SINGAPORE: The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) said on Thursday (Aug 28) that several allegations by a comedian about his Singapore shows’ cancellation were "inaccurate".
The authority said the licence application for Mr Sammy Obeid's shows on Sunday was rejected because it was submitted late.
