Incidents[edit]

After the nomination list was released, Chew Sin Huey was not nominated for Best Local Artiste.[2] Programme director Foong Wai See replied that the award was awarded to Singaporean or Singaporean Permanent Resident (PR).[2] Warner Music Group's marketing director James Kang protested that Chew was already a Singaporean PR when she released her album but was not publicised.[2] Shi was however nominated for other awards.[2]

During the award ceremony, many nominated artistes, including local artistes, did not turn up due to other events leading to organisers to comment the local artistes unpatriotic and not supporting their local awards.[3]
