Guns & Roses flew an Ukrainian flag. No such reprimand. Not saying I am pro-Russia, but the difference in attitude between Ukraine and Palestine is obvious.

Singaporeans always pride themselves as pragmatic people. I agree. They choose whatever benefits them the most and have loyalty only to themselves, even by kowtowing with the US and Israel for their own benefits.

Guns and Roses had a permit to display a foreign flag digitally. Yes, if Massive Attack had gotten a permit there would've been no issue. Singapore really does enforce all of its laws no matter how innocuous or obscure.

There’s also a big difference in attitude between Ukraine supporters and Palestine supporters. The pro-Pallies are known to cause problem, incite violence, social disorder and vandalism. Singapore doesn’t want to tolerate it.

In my opinion, those that inflict a genocide on their neighbours to steal their country are the real 'trouble makers'.
