TL;DR

Singapore authorities are investigating Massive Attack after reports two band members displayed a Palestinian flag and shouted 'Free Palestine' at a Singapore concert; public demonstrations are tightly regulated there to preserve social harmony, and investigators are examining a possible licence breach for the performance. The show was the band's only Singapore date on their world tour, with a next stop in Seoul. If charged, penalties can include fines up to SGD 500 and up to six months in jail, and BBC has sought comment from organizers and the band.
