a number of licence conditions placed on the concert and &quot;will take necessary action&quot; when this was concluded.<\/p>\n<p>She said among these conditions was one stipulating that there would be no display of flags &quot;in support of any causes&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>Spain&#039;s PM blames traffickers after 60,000 migrants reach Ceuta from Morocco<\/p>\n<p>Watch: Tens of thousands of migrants enter Spain&#039;s Ceuta from Morocco<\/p>\n<p>How Sam Fender and Olivia Dean&#039;s Rein Me In broke the UK&#039;s singles chart record<\/p>\n<p>Google withdraws new Earth AI tool after warnings over misinformation risks<\/p>\n<p>&#039;I pay \u00a3580 a month to live in a disused care home&#039;: Property guardians show us around<\/p>\n<p>Weekly quiz: Why was a French teenager fined for licking a straw?<\/p>\n<p>Spain&#039;s PM blames traffickers after 60,000 migrants reach Ceuta from Morocco<\/p>\n<p>Police release Nancy Guthrie ransom notes in latest bid to find kidnappers<\/p>\n<p>How Sam Fender and Olivia Dean&#039;s Rein Me In broke the UK&#039;s singles chart record<\/p>\n<p>Snapchat joins other popular platforms in fight against &#039;AI slop&#039;<\/p>\n<p>Massive Attack banned from Singapore after pro-Palestine display at show<\/p>\n<p>No sentence long enough for jailed funeral director Robert Bush, say families<\/p>\n<p>&#039;I pay \u00a3580 a month to live in a disused care home&#039;: Property guardians show us around<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2026 BBC.
