While the People Power Party requested the withdrawal of the film 'The Assassin(s)' as the opening film of the Singapore International Film Festival, the festival organizers have stated that it will be screened as scheduled.

Previously, the People Power Party sent a letter to the festival organizers asking them to reconsider the selection of the opening film, claiming that the movie distorts history in a way that goes strongly against public sentiment.

In response, the festival organizers explained that the production team of 'The Assassin(s)' has stated that "cinematic imagination was added to historical events," adding that the festival also intends to present 'The Assassin(s)' as "a single creation."
