Sabah cops to advise postponing US gospel singer Israel Houghton’s concert
State police commissioner Jauteh Dikun says two reports have been lodged over the concert.
PetaJaya: Sabah police say they may advise postponing US gospel singer Israel Houghton's concert if organizers apply, based on public reactions and community concerns. Commissioner Jauteh Dikun stated that two police reports have been lodged regarding the event's unsuitability, citing the singer's support for Israel and his previous Instagram post on Oct 8, 2023.
The concert, set for Oct 22-25 in Kota Kinabalu, is part of Houghton's international tour with Sabah as one of the stops. Houghton, an 8-time Grammy Award winner, is also known for the group Israel & New Breed. Police are monitoring the situation and awaiting the organizers' formal application.
