It’s a common sight to witness Malaysians and Singaporeans engaging in playful banter, which, in a twisted way, has actually strengthened our bond.
Jocelyn Chia, a stand-up comedian hailing from the lion city of Singapore, recently found herself in hot soup with Malaysians due to a video she shared on social media, showcasing her performance at New York’s Comedy Cellar. “When my Prime Minister went on TV to announce you guys had dumped us, he cried because he thought we were not going to survive without you. But then, 40 years later, we became a first-world country.”Here’s where the controversy stirred. In the subsequent parts of her act, Chia jokes about Malaysia being the clingy ex attempting to rekindle ties with Singapore.
Her remarks earned her disapproving glances from the audience, to which she cheekily responded, “What? Malaysian airlines going missing is not funny huh? Some jokes don’t land. This joke kills in Singapore.”
