SINGAPORE: Allowing Swedish black metal group Watain's concert to be held in Singapore would be against"public order interest and affect our religious and social harmony", said Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam on Thursday .scheduled for that evening, as advised by the Ministry of Home Affairs .
Mr Shanmugam also said that the general approach the Government takes with a music event involves asking if what the band is going to do would be considered offensive in Singapore. Earlier this week, one Rachel Chan lodged an online petition calling for a ban on Watain, as well as another Swedish metal group Soilwork. Soilwork's concert is scheduled to take place in Singapore this October.
