Police interview Lady Gaga concertgoers over accessories that look like handcuffs & bullets​

Note to those attending the last day of the show.

Several people attending Lady Gaga's concert in Singapore were denied entry into the venue and interviewed by the police for having accessories resembling bullets and handcuffs as part of their respective outfits.

At least two fans have taken to Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu to share their experience.

On May 22, Xiaohongshu users "ares" and "Baibaixiong" (transliteration) wrote in separate posts that they were trying to enter the concert at National Stadium when they were stopped by security guards due to their accessories.

They claimed that they were subsequently detained by the police for hours, causing them to miss practically the entire show.

Cartridge belt and fake handcuffs​

Ares, who was at National Stadium for the May 19 show, wore a cartridge belt that features bullet-like loops.

Baibaixiong went to the May 21 show in a belt with fake handcuffs for buckles.

According to the Conditions of Entry for Events at the National Stadium, which can be found on the Sports Hub website, items that resemble weapons are considered prohibited items not permitted into the venue.

The Miscellaneous Offences (Public Order and Nuisance) Act 1906 also prohibits the possession of handcuffs in public places in Singapore.

The two fans said that after being denied entry, they were taken to a room to wait for police officers to take their statements.

They claimed that by the time they were released, the show was already about to end.

They rushed inside the venue to find that they had missed the entire concert.

Ares and Baibaixiong appear to have flown in to Singapore for the Lady Gaga concert.

Baibaixiong wrote that he was detained in a room with seven other fans similarly due to prohibited attire. According to him, all of them said they were Singaporeans and that they had not previously known about the attire rule.

Ares and Baibaixiong both questioned why they were not informed and stopped earlier regarding these prohibited accessories when they went through security checks at Singapore's airport.

They expressed frustration about the experience, calling it mentally traumatising.

Ares said that he was detained for three hours.

Baibaixiong did not state the duration of his detention, but said he felt that the officers were dragging out the process. He claimed they would not let him and the other detainees go even after recording their statements, saying they needed the approval of their higher-ups.

He claimed that he was treated roughly during the detention, not given water and not allowed to use the washroom.

The police's response​

In response to Mothership's queries, the police confirmed that the two persons who wrote the posts were stopped by event security separately on May 19 and 21 as they were found in possession of accessories resembling bullets or handcuffs.

The police were then called in to record their statements.

"The items were seized by the police and the men were released as soon as practicable," the police said.



Since May 19, seven other people have been similarly referred to the police by event security.



The police advises concertgoers to familiarise themselves with the event Conditions of Entry online before going to the venue to avoid having their concert experience disrupted.

Mothership has also reached out to Ares and Baibaixiong for comments.

Anyone who posts on XiaoHongShu but claims to be Singaporean is likely not a real Sinkie but one of those fake converts that PAP wants to force us to integrate with.

either that or the spike ones [blunted pyramids rather]

anw didn't know polis would do a spot check on fans' attire before entry

[batdow]

next time just allow everyone wear underwear only to concert. no need worry security

Lady Gaga has always been one of the most creatively driven artists out there. It’s disappointing when some fans treat her bold looks as a green light to cosplay in ways that come off more trashy than artistic.

 

[singed]

why cannot just wear normal clothes?

I stay near stadium.
All these idiot think they are the 1 performing.

Haha, the police purposely make them miss the concert one. Why need higher up approvals? This type should have SOP. If the items are prohibited, confiscate it. Else just let go. Also approval also don't need so long, until 3 hours. In the end, it's just to inconvenience people.

yah lor i think purposely one. Small matter nia wear some accessories then make it a big fuss. Just wanna drag people’s time to show that they got do things. Lmao.

Prohibited then confiscate lah, need boss’ approval meh… Drag people’s time, wasted people’s money for the flight, accommodation, and concert. If me I sure want them to compensate.
