The parliamentary handout which points to popular singers like Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande as having offensive lyrics outraged netizens while the Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam justifies it as merely an illustration of what can be deemed...

Popular television personality Hossan Leong is among those who are unimpressed with Parliament’s “offensive playlist” which includes songs by artists such as Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande.

The handout said that Lady Gaga’s song “Judas,” Ariana Grande’s “God is a woman,” Hozier’s 2013 hit “Take Me to Church,” and Nine Inch Nails song “Heresy” are examples of songs with offensive lyrics. “All of that is untrue. I made the point that people may find many things offensive. And gave the list as an illustration. Doesn’t mean that it can all get banned, just because some people find it offensive. That is also a point I made in the speech.”
