  • A confidentiality clause was included in the contract for Taylor Swift's shows in Singapore, said Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Edwin Tong in Parliament on Monday (March 4)
  • The Government is considering taking action against those who leaked information about the deal
  • Mr Tong added that the Sports Hub aims to be “more than simply a venue for hire”

SINGAPORE — A confidentiality clause was included in the contract for Taylor Swift's shows in Singapore, and the Government is now mulling "appropriate measures" since some details of the deals were leaked, said Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Edwin Tong on Monday (March 4).

Mr Tong was responding to a question from Nominated Member of Parliament Usha Chandradas who asked whether there was a confidentiality clause in Taylor Swift's contract with Singapore, and if so, whether the Government will take action against those who breached it.

She noted that the news of Swift striking a deal to make Singapore the only Southeast Asian stop on her Eras Tour has “struck a nerve” with some of Singapore’s neighbours.

Without mentioning any names, Mr Tong said the Government will assess the terms of the contract and will take “appropriate measures under advisement”.

Last month, Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin was quoted as saying that Singapore had brokered a deal to pay the pop star up to US$3 million (S$4.04 million) for each of her six concerts — in exchange for keeping the shows exclusive to Singapore in Southeast Asia.

According to Mr Srettha, concert promoter Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) had informed him of the arrangement.
It was later reported by CNA that the figure is closer to US$2 million to US$3 million in total for all six shows.

Mr Tong added that the goal of Kallang Alive Sport Management (KASM), which manages the Singapore Sports Hub, is to be “more than simply a venue for hire”

“Our aim is to bring a whole spectrum of events to Kallang for Singaporeans, from top-tier marquee events to community-related ones — from music concerts to sporting as well as social events.”

He said that since the Government took over, the Sports Hub has seen a 30 per cent increase in sports, entertainment and community and lifestyle event days from 2019.

Besides bringing in world-class acts such as Taylor Swift, Coldplay, and Mayday Parade, Mr Tong said KASM has brought in marquee sporting events and has a team dedicated to organising more free community sporting events.

For example, Sports Hub hosted a record 43 National School Games finals in 2023, compared with 16 before the pandemic, he said.

"While we cover a range of top-tier events that are ticketed, there is also a range of non-ticketed and non-revenue generating events, such as the large-scale festivals during Chinese New Year, last year for Hari Raya, and Deepavali," he said.

“This ensures that we have a strong social return by providing programmes for everyone to bond, interact and build affinity with the Sports Hub.

should b “advice” not “advisement” :cool:

No way Edwin de soTong can sue anyone.

Everybody will deny. Nothing he can do because the Thai side will not say who told them.

In the end, it is only basic economics.

Responsible & elected govt would have to be VERY careful with the revenues that are EARNED by hardworking citizens, for social expenditure to all.

1. Since CIVILIZATION began, Humanity knows that money is not grown on trees & would need hardwork & cultivation to grow & amass wealth. For each $1 sacrificed, it MUST be returned with at the least $3 in cash or kind as returns, in order for sustainability.

More so for ELECTED politicians, as those funds are necessary for citizens & citizens yet to come, progress & evolution

There is no need to be too concerned about receiving a chicken wing in return for an expected whole chicken, not by the govt, but by taxpayers & citizens. It is only the Keynesian model which saw Humankind progressed & evolved, gaining far more with a whole cow that entails jobs creation, opportunities for all & a bigger treasury for social expenditure than a mere chicken, after the great Depression in the 1920s, which affected the whole World.


2. Demagogues, whom have the gift of the gab, would readily give out EVERY single penny in the Nation's treasury, in order that they remain in power with an objective - to rob further revenues earned from hardworking citizens, or sadly, to uphold their FOOLISH naive liberal idealism that is not tinged with pragmatism & sustainability.


3. Dictators, Monarchs, & the likes of Hamas would say end the BS - your every penny belongs to us to stay in power as gods on Earth. Screw even the chicken wings model.

Humans born on Earth DO have a choice & gift of free will along with many other gifts. Just make the right choice & have the courage to bear the eventual consequences.....

Where did the leak actually take place? Can midget Tong actually prove it? Otherwise, AEG can always challenge the jurisdiction of the Sinkie courts and take the suit to US. Does midget Tong have the balls to fight it in the US courts?
