their economy a lot. Maybe what I know is wrong, but
that's what I learnt
from the Taiwan singer issue in Egypt this May."
Is this what you're referring to?

Yes, that's the one (it seems I have bad memories on dates :P).
And on March 2 the MTV director confessed it's a fake gunpoint report due to
some misunderstanding and the singer Stephaine helped to promote Egypt to
Taiwan people after the Egypt travel agency made an announcement on the
Internet to request for a correction on the media.
If you wish to read the announcement, you could download the PDF from here:
