Thailand PM dulan when Taylor Swift told him she has a secret agreement with PAP that she will only perform in Sg and nowhere else in Southeast Asia

PAP is a very selfish organisation with no sense of shame. It will not hesitate to fuck anyone and never believes in a win win solution. ASEAN countries should come together and teach Sickipoora a lesson.

Actually, what is the big fuck about this Taylor Swift AMDL?

 

[laksaboy]

Taylor Swift is a satanic witch, those who have discernment will know.

Thailand is currently covered in smog. Their country also have lots of military coups. You think Taylor wants to go to such countries?

Majulah PAP!

Speaking at the iBusiness Forum 2024 in Bangkok, he claimed that he was told the Singapore government offered $2m to $3m (£1.6m to £2.4m) per show in exchange for exclusivity on the island.

Wow, is PM Lee a Swiftie? /s
Doesn't sound right to me though, Singapore government paying 2-3M per show for a total of 6 shows in Singapore is 12 - 18m, when Taylor Swift can earn a lot more from playing more shows in the region.
Maybe the last line gives a little more insight:

In 2014, Swift had planned a show at Impact Arena Muang Thong Thani, but she later cancelled the sold-out concert. No reason was given, but it came after the country's 2014 coup.

It is exactly due to the instability of unreliability of the surrounding ASEAN nations that her team probably decided this was a good deal.
She essentially gets paid extra, Singapore gets Tourism + Taylor Swift economics for the period. As long as the benefit in Tourism > Cost of paying her, which if you look it up, Google's generative AI stated LA had about 320 million in economic benefit. (It's Google AI, don't know if trustworthy. We are also not LA.)
Forbes estimated that 4.6 billion economic benefit from her Americas leg which was around 60 shows. So I would say it's a good deal for both parties.

Absolutely. And imagine going to Malaysia to perform and have religious twat biscuits screaming “AURAAAAT” at you and attempting to get your concerts shut down. I’d take the money and skip, too: getting paid to avoid going through this is a definite win-win.

They were trying to shut down Coldplay, the most unoffensive band you could imagine.
Even worse as a band they've done huge amounts of charity work for our country with things like the interceptor boat cleaning up Klang River for a decade now and these idiots who are polluting it have the nerve to abuse them and demand they never play here.
Think this was a solid deal, know a lot of people who bought tickets for her shows in SG. When you add up all the money spent on accommodation etc. the flow on for tourism dollars is high.

Is a business world… Thailand can also strike this type of deal with any world class performers, no one is stopping Thailand to do such deal….
Just need to paid the world class performers to enough goodies… so that they will skip Singapore…

I think 2 to 3 million is too little.
I think per show costs more.
Forbes say that she generated a value of 4.6 billion for the economy.

I think 5 million per show is more like it

Thailand should retaliate and now impose visa requirements for the red powderful passport

Malays knew from a long time ago, sinkie is the israel of south east asia. A thorn in the flesh.will sabotage other neighbours for its own selfish interest. Indonesia suffered the biggest brunt.

Knn Thailand didn't come up with a a package nice and big enough. It's nothing about coup or instability as mentioned.

Get japanese porn stars to do " tiger shows" in haatyai and bangkok.

ASEAN still doesn't realize that your backstabbing neighbor is not your friend?

 

[orh mee suah]

Unscrupulous. Yes?
By the way, Taylor Swift bears an uncanny resemblance to Anton Lavey's daughter, Zeena Galatea Schreck (née LaVey).

Don't expect the wankers to bring that up.

 

[A Singaporean]

I look forward to a total destruction of Sickipoora economy by Asean cuntries so that Sinkies can learn what it is like to be betrayed.
