Singapore bans Jolin Tsai's MV
22 May - Taiwanese media reported that Jolin Tsai's song and music video, "We're All Different, Yet The Same", has been banned in Singapore.
According to Mingpao News, the Media Development Authority (MDA) has sent ban notices to television and radio stations in the country so as not to air the song or the music video.
It was reported that the song has been banned because of the lyrics that encourage the pursuit of equal rights of marriage for the LGBTI community, which conflicts with the laws in Singapore.
This is not the first time a song has been banned for its lyrical content. Last year, A-Mei was banned from performing her song "Rainbow", which is a tribute to gay couples, at her concert.
As for the recent ban, Jolin's manager stated that the singer is disappointed with the decision, as the song is her way of expressing support for the equal rights of marriage.
However, the singer will respect the differences of opinion.
The music video for "We're All Different, Yet The Same" was inspired by the story of a lesbian couple who has been together for 30 years. It features a wedding scene between Jolin and featured Taiwanese actress Ruby Lin.
