MHA was informed of the application and after considering it, told IMDA that it objected to the concert.
"My officers and I took into account the reaction of the Christian community ... and the broader security implications of that reaction, both in the medium and longer term," he added.Mr Shanmugam acknowledged that the reality of the matter “turned out to be different” from the initial assessment. “So he knows that his music attracts fanatics with extreme ideas,” said Mr Shanmugam. “He is aware of the lawnessness, violence, crime, madness that can follow.”
Mr Danielsson was also reported to have said that he had “always been encouraging music to take a physical form”, citing the church burnings in Norway in the early 1990s. “To me it’s the very natural consequences of rock and roll, in the end, being the Devil’s music,” he said.Mr Shanmugam said he recognised that some Singaporeans disagree with the Government.
Problem people have with this cancellation is done at the last minute after approval by MDA with no compensation by the MDA to all affected including fans and organisers. Imagine the whole HSR system here is in place and Malaysia says no deal with no compensation.
