Not Funny: Stand up comic from New York wanted in Malaysia over joke on MH370's disappearance, Watch
Malaysian police is reportedly planning to seek assistance from Interpol to trace a New-York based comedian who mocked Malaysia and made jokes on disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.
According to Malaysia’s state news agency Bernama, Jocelyn Chia will face an investigation under Malaysia’s laws pertaining to offensive or obscene online content and insulting speech.
Police Chief Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani stated that they would seek Interpol’s aid in uncovering Chia’s complete identity and whereabouts.
Originally from Singapore, as stated on her website, Chia stirred controversy after a video clip of her standup at a New York club, in which she joked about the rivalry between Singapore and Malaysia, went viral online.
During her performance, she made remarks about Malaysia having “dumped” Singapore, alluding to the separation of Singapore from Malaysia in 1965.
Chia further commented that Singapore had achieved the best “break up revenge” by transforming into a “first-world country,” while Malaysia remained a “developing country.”
She also joked that Malaysians had not visited Singapore in years because their “airplanes cannot fly.” Upon receiving a lukewarm response from some members of the audience, she added, “What, the Malaysian Airlines going missing isn’t funny, huh? Some jokes don’t land.”
I don't know why Jocelyn Chia's direct hate speech is popular with American audiences
It sucks to joke on flight MH370
American values seem to be ingrained in her mind
So it doesn't matter, she would happy to see her citizenship was removed by Singapore. #JocelynChia #MH370 pic.twitter.com/2ttcyAMCgx
