Livescape Group CEO Iqbal Ameer believed the measure, proposed by a deputy minister recently, would not deter foreign artistes from performing in Malaysia.He said the “kill switch” would give all parties a greater safeguard should untoward incidents arise. However, he said, the industry hoped there would never be a need for it to be employed.
However, Iqbal said there needs to be proper communication processes and policies put in place with the “kill switch” to ensure a smooth response should it ever need to be engaged. The ministry introduced stricter guidelines for events after The 1975’s provocative performance at a performance in Sepang in July. The band’s lead singer, Matty Healy, criticised Malaysia’s laws against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender activities before kissing his male bandmate. It led to the three-day Good Vibes Festival being shut down by the government.However, a lawyer who works with celebrities has raised doubts over the efficacy of a “kill switch” as a one-size-fits-all solution.
