US comedian Sammy Obeid has accused Singapore’s media regulator of censorship after his forthcoming show was cancelled, but officials say his permit was rejected due a late application submission.
Obeid, who was set to perform at Singapore’s Victoria Theatre on 31 August, said in a statement on his Instagram that his script was “rejected twice” by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and that he was ultimately told a permit would not be issued.
