Matt Healy’s “tantrum” during the Good Vibes Festival this year has prompted the Minister to shut down the festival immediately. The festival is over but how do we make sure history does not repeat itself?

Deputy Minister of Communications and Digital, Teo Nie Ching suggested a “kill switch” to stop unwanted things from happening at future concerts, especially indecent acts. The suggestion was brought up today (October 30) in Parliament, where Teo said she has informed the concert organisers to prepare themselves a kill switch just to anticipate and prevent.

Teo said this step is taken to ensure the viral Matt Healy’s “tantrum” incident, where he kissed his male partner on stage does not happen again. How does the kill switch work?

“The organisers will switch off the electricity supply if there is any unwanted incidents during the performance”, Teo explained.

This suggestion is also taken as a measure and a reminder for all artistes to respect local cultures, Teo added.

The kill switch is not the only step that will be taken during the performances but police officers and other agencies will also be deployed at the scene to monitor the situation.

As for taking action against the performers who breach the rules and regulations, Teo said it is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Communications and Digital but under the purview of the Foreign Ministry and Immigration Department.

In case you missed it, the lead singer of the British band 1975, Matt Healy made headlines after he criticised the Malaysian government in regard to the LGBTQ law in the country. He then smashed a drone before kissing his partner on stage.
