The Confessions Tour DVD has been banned in Singapore due to the crucifixion.
Singapore's New Paper contacted Warner Music Singapore, its marketing manager, Mr Simon Nasser, said the Media Development Authority has not approved the DVD’s release. MDA could not be reached for comment at press time.
Mr Nasser said Warner Music had submitted it for approval last month. The application and a subsequent appeal were rejected.
’We were asked to remove the cross scene in the video but Warner Singapore does not have the rights from Madonna’s management to do that,’ he said.
Anyway, Madonna fans were able to catch the concert on cable TV’s Channel V. The channel also gave away the DVDs as part of a promotional campaign in Kuala Lumpur last month.
Mr Brenton Wong, 44, a public relations consultant, said he was not surprised by the ban. ’It is understandable. In Singapore we are sensitive about provoking religious groups,’ he said. But he also thinks Singapore society is mature enough to handle the provocative material that Madonna dishes out. ’She’s known to do it,’ he said. ’People should not read so much into it.’
