I'm not Malaysian . So I wasnt offended. But I get the feeling she was mad, idk about what. Maybe she a Malaysian boyfriend, husband left her, or she couldn't get citizenship there,
Who will want a Malaysia citizenship? A lot of Malaysians are eager to dump their citizenship. There’s no resentment from Singaporean to Malaysian but it’s the other way round. They are always comparing. Singaporeans really don’t care who is better. Both unique and different. they have a loser mentality. they should own their problem. Cancelling Joscelyn not solving anything. The ugly truth hurts.
As a Malaysian, the reason why Malaysians were offended because she couldn't make the joke hit among the crowd. The way she do it makes it look insulting to Malaysians.
She is not mature enough and real amateur for making a joke. Her body language , eyes contact , and even the way she talk she seems like had a revenge to Malaysia. But actually to me, I'm ok if she mocking out the Malaysia because that normal for some comedian either from Malaysia or some Asian countries, but the worse thing was she making joke of the UNSOLVED AIRPLANE TRAGEDY which is still cried with to many victims families
Woah watching this made me feel like a narrow-minded person. I think it’s terrible to make jokes about devastating events i.e 911, pearl habour, nanjing massacre and mh370. They’re on different level of tragedy but still, I would never find it acceptable, let alone funny. Locate her is a bit too extreme but really hope she can apologise
It is neither nice to make stinging jokes about any country. You can make jokes but a good comedian will try to make jokes about another country based on some idiosyncrasies of the people but not belittling a country like this comedian. Those stinging jokes become sick jokes.
The joke could’ve been funny but she was pretty aggressive with her attacks on Malaysia. On top that, her smug face at the end of her delivery just wasn’t sitting right with me and was kinda weird 😬
People have a right to determine what they find offensive or not, just as much as they have the right to determine what is funny or not. Neither humor nor tolerance for offense are universal. Jocelyn's greatest sin was simply not being funny or clever with her material; just mean spirited. Daniel really offers a fantastic perspective early in the video with a very reasonable and admirable take.
When you go for a stand up show, barriers and limits are usually lowered if not completely ignored. Telling people "some jokes can't be cracked even if it's at a stand up show" is the same as telling an F1 racer "you can only drive at this speed the entire race". I think the problem that people have with her is 1. She's Singaporean 2. Her delivery which sounded so hateful
I am a Singaporean and I feel that by the way how she made fun of the country and the Malaysian airline has really gone overboard. To say that those who felt offended has definitely overreacted is far too irresponsible. Just like if I say, with a sneering look that Chia is a silly, ugly old auntie who cant really make jokes and thinking that her joke is funny is such an embarrassment to herself and family. How will she feel? By saying that she doesn't feel offended is most probably a lie unless she doesn't understand English. I have been to several parts of Malaysia and I really feel they are a bunch of nice people, far better than most Singaporeans that I have met who think too highly of themselves and very spoilt and selfish. I don't think Malaysians deserve such unkind comments from Chia. Chia, pls reflect and stop making such irresponsible comments anymore.
It’s every individual’s prerogative to feel offended at the joke. So it’s totally fine if Malaysians get offended. By all means go boycott her show or ban her from your country. But to resort to interpol to locate her? That’s definitely an overreaction. The shame has definitely shifted from Jocelin to the Malaysian police. And your comment about Singaporeans being spoilt and selfish, that’s your opinion and you have your prerogative to share your feelings. Should Singaporeans get offended and cancel you? Chia is a comedian speaking in a comedy club in US. She has toured the country and repeated the joke multiple times and the audience found it funny. Clearly the target audience are not the Malaysians.
That's the beauty of free speech, dear. You can practice your right of freedom of speech by calling her names and to cause offence, as long as not attempting to incite violence. No need for Big Brother Orwellian government overreach just because some people decide to be a snowflake.
This is nonsense. Its her freedom and what she said is true fact. The Malaysian government should be the shame as they failed to find the plane to give answer to the family
A lot of comedians made fun of Msia before. As a Malaysian i was not offended because our local comedians made fun of cultures in other countries before too. I think its the context that is being shared. MH370 victims are still MIA and their families are still broken hearted over this. Its like my Grandpa has passed away and a comedian just laugh it off which makes her a complete ja#k a##
This whole interpol thing is just a show. To help clam down the unrest. Our authorities probably don't give two shits about this. It's all about scoring brownie points.
As malaysian that appreciates stand up comedy, I think the whole joke was unfunny and in poor taste and come across that she meant it more than a joke. That been said, I think the whole thing is blown out of proportion and the political movement has been milking it for brownie points. The comedian doesn't deserve anything more than a thumbs down and maybe being cancelled locally but i don't it would have mattered to her anyway.
To me, the problem isn't specifically the joke in question but more of the audacity that a Singaporean or former Singaporean would say even attempt it. The smugness of superiority is IMO what really set off many Malaysians knowing that the comedian is fully aware of the history between the two nations. If a random Canadian/American said the joke, I don't think there will be much blow back at all. However I do agree it's over the top now and the best way forward is to just drop the subject all together unless this comedian says something that further fuels the fire again. Added to the fact that the SGD is at its highest it has ever been compared to the RM.
1. Jocelyn's joke doesn't represent the view of all Singaporeans, but neither does the minister's apology. 2. You can say her joke wasn't funny, but that's where it ends, freedom of comedic expression. 3. Engaging Interpol to go after a comedian who performed a joke, at a comedy show, in the US, is ridiculous.
For point 3, US also has their own baseline that comedian can't cross. Not all jokes can be said. Imagine this 'comedian' say F.U a$$hole African instead of Malaysian, I wonder she will consider herself lucky if NYPD arrest her before she leave the cellar or she will get shot...
Guess the word Interpol is not funny among you Singaporeans right? Seems like it makes you all uncomfortable with a small word. What else scares you all? Tell us. LOL!
Why would you joke about a tragedy that nobody has closure over it, nobody knows what happen, who to blame, no bodies to bury, victim's family still mourning. And on top of that, she threw an entire nation under the bus as if we could have prevented it. jokes about tragedy usually requires prepping the audience but with her sneering, snickering at Malaysia like some sore ex, why do anyone expect people to not be mad at it ? jokes on tragedy are also use to punch up not punch down, the entire Malaysia part that she made just feels off
I am no Malaysian but I honestly think the MH370”joke” is no acceptable. There were so many lives on the plane! Till now the deceased’s family still has no closure 😢
My opinion is 1. Her delivery was bad. She could have potentially stayed on the same topic, but with better delivery 2. It was okay that people stand up against her at first, but it's gone waaaaay overboard.
I dont get it. If you guys are fine with jokes about mh370, how would you feel about someone jokes about your dead family members? The lady is a horrible person. Period
Comedians have made "jokes about" bigger tragedies than MH370... If this is your introduction to comedy that isn't Brian Regan or Jim Gaffigan levels of clean, you're in for a WILD ride. Pray to God you never discover Louis C.K. Sam Kinison or Anthony Jeselnik
Clearly you haven’t watched top comedians like Jimmy Carr and Ricky Gervais. And maybe you are not suited for dark humor. Just to be clear, yes it may be insensitive and offensive to spread dark humor but there is a group of audience who likes dark humor. Those who attends her show, clearly appreciates dark humor and hence she is pandering to their likings. Those who are offended are not her target audience.
@@Whatexactlyispeace yeah maybe some ppl just dont suit with dark humor. But did she rlly promoted her comedy skit with only her target audience? No. Bcs she posted it online *herself* so tht all people in the world *including* those who u claim as *"dont suit with dark humor"* to see it. And now tht's not abt the target audience. Tht's only her, doing tht for her own favor, to become effortlessly famous comedian. Period.
To me, there is no line in stand up comedy. It’s not their job to be sensitive. It’s their job to make the audience in the setting laugh. And from the video, it appears that the Americans laughed
As a Malaysian i was not offended on any jokes make towards us because we will do the same. Just that her joke just doesn't land, she's trying too hard, not really a good comedian.
I' m Malaysian. To me, it was more of her tone and facial expressions that really irks me. Her jokes crashed in my opinion. To some, Malaysia may not be a first world country, but we have Michelle Yeoh as the first Asian actress to receive an Oscar
Joke Michelle Yeoh is not Malaysian she is from Hong Kong. Her Career and life was in Hong Kong when she first started with no thanks to malaysia. Later in life her career was in America and Hollywood. She is part Hong Kong and American more than she is a Malaysian.
@@ogeyrat Lol. Her family all from Malaysia, and still stay in Malaysia. Her career took off in Hong Kong doesn't make her HongKonger. Ronny Chieng studied in Singapore doesn't make him Singaporean.
After hearing the part about joking about 9-11, I think I understand why the MH370 joke was not taken well: There was no clear offending party to direct the joke at. Afaik, till today, no one truly knows what happened to MH370 (i.e. It's an unexplained accident with way too many moving parts), so there's no entity to sort of "put the blame on" or to explain what had happened, while on the other hand, in the 9-11 incident, the Taliban were clearly the perpetrators of that attack, so there was a clear target for the joke. This just makes it such that when you tell the MH370 joke, no matter how you set it up, it's gonna either sound like you're making fun of the lives lost, or making fun of Malaysia when there probably was nothing anyone in Malaysia could have done to prevent it. TL;DR Jocelyn just picked a bad topic for a joke.
I think any tragedy can be turned into comedy but it's the talent of the comedian to weave the narrative points of the tragedy. Good comedians will deliver a punchline that's personal perspective or a new perspective on the absurdity of the situation. On the top of my head, if the MH370 joke pivoted into highlighting how in this modern age, a commercial plane can go missing and how there should be better standards in aviation travel then it wouldn't be bad or even if she just attacked the corrupt incompetent government but instead she threw a whole nation under the bus.
@@VivianHoGrey13 Yes indeed, this is still a tragedy. the common enemy here is how the govt at that time handled the situation; it will be funny if she made the joke around that. But her punchline was "fuck you malaysians"
I'm Malaysian and I was not offended. I thought it was interesting drama for a while and it was okay for Malaysians to be upset, for a while. But now it has overrun its time. The fact that govt asking interpol does not surprise me. Its the Malaysian government afterall lor, jokes on us now
Not really🤔 i think the MH370 investigation are still ongoing, i still remember the police confiscated the flying stimulation equipment that belong to one of MH370 pilot so far there is nothing wrong with the equipment beside Malaysia ask Interpol to track her whereabouts not track & arrest her😂 i think maybe Malaysia authority want to know her flight record from that year where the plane missing🤷 well any little bit of clue would help even there is none on this woman😂
What separates a good comedian and bad ones, are the expressions. If she would’ve done "fak you" in a sarcastic manner, the whole drama would’ve had happened. The jokes she made were not that offensive, the way she presented it was. I would’ve seen Un Roger done it in a different way and it won’t feel offensive. Guess not everyone has the talent, so yeah she wasn’t funny at all.
As a Malaysian, I don’t think I was offended. But there’s just something about her face, her expression and her way of delivering the unfunny joke. Something’s just off 😂
Narcissistic Personality Disorder - a mental health condition in which people have an unreasonably high sense of their own importance. They need and seek too much attention and want people to admire them. People with this disorder may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others.
jimmy carr is very technical, which is what makes his performances so interesting to watch. punching down is not the issue, it's whether you can tell that the comedian 1. doesn't actually mean what they say, 2. actually does feel empathy.
The offensive part was she is a bit too ignorant and use of the f**** twice including to a Malaysian there. I think she was insulting with hate rather than joking.
What I like about this podcast is that they use a very entry level mic, I believe is the AT2040? But their sound guy is probably very good at eq-ing the mic to make it more "broadcast" kind of sound. I'm pretty partial to the RE20, but this sounds good as well.
It's beyond countries and politics. There are people out there who has MH370 still fresh on their minds as they lost their family and friends then. To make a joke about it then double down is to spit on the people that the victims left behind.
Were any of those people at the comedy show in NYC? And if they were, do they understand that she wasn't saying "all those victims are stupid and their families are too" but "the Malaysian government has historically been dicking around Singapore, Singapore is now doing FINE without Malaysian government"??
its not just a bad joke,... its a bad timing. And if you pause and replay, omg, this jocelyn chia doesn't have a comedy bone in her body. I don't know which part of her joke or any of her joke in the past is funny. ZERO bro. Also, Malaysian or not, you may not felt offended but if your love ones were the victim of that plane crash..... will you say the same thing? Also.... she is so bad to the point you can spot how Jocelyn Chia after one line her face looking for validation, oh will someone laugh than i will laugh, is it funny, ok i think its funny HAHAHHAA. I hope singapore just banned her from coming back.
My favourite comedian is Gabriel Iglesias and he has made jokes about different races and countries at times, but he delivers it so well that it doesnt offend anyone
I found her delivery and tone of her segment too crude, as if she's sounding off her resentment than delivering a dark humor. If its meant to be funny as a joke, its totally lost on me.
Stand up commedian Jocelyn Chia recent comedy in US provoked heated backlash from Malaysia and Singapore. Jocelyn touched on history of separation of Singapore from Malaysia, she used vulgar words on Malaysia, she made fun, looked down and booed Developing Nations. She was wrong to say Malaysia Airlines cannot fly. She was wrong to say Malaysia has no internet. Worst was her reference to Malaysia Airlines MH370 that went missing on March 8, 2014 along with 239 passenger and crew which Jocelyn says is funny. Needless to say, her jokes was hurtful and offensive. Rubbing salt to wounds are many commedians coming out to support Jocelyn including our Malaysian ambassador to US Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz advising Malaysians not to be thin skinned, childish and get upset when someone insult or criticize us. Can vulgarity, insults, lies, people or country misfortune, disguised as jokes be acceptable? Unfortunately in comedy world, commedians can say anything for laughs and all are expected to laugh and not take it seriously. Isn't this similar to bullying? This must change. People must know that words hurt and have huge and wide ramifications and to think twice before they speak.
To me as a Malaysian, I felt that she's doing this in a standup so although it doesn't sounds good, the backlash is abit too much. Personally, maybe its just me, the way she said it is really..... Not nice. Her expression and everything makes me felt like she's high and mighty and Malaysia is a very low country, indeed theres some facts in it but it didnt felt so bad when I heard ir from other comedians. Uncle Roger made fun of Taiwan not being a country, Taiwanese seems fine. 911 is always made fun of and the Americans can take it. So I guess its the way she delivered it. Its getting a bit too much that I think the government is acting abit like....the CCP, cannot take jokes 😶 EDIT: The government is the government, some of them are really brainless so just take it as they're comedians, tq
My stand on this is the same is racist jokes. Its 50% racist 50% joke. But if you want to use offensive material/racism, you better make sure you write a good joke. If not, its 100% racist, 0% joke. She used a tragedy as a metaphor about Singapore and Malaysia, like seriously? Singapore wasn't even a part of MH370 disappearance. It's such a far reach
One Malaysia comedian responds that maybe Jocelyn Chia may have a vengeance feeling towards Malaysia that she decides to vent out in her jokes... just maybe...
Lets make it very clear that Msian’s don’t give a damn about her saying f&£# msia.. it was the MH370 joke that was the main trigger... put urself in those ppl shoes who hv lost family members in the tragedy... it’s not a laughing matter...
What an insightful podcast! Not taking any side and trash talk the other but yall actually did some investigation on the topic and have a nice discussion hahah loved it! A malaysian but working in sg here!! Been a huge fan of this channel since day 1
I am Malaysian. I never offended for joke about Malaysia, or anything accept, RACE, RELIGION AND ROYALTY AND TRAGEDY. This topic is sensitive in Malaysia. I can accept it if people joke about history, food, and even our politicians but not these 3Rs and TRAGEDY. Overreacting?? We are not. At first, we are okay (some) for her F words, but when she brings about MH370, stupid people also can overreact to it.
First of all, you have to ask yourself, if MH370 happened to another country, would Malaysians care? The answer is not one will because they have nothing invested in MH370. Now I understand the sensitivities of the occurrence, but how long do people have to tiptoe around you before you go on with your life? Also, what is the Malaysian Government going to do in asking Interpol to find her? Then what, extradition? Possible jail time? On what charge? As you haven't already noticed, it's a free world out there, much freer than Malaysia in some instances. I doubt that Interpol would march to the tune of the Malaysian government. As far as Michelle Yeoh is concerned, I have known her my whole life and I was the happiest person in the world when I saw she had won an Oscar, the first and only Malaysian to do so. However, what does it mean in the grand scheme of things? Not a thing. This all started when a widow in the video tells the comedian that she cannot say anything about MH370 because of obvious reasons ( I am assuming she watched it online for some reason). Now I feel for her and her son, but who the hell are you to demand such things? I have had people die in my life too but nobody gives 2 hoots about that, and she would probably affirm that feeling if asked. I say to hell with that lady. Yes, she lost a husband and she has to pick up the pieces with her son and she doesn't know how and I am very sympathetic to what's happened to her. However, that doesn't mean she has the entitlement to tell people what to do, say or act when it comes to MH370. Granted, I would never crack a joke like that and in the case of the joke that started it all, it wasn't really funny and incredibly insensitive. However, coming back to the original questions, did any of this have to happen at all? Well, no. The thing is an insensitive person who caught the attention of a sensitive person who then made a public complaint, and that is as far as it went. Now as far as the Malaysian government making it into a political or diplomatic issue is another kettle of fish, which I doubt they would do. At the end of the day, Jocelyn has been pretty open about her stand-up routine and hasn't tried to hide anything and from my point of view, she uses the bit to change rhythm when her jokes aren't working. However, I am sure that there are people out there looking for Jocelyn's blood (read supporters of the lady or people who have lost a loved one in MH370). What people do from here is up to them and I hope for peace and understanding.
If the country was nearby, I am sure there would be a level of care. Thai floods in 2022 or thai kids trapped in the cave, the tsunami that heavily effected Indonesia etc. Most of us in the Asean region have a degree of relations with a neighboring country. To me, the problem isn't specifically the joke in question but more of the audacity that a Singaporean or former Singaporean would say even attempt it. The smugness of superiority is IMO what really set off many Malaysians knowing that the comedian is fully aware of the history between the two nations. If a random Canadian/American said the joke, I don't think there will be much blow back at all but if it was done by a Thai, Vietnamize or Indonesian then it'll probably be quite similar to what we are seeing now. IMO it goes back to maybe our Asian values or something. I would wager that almost all comedians in South East Asia wouldn't rip into their neighboring country's tragedy. Like we wouldn't make fun of Indonesia's aircraft crashes, tsunami, Thailand's major flood in 2022 or whatever else. However I do agree it's over the top now and the best way forward is to just drop the subject all together unless this comedian says something that further fuels the fire again. Added to the fact that the SGD is at its highest it has ever been compared to the RM.
I believe they're only offended because she was initially thought to be Singaporean. It's as if some loud Malaysians have this cohesive inferiority complex and they always rile the rest up to hate on Singaporeans, whether is it our food, our strict laws or housing prices. If a white comedian cracked the same jokes they prolly won't be as bothered.
@@JoeVann-q8e"tHiS iS nOt AbOuT nAtIoNa-" stfu then why the idiots have to highlight her nationality at the start of this issue? Her jokes suck then boycott and condemn her la. Her nationality only got mentioned cos she's Singaporean and like I said, some Malaysians just like to come at us cos of their inferiority complex.
I dont really think Malaysia always fight with singaporean in social media. Malaysia and indonesia, on the other hands, bicker a lot. So to say tht malaysian hate her just bcs she is from singapore, is just a self-centred claim to be made. Try to understand tht smtg just dont rlly mean to be joke abt. Smtg like mh370 tragedy is not a good topic for comedy show. Unlike 911 tragedy which has its own offender, mh370 is a tragedy with no actual conclusion and thus no specific offender tht comedian can make a joke on. Wrong topic plus poor build up just rlly dont make her "joke" lands after all.
all i felt as a malaysian watching the bit was that the only people who might understand the nuances would have to be malaysian or singaporean. and probably the only place she could have made this joke successful was in malaysia itself with some execution tweaks. wasnt offended at all but then again, im not related to any of the MH370 victims. as far as the politicians and interpol goes, all that is just too much..
I am malaysian, I feel when she shout to our citizen rudely it makes me angry as I know a lot of malaysian will back their bros out even it is was a joke. We dont care racials as we think we all are fams. If your bro was curse infrount of a lot people, how will it make you feel?. I know some dont even care but we really care for others. 😢 lagi2 people that is related to MH370.
fyi: i think there was funny parts like undevelope country and no phones and such. I get it, its kinda funny. Just if above thing did't happen malaysian would let slide for sure. Malaysian accept apology very easily but we did't hear any of those maybe the police just searching for her because wants to clarified that she was not giving a hate speech eventhought within a joke. Implication might happen is people will start follow her ways of cursing malaysian just for the fun of it. Malaysian really care about manners. Just a thing or two from me a malay malaysian people.
Her face expression when delivering the jokes just put me off.she give me the impression its not a joke and its not funny.If a comedian can go around F individual or a country and damage our bilateral ties for the excuse of FREE SPEECH,thank god she is in US.WE in Spore is protected by govt from hate speech. Families of flight MH370 is suffering from this unsettled trajedy for their love one.We should at least be sensisitive and considerate and not keep championing free speech
As a Malaysian, When watching the full skit, the jokes weren’t exactly offensive, its just her delivery was very bad and like the podcast mentioned how she tried to desperately clawback and justify that it was funny was the part that was stupid to me. If it was a joke about people’s death and it wasn’t well received then just take blow and apologise, like you may have gone alittle too far. The thing with using MH370 as a joke is pretty dangerous because until now, nobody has any clue or solid evidence to say what happened to it. There’s strong suggestion but no concrete evidence. Families involved in this incident have ZERO closure and had there been an audience member who had a close one on that plane, she must be ready to apologise, empathise and extend her condolences. Time + Tragedy = Comedy True to a certain extent but the death of loved ones, no matter how much time passes, must be respected. Her lack of empathy following all the backlash is what most Malaysians would be angry about.
IMO it's not exactly about the joke. It's about how a Singaporean/ ex Singaporean, our neighbor can choose to joke on a regional tragedy. If a Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian - i expect the backlash to be about the same. We subconsciously assume most ASEAN countries share the same values and are sympathetic towards each other's tragedies. Like if the shoe was on the other foot and Singapore had a major aircraft crash and a Malaysian comedian used the tragedy for a joke, I'd fully condemn him/her for it and expect the same level of backlash from both nations.
It may be some kind of overreact ; however her jokes are aggressive and this turn to be offensive. To say general urbanites Malaysian are not offensive; is not entirely true.
I am with the guy (in the podcast team) that the joke was not funny. I also feel that there is no need to use vulgarities to boost jokes. That said, joking about a tragedy however you put it, is not nice. We have to be sensitive to the feelings of those who experienced it, be it immediate family members or those related. However long it has passed, the pain still exist for those who lost their loved ones.
I like this generation guys brave to speak out , do remember there are no freedom of speech,no answer given we in dictatorship for many years ,I can answer for you . Singaporean young generation ..,.
I believe any jokes on disasters will undoubtedly incur ire from certain groups of people, and Malaysians have every right to be angry about it. Imagine if another comedian made a joke about 9/11, would the results be the same and would it be petty or that they cant take a joke if the US seek help from Interpol (not that they need to)?
Honestly after watching the video I don’t feel the joke at all, more like attacking from her tone and her expression. Quite aggressive as if Malaysia owe her 1mil 😂
Even I as a Singaporean feel like she take things a little bit too far. I don't like her snide and egoistic attitude sia. really asking for a punch kind, very hao lian ya ya papaya.
She is lucky enough to give up her nationality and change to americans orelse she will bring a shame to other singaporeans. I think even most singaporean wont justify her doing. She suit for americans title bcs americans allows bullying and vulgor behaviour bcs they have this "America is a free country" slogan which allows them to do what all they wanted to do including free speech like this which most likely seems like a public bullying on certain ppl.
@@Xyzien she is nothing but a bully. dare to joke about Black lives movement? say F U Neegar....and such, trash them? wel'll see how well black american take the jokes.
While i do think it’s the mean spiritedness and the bad timing bad which i totally agree on… i think the clearest reason why her joke sucks was because… OF HER ANNOYING VOICE. Thats it.
If i were singaporean it's not about freedom of comedy it' about how tiny cute my country is and i love living in it I don't understand someone(public figure/comedian) tried to endanger his/her own country....even s.korea apologized for a single racist citizen, they remember they are small country circled by n.korea, russia, china, japan and SEA What done is done, singapore and malaysia has seperated long years ago why bring it up again? Im not malaysian nor singaporean, SEA brother
I okeh when she said malaysia left sg, we are doing bad and still develop country bc tht right what. But when it come to tragedy of someone i just cant take it as a joke not just MH370 any tragedy or even wars and stuff
Singapore and Malaysia ‘s military are on high alert. Soldiers were deployed at the bridge of the causeway. They were ordered to watch over any possible hostile activities. A Singaporean soldier got bored with his guard duty. He decided to strike a conversation with the Malaysian soldier across the bridge. They could see each other, but the distance was a little too far to talk. The Singapore soldier decided to use hand gestures to communicate. He started moving his arms in a plane gliding manner. [Asking if the Malaysian soldier was from the Air Force] No response. He then moves both his arms mimicking freestyle swimming strokes. [Asking if the other soldier was from the Navy] No response. He then uses his right open palm to repeatedly strike his left closed fist, depicting bombing. [Are you from Artillery?] No response. He turns sideways and pointed at his own lower back. [Asking if the Malaysian soldier was a Backup or Reserve unit] No response. He closes both his fists, place them in front of his eyes. As though using a binocular. [Are you on Lookout in the Observation post?] Finally, the Malaysian soldier reacted. He ran towards his commander’s tent and reported to his officer. “Sir, the Singapore soldier from opposite the island said that...” He paused to catch his breath. “When Night falls, he is going to Swim over and Fuck Your Ass till your Eyes Popped Out.”
I think a good comedy can be seen delivered through uncle roger, despite the mockery you can feel that all the words that comes out are purely joke and harmless. I re-watched it again to consider whether it is a big issue or not but from the tone and all it sounds like something personal.
idk why people being so butthurt over a joke, I actually think we deserved it and it's probably more about Malaysia being behind rather than the plane itself. But I don't condone her cursing my country lol
regarding 2:37 that part in next month July Malaysia and Singapore would have a meeting where discussing about JB become a special economy zone similar to shen zhen.
Malaysian is ok with this… "We can skin a cat in many ways. To skin Singapore, there is not just one method." ~ Dr Mahathir But not ok with a comedian… Bad taste to joke with MH370… how about capitalising on MH370 to stir shit? 😂 Go find MH370 to give a proper closure. Those who are genuinely upset by it because of MH370 should petition and get MY to find it!
Come on la bro not every malaysia will feel very offended you know y because their love ones was not in the plane bro simply logic to ppl who say that malaysian overreacting just imagine me making a joke of your family member death and let us know isit a joke or it hurts you
There is a Comedian who joke about the Comfort Women in Korea during World War 2...he said something like these women are lucky because they get to sleep with young muscular soldiers who are often virgin...but nobody get offended...so it may be true that time plus tragedy = joke
Malaysia has not done enough To solve the mystery and are guilt sensitive about it.. Someone in the government knows something but won't share it with families of the victims. Attacking a comedian is really consciousness of guilt on the part of the government/airlines. My personal guess, the Airlines had pre knowledge this pilot could go rogue/ dangerous. 😢
Frankly, i think the bad vibes from Jocelyn Chia probably came from Malaysian's ex-PM Mahatir who threatened to cut water supply to Singapore on several occasions with many Malaysians echoing his sentiment with shouts of "potong!", "potong!" (meaning cut in Malay) at political rallies. Not forgetting in 2018 errant Malaysian vessals deliberately stayed in Singapore waters in blatant provocation and disrespect. How many times have Malaysia politicians bullied Singapore over the years with the majority of Malaysians gleefully backing them? To me, the profanities directed at Malaysians are not without justification. Singapore is not a punching bag for corrupted and incompetent Malaysian politicians who are only capable of garnering political support by making Singapore the bogeyman by flaming feelings of insecurity and immense jealously! Let this be a wake up call for all Malaysians! Show respect and don't support your political leaders who don't. Btw, Malaysian Uncle Roger called Singapore a country like North Korea but with money! I will argue that this is a lot more offensive than the comments made by Jocelyn Chia. And no Malaysians called him out??? How about his jokes offending China that got him cancelled? I don't see Malaysian influencers making videos rebuking him. Are Malaysians hypocritical, over sensitive, touchy and constantly employing double standards? Well, based on my observations, it definitely seemed to be the case and i really hope i am wrong! 😢😢😢 P/S: Seriously, until today Malaysia still owes the world an answer over what happened to MH370 and we need a comedian to remind us? Will the Malaysian government stop covering up? Planes don't just go missing... the victims deserve closure!😭😭😭
Bro,what u said is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT (100%) CORRECT.It's the whole truth,nothing but the truth.Those shit in M'sia hv no idea how to make M'sia a 1st world country,only "pandai curi duit negara",talk nonsense including religious nonsense (read, "satanic/demonic shit) and always blame S'pore for everything.
This is a bit too one sided. There's shade thrown by both sides of the causeway ever since the separation of Singapore and Malaysia. Sure it may lean more towards one side or the other but we've also heard Singaporeans constantly voice that Malaysia is dirty, unsafe, poor, less educated etc etc. Just yesterday, there were two Singaporeans arrested in Johor for pissing on a public building or something and there's Singaporeans caught every week filling up Malaysia's subsided ron95 petrol which is only for locals and illegal for foreign cars. I can easily say Singapore is complacent in destabilizing Malaysia, two of MPs that played a big role in the coup of the government back in 2020 were educated in Singapore and has strong ties to it. Also the 1MDB fiasco, a lot of money was funneled out from Malaysia via Banks in Singapore, I refuse to believe the Singaporean gov and Singapore's world class financial standards didn't know anything about it when it was ongoing for 5 years. There was a lot of chatter that Sg used the info to twist Najib's arm for certain things. Whether that part is true is debatable. On MH370, I work in aviation and closely with regional aviation adjusters and a majority of them are of the opinion that the circumstances of the tragedy were such a perfect storm for a plane to go missing that there was nothing anyone could have done about it. From the haphazard flight path, exchanging hands to Vietnam airspace, happening in the middle of the night(2am), all transponders going offline and it ending in a route where there's zero radar coverage by any nation. It's either some elaborate tinfoil hat conspiracy or the pilot was mad and pre planned it all.
There is a difference between a joke and an insult, If not Will Smilth will not slap Chris Rock after he feel someone insult him. Somemore dont be too ego when u are in public speaking. Now she know how power of the internet is until she hiding like a dog. Wrong is wrong, just come out and apologize. Ya, she is famous now but famous in a negative way. Boooo👎
Saga aside, ngl found her voice kind of grating. Feel bad for thinking that way but when amplified by the mic and all…hmm ._. It’s the pitch, i think, but it’s probably fine when she’s not trying to project her voice/getting agitated (to suit the joke)?
Malaysian here. To me, it's the tone of her voice and the facial expression also. Seems like she had a seething anger rooted inside of her. Some of us think that her ex must've been a Malaysian dude. Btw, our nasi lemak is better, just saying 😂. Peace ya'll. First time viewer here.
FYI its not a joke at all. It more look like hatred harming. You all still young to see the consequences. Proverbs: If Fire never reach your own skin, your won't feel pain. On her level or many others who never experience hard life, yet to reach a level on empathy (stand in other shoe to feel) and definately w'ont have sympathy. Malaysian Government is not overaeact. It is a protection of the nation. Think. You never stop a small fire, a heat surrounding will get fire big.
Joke is joke and after all joke is meant to make people laugh, right? If involving loved ones who had disappeared with no closure for some members of family which I believe, then it's not right. Esp when people who are sensitive these days, it's best not too go overboard. If given a choice, this comedian should just say sorry, apologize and say there was never any intention to make fun and so on. Most people are forgiving when they know you apologize with sincerity.
rise and shine cam 3!
as a malaysian, i wasnt offended at all by her standup piece. the jokes however, to me wasnt funny.
Hi Kenny, -- u got big board heart!!
i feel shameful ...she is such a low comedian. Lousy talk show.
pls sent her to Malaysia.
@@kkong3670 you need to go back to school.
I'm not Malaysian . So I wasnt offended. But I get the feeling she was mad, idk about what. Maybe she a Malaysian boyfriend, husband left her, or she couldn't get citizenship there,
@@raymondlin8728 yeaa seems a bit too personal right
Who will want a Malaysia citizenship? A lot of Malaysians are eager to dump their citizenship. There’s no resentment from Singaporean to Malaysian but it’s the other way round. They are always comparing. Singaporeans really don’t care who is better. Both unique and different. they have a loser mentality. they should own their problem. Cancelling Joscelyn not solving anything. The ugly truth hurts.
As a Malaysian, the reason why Malaysians were offended because she couldn't make the joke hit among the crowd. The way she do it makes it look insulting to Malaysians.
The way she talked, seems like she had a personal problems with Malaysian. Istg. Her body language doesn't say "just joking" at all.
She is not mature enough and real amateur for making a joke. Her body language , eyes contact , and even the way she talk she seems like had a revenge to Malaysia. But actually to me, I'm ok if she mocking out the Malaysia because that normal for some comedian either from Malaysia or some Asian countries, but the worse thing was she making joke of the UNSOLVED AIRPLANE TRAGEDY which is still cried with to many victims families
Woah watching this made me feel like a narrow-minded person. I think it’s terrible to make jokes about devastating events i.e 911, pearl habour, nanjing massacre and mh370. They’re on different level of tragedy but still, I would never find it acceptable, let alone funny. Locate her is a bit too extreme but really hope she can apologise
It is neither nice to make stinging jokes about any country. You can make jokes but a good comedian will try to make jokes about another country based on some idiosyncrasies of the people but not belittling a country like this comedian. Those stinging jokes become sick jokes.
Apologies also useless as she have done the damage. Luckily Zidane or Will Smith isn't Malaysian.
The joke could’ve been funny but she was pretty aggressive with her attacks on Malaysia. On top that, her smug face at the end of her delivery just wasn’t sitting right with me and was kinda weird 😬
Right.. Like kumar said its like some Malaysian broke her heart 😂
@@charminglilo2976 must be Ronny Chieng la 😂
People have a right to determine what they find offensive or not, just as much as they have the right to determine what is funny or not. Neither humor nor tolerance for offense are universal. Jocelyn's greatest sin was simply not being funny or clever with her material; just mean spirited. Daniel really offers a fantastic perspective early in the video with a very reasonable and admirable take.
When you go for a stand up show, barriers and limits are usually lowered if not completely ignored. Telling people "some jokes can't be cracked even if it's at a stand up show" is the same as telling an F1 racer "you can only drive at this speed the entire race".
I think the problem that people have with her is
1. She's Singaporean
2. Her delivery which sounded so hateful
I am a Singaporean and I feel that by the way how she made fun of the country and the Malaysian airline has really gone overboard. To say that those who felt offended has definitely overreacted is far too irresponsible. Just like if I say, with a sneering look that Chia is a silly, ugly old auntie who cant really make jokes and thinking that her joke is funny is such an embarrassment to herself and family. How will she feel? By saying that she doesn't feel offended is most probably a lie unless she doesn't understand English.
I have been to several parts of Malaysia and I really feel they are a bunch of nice people, far better than most Singaporeans that I have met who think too highly of themselves and very spoilt and selfish. I don't think Malaysians deserve such unkind comments from Chia. Chia, pls reflect and stop making such irresponsible comments anymore.
It’s every individual’s prerogative to feel offended at the joke. So it’s totally fine if Malaysians get offended. By all means go boycott her show or ban her from your country.
But to resort to interpol to locate her? That’s definitely an overreaction. The shame has definitely shifted from Jocelin to the Malaysian police.
And your comment about Singaporeans being spoilt and selfish, that’s your opinion and you have your prerogative to share your feelings. Should Singaporeans get offended and cancel you?
Chia is a comedian speaking in a comedy club in US. She has toured the country and repeated the joke multiple times and the audience found it funny.
Clearly the target audience are not the Malaysians.
I am Singaporean its OK to me, Malaysia are just over react.. they can poke fun on Singapore when it on them they are shocked 😂
That's the beauty of free speech, dear. You can practice your right of freedom of speech by calling her names and to cause offence, as long as not attempting to incite violence. No need for Big Brother Orwellian government overreach just because some people decide to be a snowflake.
This is nonsense. Its her freedom and what she said is true fact. The Malaysian government should be the shame as they failed to find the plane to give answer to the family
Exactly.
A lot of comedians made fun of Msia before. As a Malaysian i was not offended because our local comedians made fun of cultures in other countries before too. I think its the context that is being shared. MH370 victims are still MIA and their families are still broken hearted over this. Its like my Grandpa has passed away and a comedian just laugh it off which makes her a complete ja#k a##
The thing is, theres not even a body found to speak about death. How to move on from this tho, its harder for the victims.
The plot thickens.. Interpol has just released a statement that they have not received any requests for assistance from the Malaysian police. 🤣😂
IGP fking wasting time acting like they're doing smth when they should be looking for Jho Low
Seriously? I heard filed already..
This whole interpol thing is just a show. To help clam down the unrest. Our authorities probably don't give two shits about this. It's all about scoring brownie points.
As malaysian that appreciates stand up comedy, I think the whole joke was unfunny and in poor taste and come across that she meant it more than a joke. That been said, I think the whole thing is blown out of proportion and the political movement has been milking it for brownie points. The comedian doesn't deserve anything more than a thumbs down and maybe being cancelled locally but i don't it would have mattered to her anyway.
To me, the problem isn't specifically the joke in question but more of the audacity that a Singaporean or former Singaporean would say even attempt it. The smugness of superiority is IMO what really set off many Malaysians knowing that the comedian is fully aware of the history between the two nations. If a random Canadian/American said the joke, I don't think there will be much blow back at all. However I do agree it's over the top now and the best way forward is to just drop the subject all together unless this comedian says something that further fuels the fire again.
Added to the fact that the SGD is at its highest it has ever been compared to the RM.
1. Jocelyn's joke doesn't represent the view of all Singaporeans, but neither does the minister's apology.
2. You can say her joke wasn't funny, but that's where it ends, freedom of comedic expression.
3. Engaging Interpol to go after a comedian who performed a joke, at a comedy show, in the US, is ridiculous.
for point 3, that is Malaysia's way of joking with her.
For point 3, US also has their own baseline that comedian can't cross. Not all jokes can be said. Imagine this 'comedian' say F.U a$$hole African instead of Malaysian, I wonder she will consider herself lucky if NYPD arrest her before she leave the cellar or she will get shot...
Guess the word Interpol is not funny among you Singaporeans right? Seems like it makes you all uncomfortable with a small word. What else scares you all? Tell us. LOL!
Yeah, freedom of speech come with consequences.
The 'jokes' is not funny at all and just sound so mean. She also looks so crazy mad and full with hatred.That is not a joke, but an INSULT.
Why would you joke about a tragedy that nobody has closure over it, nobody knows what happen, who to blame, no bodies to bury, victim's family still mourning. And on top of that, she threw an entire nation under the bus as if we could have prevented it.
jokes about tragedy usually requires prepping the audience but with her sneering, snickering at Malaysia like some sore ex, why do anyone expect people to not be mad at it ? jokes on tragedy are also use to punch up not punch down, the entire Malaysia part that she made just feels off
I am no Malaysian but I honestly think the MH370”joke” is no acceptable. There were so many lives on the plane! Till now the deceased’s family still has no closure 😢
My opinion is
1. Her delivery was bad. She could have potentially stayed on the same topic, but with better delivery
2. It was okay that people stand up against her at first, but it's gone waaaaay overboard.
I dont get it. If you guys are fine with jokes about mh370, how would you feel about someone jokes about your dead family members? The lady is a horrible person. Period
Comedians have made "jokes about" bigger tragedies than MH370... If this is your introduction to comedy that isn't Brian Regan or Jim Gaffigan levels of clean, you're in for a WILD ride.
Pray to God you never discover Louis C.K. Sam Kinison or Anthony Jeselnik
@@PyroInTheFace21 or the late greats George Carlin + Bill Hicks
Clearly you haven’t watched top comedians like Jimmy Carr and Ricky Gervais.
And maybe you are not suited for dark humor.
Just to be clear, yes it may be insensitive and offensive to spread dark humor but there is a group of audience who likes dark humor.
Those who attends her show, clearly appreciates dark humor and hence she is pandering to their likings.
Those who are offended are not her target audience.
@@Whatexactlyispeace yeah maybe some ppl just dont suit with dark humor. But did she rlly promoted her comedy skit with only her target audience? No. Bcs she posted it online *herself* so tht all people in the world *including* those who u claim as *"dont suit with dark humor"* to see it. And now tht's not abt the target audience. Tht's only her, doing tht for her own favor, to become effortlessly famous comedian. Period.
As a Malaysian, ofc we overreacted. Joke not funny, but we overreacted la.
To me i think she crossed the line when she made the joke about MH370
There are no lines in the form of speech unless it’s written in law. So it’s abit more fair to say that she crossed “your line”
To me, there is no line in stand up comedy. It’s not their job to be sensitive. It’s their job to make the audience in the setting laugh. And from the video, it appears that the Americans laughed
Your skin is so thin ?
As a Malaysian i was not offended on any jokes make towards us because we will do the same. Just that her joke just doesn't land, she's trying too hard, not really a good comedian.
I' m Malaysian. To me, it was more of her tone and facial expressions that really irks me. Her jokes crashed in my opinion. To some, Malaysia may not be a first world country, but we have Michelle Yeoh as the first Asian actress to receive an Oscar
her jokes did what? 💀
Joke Michelle Yeoh is not Malaysian she is from Hong Kong. Her Career and life was in Hong Kong when she first started with no thanks to malaysia. Later in life her career was in America and Hollywood. She is part Hong Kong and American more than she is a Malaysian.
@@ogeyrat Lol. Her family all from Malaysia, and still stay in Malaysia. Her career took off in Hong Kong doesn't make her HongKonger. Ronny Chieng studied in Singapore doesn't make him Singaporean.
@@ogeyrat, well she was born in Malaysia. That fact cannot be changed, so she is still a malaysian.
@@ogeyratyet in a lot of her interviews, she introduces herself as from Malaysia
After hearing the part about joking about 9-11, I think I understand why the MH370 joke was not taken well:
There was no clear offending party to direct the joke at.
Afaik, till today, no one truly knows what happened to MH370 (i.e. It's an unexplained accident with way too many moving parts), so there's no entity to sort of "put the blame on" or to explain what had happened, while on the other hand, in the 9-11 incident, the Taliban were clearly the perpetrators of that attack, so there was a clear target for the joke.
This just makes it such that when you tell the MH370 joke, no matter how you set it up, it's gonna either sound like you're making fun of the lives lost, or making fun of Malaysia when there probably was nothing anyone in Malaysia could have done to prevent it.
TL;DR Jocelyn just picked a bad topic for a joke.
I think any tragedy can be turned into comedy but it's the talent of the comedian to weave the narrative points of the tragedy. Good comedians will deliver a punchline that's personal perspective or a new perspective on the absurdity of the situation.
On the top of my head, if the MH370 joke pivoted into highlighting how in this modern age, a commercial plane can go missing and how there should be better standards in aviation travel then it wouldn't be bad or even if she just attacked the corrupt incompetent government but instead she threw a whole nation under the bus.
Denise said it right... if you turn this into a said common enemy... that might turn out sooooo differently and prob better
@@VivianHoGrey13 Yes indeed, this is still a tragedy. the common enemy here is how the govt at that time handled the situation; it will be funny if she made the joke around that. But her punchline was "fuck you malaysians"
Waiting for you to invite Kumar to you show 👍👍
I'm Malaysian and I was not offended. I thought it was interesting drama for a while and it was okay for Malaysians to be upset, for a while. But now it has overrun its time. The fact that govt asking interpol does not surprise me. Its the Malaysian government afterall lor, jokes on us now
You're not offended because you don't care about the people who died on MH370
Not really🤔 i think the MH370 investigation are still ongoing, i still remember the police confiscated the flying stimulation equipment that belong to one of MH370 pilot so far there is nothing wrong with the equipment beside Malaysia ask Interpol to track her whereabouts not track & arrest her😂 i think maybe Malaysia authority want to know her flight record from that year where the plane missing🤷 well any little bit of clue would help even there is none on this woman😂
What separates a good comedian and bad ones, are the expressions. If she would’ve done "fak you" in a sarcastic manner, the whole drama would’ve had happened. The jokes she made were not that offensive, the way she presented it was. I would’ve seen Un Roger done it in a different way and it won’t feel offensive. Guess not everyone has the talent, so yeah she wasn’t funny at all.
As a Malaysian, I don’t think I was offended. But there’s just something about her face, her expression and her way of delivering the unfunny joke. Something’s just off 😂
maybe because she is chinese like you.
hmmm maybe she's being used to increase censorship on the internet

jimmy carr is very technical, which is what makes his performances so interesting to watch.
punching down is not the issue, it's whether you can tell that the comedian 1. doesn't actually mean what they say, 2. actually does feel empathy.
The offensive part was she is a bit too ignorant and use of the f**** twice including to a Malaysian there. I think she was insulting with hate rather than joking.
What I like about this podcast is that they use a very entry level mic, I believe is the AT2040? But their sound guy is probably very good at eq-ing the mic to make it more "broadcast" kind of sound. I'm pretty partial to the RE20, but this sounds good as well.
how about the Neumann TLM 102
It's beyond countries and politics. There are people out there who has MH370 still fresh on their minds as they lost their family and friends then. To make a joke about it then double down is to spit on the people that the victims left behind.
Were any of those people at the comedy show in NYC? And if they were, do they understand that she wasn't saying "all those victims are stupid and their families are too" but "the Malaysian government has historically been dicking around Singapore, Singapore is now doing FINE without Malaysian government"??
@@PyroInTheFace21 No they don't this is the wrong info, they can't do without the water
As a Malaysian, I am embarrassed that this is even a thing.
its not just a bad joke,... its a bad timing. And if you pause and replay, omg, this jocelyn chia doesn't have a comedy bone in her body. I don't know which part of her joke or any of her joke in the past is funny. ZERO bro. Also, Malaysian or not, you may not felt offended but if your love ones were the victim of that plane crash..... will you say the same thing? Also.... she is so bad to the point you can spot how Jocelyn Chia after one line her face looking for validation, oh will someone laugh than i will laugh, is it funny, ok i think its funny HAHAHHAA. I hope singapore just banned her from coming back.
My favourite comedian is Gabriel Iglesias and he has made jokes about different races and countries at times, but he delivers it so well that it doesnt offend anyone
I found her delivery and tone of her segment too crude, as if she's sounding off her resentment than delivering a dark humor. If its meant to be funny as a joke, its totally lost on me.
Stand up commedian Jocelyn Chia recent comedy in US provoked heated backlash from Malaysia and Singapore. Jocelyn touched on history of separation of Singapore from Malaysia, she used vulgar words on Malaysia, she made fun, looked down and booed Developing Nations. She was wrong to say Malaysia Airlines cannot fly. She was wrong to say Malaysia has no internet. Worst was her reference to Malaysia Airlines MH370 that went missing on March 8, 2014 along with 239 passenger and crew which Jocelyn says is funny. Needless to say, her jokes was hurtful and offensive. Rubbing salt to wounds are many commedians coming out to support Jocelyn including our Malaysian ambassador to US Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz advising Malaysians not to be thin skinned, childish and get upset when someone insult or criticize us. Can vulgarity, insults, lies, people or country misfortune, disguised as jokes be acceptable? Unfortunately in comedy world, commedians can say anything for laughs and all are expected to laugh and not take it seriously. Isn't this similar to bullying? This must change. People must know that words hurt and have huge and wide ramifications and to think twice before they speak.
To me as a Malaysian, I felt that she's doing this in a standup so although it doesn't sounds good, the backlash is abit too much. Personally, maybe its just me, the way she said it is really..... Not nice. Her expression and everything makes me felt like she's high and mighty and Malaysia is a very low country, indeed theres some facts in it but it didnt felt so bad when I heard ir from other comedians.
Uncle Roger made fun of Taiwan not being a country, Taiwanese seems fine. 911 is always made fun of and the Americans can take it. So I guess its the way she delivered it. Its getting a bit too much that I think the government is acting abit like....the CCP, cannot take jokes 😶
EDIT: The government is the government, some of them are really brainless so just take it as they're comedians, tq
My stand on this is the same is racist jokes. Its 50% racist 50% joke. But if you want to use offensive material/racism, you better make sure you write a good joke. If not, its 100% racist, 0% joke. She used a tragedy as a metaphor about Singapore and Malaysia, like seriously? Singapore wasn't even a part of MH370 disappearance. It's such a far reach
One Malaysia comedian responds that maybe Jocelyn Chia may have a vengeance feeling towards Malaysia that she decides to vent out in her jokes... just maybe...
Lets make it very clear that Msian’s don’t give a damn about her saying f&£# msia.. it was the MH370 joke that was the main trigger... put urself in those ppl shoes who hv lost family members in the tragedy... it’s not a laughing matter...
Malaysian living in Singapore. Was not offended but the joke was just not funny. But of cos if you hv friends family in the tragedy, you would be.
Im a big fan of stand up comedian ..in this case she is not funny...but a mean dark soul of a person!
Your Ads worked, I immediately when into foodpanda to look at the deals and ordered :') Love your videos btw! Big ups!!
What an insightful podcast! Not taking any side and trash talk the other but yall actually did some investigation on the topic and have a nice discussion hahah loved it! A malaysian but working in sg here!! Been a huge fan of this channel since day 1
I am Malaysian. I never offended for joke about Malaysia, or anything accept, RACE, RELIGION AND ROYALTY AND TRAGEDY. This topic is sensitive in Malaysia. I can accept it if people joke about history, food, and even our politicians but not these 3Rs and TRAGEDY. Overreacting?? We are not. At first, we are okay (some) for her F words, but when she brings about MH370, stupid people also can overreact to it.
First of all, you have to ask yourself, if MH370 happened to another country, would Malaysians care? The answer is not one will because they have nothing invested in MH370. Now I understand the sensitivities of the occurrence, but how long do people have to tiptoe around you before you go on with your life? Also, what is the Malaysian Government going to do in asking Interpol to find her? Then what, extradition? Possible jail time? On what charge? As you haven't already noticed, it's a free world out there, much freer than Malaysia in some instances. I doubt that Interpol would march to the tune of the Malaysian government. As far as Michelle Yeoh is concerned, I have known her my whole life and I was the happiest person in the world when I saw she had won an Oscar, the first and only Malaysian to do so. However, what does it mean in the grand scheme of things? Not a thing.
This all started when a widow in the video tells the comedian that she cannot say anything about MH370 because of obvious reasons ( I am assuming she watched it online for some reason). Now I feel for her and her son, but who the hell are you to demand such things? I have had people die in my life too but nobody gives 2 hoots about that, and she would probably affirm that feeling if asked. I say to hell with that lady. Yes, she lost a husband and she has to pick up the pieces with her son and she doesn't know how and I am very sympathetic to what's happened to her. However, that doesn't mean she has the entitlement to tell people what to do, say or act when it comes to MH370. Granted, I would never crack a joke like that and in the case of the joke that started it all, it wasn't really funny and incredibly insensitive.
However, coming back to the original questions, did any of this have to happen at all? Well, no. The thing is an insensitive person who caught the attention of a sensitive person who then made a public complaint, and that is as far as it went. Now as far as the Malaysian government making it into a political or diplomatic issue is another kettle of fish, which I doubt they would do. At the end of the day, Jocelyn has been pretty open about her stand-up routine and hasn't tried to hide anything and from my point of view, she uses the bit to change rhythm when her jokes aren't working. However, I am sure that there are people out there looking for Jocelyn's blood (read supporters of the lady or people who have lost a loved one in MH370). What people do from here is up to them and I hope for peace and understanding.
If the country was nearby, I am sure there would be a level of care. Thai floods in 2022 or thai kids trapped in the cave, the tsunami that heavily effected Indonesia etc. Most of us in the Asean region have a degree of relations with a neighboring country.
To me, the problem isn't specifically the joke in question but more of the audacity that a Singaporean or former Singaporean would say even attempt it. The smugness of superiority is IMO what really set off many Malaysians knowing that the comedian is fully aware of the history between the two nations. If a random Canadian/American said the joke, I don't think there will be much blow back at all but if it was done by a Thai, Vietnamize or Indonesian then it'll probably be quite similar to what we are seeing now. IMO it goes back to maybe our Asian values or something. I would wager that almost all comedians in South East Asia wouldn't rip into their neighboring country's tragedy. Like we wouldn't make fun of Indonesia's aircraft crashes, tsunami, Thailand's major flood in 2022 or whatever else.
However I do agree it's over the top now and the best way forward is to just drop the subject all together unless this comedian says something that further fuels the fire again.
Added to the fact that the SGD is at its highest it has ever been compared to the RM.
I liked this video before watching! 😂 Still diligently catching up to the latest episode! Started from ep1 2 months ago~ till the next checkpoint!
I believe they're only offended because she was initially thought to be Singaporean. It's as if some loud Malaysians have this cohesive inferiority complex and they always rile the rest up to hate on Singaporeans, whether is it our food, our strict laws or housing prices. If a white comedian cracked the same jokes they prolly won't be as bothered.
This is not about nationality, people were angry with her bcoz of the contents of her jokes, which showed no empathy.
@@JoeVann-q8e"tHiS iS nOt AbOuT nAtIoNa-" stfu then why the idiots have to highlight her nationality at the start of this issue? Her jokes suck then boycott and condemn her la. Her nationality only got mentioned cos she's Singaporean and like I said, some Malaysians just like to come at us cos of their inferiority complex.
Haters gonna hate. Even if they know she is not a Singaporean anymore, they'll still use it to bash Singapore.
I dont really think Malaysia always fight with singaporean in social media. Malaysia and indonesia, on the other hands, bicker a lot. So to say tht malaysian hate her just bcs she is from singapore, is just a self-centred claim to be made. Try to understand tht smtg just dont rlly mean to be joke abt. Smtg like mh370 tragedy is not a good topic for comedy show. Unlike 911 tragedy which has its own offender, mh370 is a tragedy with no actual conclusion and thus no specific offender tht comedian can make a joke on. Wrong topic plus poor build up just rlly dont make her "joke" lands after all.
all i felt as a malaysian watching the bit was that the only people who might understand the nuances would have to be malaysian or singaporean. and probably the only place she could have made this joke successful was in malaysia itself with some execution tweaks. wasnt offended at all but then again, im not related to any of the MH370 victims. as far as the politicians and interpol goes, all that is just too much..
12:40 what was censored out? what did LHL wife do?
I felt attacked the moment they say many of our viewers are not subscribed lol! I just subscribed guys!!😂😂
That foodpanda ad was legit fun😂
I am malaysian, I feel when she shout to our citizen rudely it makes me angry as I know a lot of malaysian will back their bros out even it is was a joke. We dont care racials as we think we all are fams. If your bro was curse infrount of a lot people, how will it make you feel?. I know some dont even care but we really care for others. 😢 lagi2 people that is related to MH370.
fyi: i think there was funny parts like undevelope country and no phones and such. I get it, its kinda funny. Just if above thing did't happen malaysian would let slide for sure. Malaysian accept apology very easily but we did't hear any of those maybe the police just searching for her because wants to clarified that she was not giving a hate speech eventhought within a joke. Implication might happen is people will start follow her ways of cursing malaysian just for the fun of it. Malaysian really care about manners. Just a thing or two from me a malay malaysian people.
If you check one of her video, she called her audience pedophile just bcs the girl who were 19 married her 18 yo husband .. her personality is just..
Her face expression when delivering the jokes just put me off.she give me the impression its not a joke and its not funny.If a comedian can go around F individual or a country and damage our bilateral ties for the excuse of FREE SPEECH,thank god she is in US.WE in Spore is protected by govt from hate speech. Families of flight MH370 is suffering from this unsettled trajedy for their love one.We should at least be sensisitive and considerate and not keep championing free speech
They are just pissed they failed to claim all the food that doesn't belong to them in the first place 🤣
As a Malaysian, When watching the full skit, the jokes weren’t exactly offensive, its just her delivery was very bad and like the podcast mentioned how she tried to desperately clawback and justify that it was funny was the part that was stupid to me. If it was a joke about people’s death and it wasn’t well received then just take blow and apologise, like you may have gone alittle too far.
The thing with using MH370 as a joke is pretty dangerous because until now, nobody has any clue or solid evidence to say what happened to it. There’s strong suggestion but no concrete evidence. Families involved in this incident have ZERO closure and had there been an audience member who had a close one on that plane, she must be ready to apologise, empathise and extend her condolences.
Time + Tragedy = Comedy
True to a certain extent but the death of loved ones, no matter how much time passes, must be respected.
Her lack of empathy following all the backlash is what most Malaysians would be angry about.
IMO it's not exactly about the joke. It's about how a Singaporean/ ex Singaporean, our neighbor can choose to joke on a regional tragedy. If a Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian - i expect the backlash to be about the same. We subconsciously assume most ASEAN countries share the same values and are sympathetic towards each other's tragedies. Like if the shoe was on the other foot and Singapore had a major aircraft crash and a Malaysian comedian used the tragedy for a joke, I'd fully condemn him/her for it and expect the same level of backlash from both nations.
I personally think is fine, but i just feel bad for those who lost their family members in the plane if they heard it they ll be quit hurt :(
It may be some kind of overreact ; however her jokes are aggressive and this turn to be offensive. To say general urbanites Malaysian are not offensive; is not entirely true.
I am with the guy (in the podcast team) that the joke was not funny. I also feel that there is no need to use vulgarities to boost jokes. That said, joking about a tragedy however you put it, is not nice. We have to be sensitive to the feelings of those who experienced it, be it immediate family members or those related. However long it has passed, the pain still exist for those who lost their loved ones.
I like this generation guys brave to speak out , do remember there are no freedom of speech,no answer given we in dictatorship for many years ,I can answer for you . Singaporean young generation ..,.
She have been making the same joke for the past 6 years, this incident is a clear sign she needs a better material to be a good comic
Well done for the advert segment!! ;-)
I believe any jokes on disasters will undoubtedly incur ire from certain groups of people, and Malaysians have every right to be angry about it. Imagine if another comedian made a joke about 9/11, would the results be the same and would it be petty or that they cant take a joke if the US seek help from Interpol (not that they need to)?
She should have joked about the fucking bomoh with the coconuts trying to find the plane instead💀
I was thinking the same too. 😂
Honestly after watching the video I don’t feel the joke at all, more like attacking from her tone and her expression. Quite aggressive as if Malaysia owe her 1mil 😂
I liked before clicking play ❤❤❤ because it's the original crew/hosts!
Even I as a Singaporean feel like she take things a little bit too far. I don't like her snide and egoistic attitude sia. really asking for a punch kind, very hao lian ya ya papaya.
She is lucky enough to give up her nationality and change to americans orelse she will bring a shame to other singaporeans. I think even most singaporean wont justify her doing. She suit for americans title bcs americans allows bullying and vulgor behaviour bcs they have this "America is a free country" slogan which allows them to do what all they wanted to do including free speech like this which most likely seems like a public bullying on certain ppl.
@@Xyzien she is nothing but a bully. dare to joke about Black lives movement? say F U Neegar....and such, trash them? wel'll see how well black american take the jokes.
I liked before I watched the video!!!
The biggest issue was how obvious it was full of hatred. She said it as if she's happy about the disaster.
While i do think it’s the mean spiritedness and the bad timing bad which i totally agree on… i think the clearest reason why her joke sucks was because… OF HER ANNOYING VOICE. Thats it.
If i were singaporean it's not about freedom of comedy it' about how tiny cute my country is and i love living in it
I don't understand someone(public figure/comedian) tried to endanger his/her own country....even s.korea apologized for a single racist citizen, they remember they are small country circled by n.korea, russia, china, japan and SEA
What done is done, singapore and malaysia has seperated long years ago why bring it up again?
Im not malaysian nor singaporean, SEA brother
I okeh when she said malaysia left sg, we are doing bad and still develop country bc tht right what. But when it come to tragedy of someone i just cant take it as a joke not just MH370 any tragedy or even wars and stuff
Singapore and Malaysia ‘s military are on high alert. Soldiers were deployed at the bridge of the causeway. They were ordered to watch over any possible hostile activities.
A Singaporean soldier got bored with his guard duty. He decided to strike a conversation with the Malaysian soldier across the bridge.
They could see each other, but the distance was a little too far to talk.
The Singapore soldier decided to use hand gestures to communicate.
He started moving his arms in a plane gliding manner. [Asking if the Malaysian soldier was from the Air Force]
No response.
He then moves both his arms mimicking freestyle swimming strokes. [Asking if the other soldier was from the Navy]
No response.
He then uses his right open palm to repeatedly strike his left closed fist, depicting bombing. [Are you from Artillery?]
No response.
He turns sideways and pointed at his own lower back. [Asking if the Malaysian soldier was a Backup or Reserve unit]
No response.
He closes both his fists, place them in front of his eyes. As though using a binocular. [Are you on Lookout in the Observation post?]
Finally, the Malaysian soldier reacted. He ran towards his commander’s tent and reported to his officer.
“Sir, the Singapore soldier from opposite the island said that...” He paused to catch his breath.
“When Night falls, he is going to Swim over and Fuck Your Ass till your Eyes Popped Out.”
Lmao
As a singaporean I would be guessing this be equivalent about joking of Singapore flight 006. The SIA flight that crashed in Taiwan long ago
Different. SIA 006 crashed, casualties and survivors, all found. Family members can at least have closure.
Nice video.
I think a good comedy can be seen delivered through uncle roger, despite the mockery you can feel that all the words that comes out are purely joke and harmless. I re-watched it again to consider whether it is a big issue or not but from the tone and all it sounds like something personal.
idk why people being so butthurt over a joke, I actually think we deserved it and it's probably more about Malaysia being behind rather than the plane itself. But I don't condone her cursing my country lol
How to proof whether this is a good joke as she claims, book a hall in Malaysia and present it to hall full of Malaysian. Simple right?
And lets see if it's still funny when the victim's family buy the ticket lmao
regarding 2:37 that part in next month July Malaysia and Singapore would have a meeting where discussing about JB become a special economy zone similar to shen zhen.
18:00 No, Malaysia nasi Lemak >> Singapore. Proof me wrong by telling me where is the best nasi lemak in Singapore.
Macik cook one
I think it is rather insensitive given that the disappearance is still fresh.
Malaysian is ok with this…
"We can skin a cat in many ways. To skin Singapore, there is not just one method." ~ Dr Mahathir
But not ok with a comedian…
Bad taste to joke with MH370… how about capitalising on MH370 to stir shit? 😂
Go find MH370 to give a proper closure. Those who are genuinely upset by it because of MH370 should petition and get MY to find it!
I support her, if she is ex indonesian or thai malaysian won't dare to do anything to her
Don't be so self-centred girl. It's not abt nationality. U just cant seem to understand the context
you definitely do not understand what Law means, go get yourself damn educated
Come on la bro not every malaysia will feel very offended you know y because their love ones was not in the plane bro simply logic to ppl who say that malaysian overreacting just imagine me making a joke of your family member death and let us know isit a joke or it hurts you
There is a Comedian who joke about the Comfort Women in Korea during World War 2...he said something like these women are lucky because they get to sleep with young muscular soldiers who are often virgin...but nobody get offended...so it may be true that time plus tragedy = joke
Objectively she is a bad comedian. Her joke didnt land at all.
The interpol probably thinks the msian police has a better sense of humour than Jocelyn Chia. 😆
Malaysian and Singaporean are bro & sis....
Malaysia has not done enough To solve the mystery and are guilt sensitive about it..
Someone in the government knows something but won't share it with families of the victims. Attacking a comedian is really consciousness of guilt on the part of the government/airlines. My personal guess, the Airlines had pre knowledge this pilot could go rogue/ dangerous.
😢
i definitely liked before i watched the video 😆
Frankly, i think the bad vibes from Jocelyn Chia probably came from Malaysian's ex-PM Mahatir who threatened to cut water supply to Singapore on several occasions with many Malaysians echoing his sentiment with shouts of "potong!", "potong!" (meaning cut in Malay) at political rallies. Not forgetting in 2018 errant Malaysian vessals deliberately stayed in Singapore waters in blatant provocation and disrespect. How many times have Malaysia politicians bullied Singapore over the years with the majority of Malaysians gleefully backing them? To me, the profanities directed at Malaysians are not without justification. Singapore is not a punching bag for corrupted and incompetent Malaysian politicians who are only capable of garnering political support by making Singapore the bogeyman by flaming feelings of insecurity and immense jealously! Let this be a wake up call for all Malaysians! Show respect and don't support your political leaders who don't. Btw, Malaysian Uncle Roger called Singapore a country like North Korea but with money! I will argue that this is a lot more offensive than the comments made by Jocelyn Chia. And no Malaysians called him out??? How about his jokes offending China that got him cancelled? I don't see Malaysian influencers making videos rebuking him. Are Malaysians hypocritical, over sensitive, touchy and constantly employing double standards? Well, based on my observations, it definitely seemed to be the case and i really hope i am wrong! 😢😢😢 P/S: Seriously, until today Malaysia still owes the world an answer over what happened to MH370 and we need a comedian to remind us? Will the Malaysian government stop covering up? Planes don't just go missing... the victims deserve closure!😭😭😭
Well said
Spot on!
Bro,what u said is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT (100%) CORRECT.It's the whole truth,nothing but the truth.Those shit in M'sia hv no idea how to make M'sia a 1st world country,only "pandai curi duit negara",talk nonsense including religious nonsense (read, "satanic/demonic shit) and always blame S'pore for everything.
This is a bit too one sided. There's shade thrown by both sides of the causeway ever since the separation of Singapore and Malaysia. Sure it may lean more towards one side or the other but we've also heard Singaporeans constantly voice that Malaysia is dirty, unsafe, poor, less educated etc etc. Just yesterday, there were two Singaporeans arrested in Johor for pissing on a public building or something and there's Singaporeans caught every week filling up Malaysia's subsided ron95 petrol which is only for locals and illegal for foreign cars.
I can easily say Singapore is complacent in destabilizing Malaysia, two of MPs that played a big role in the coup of the government back in 2020 were educated in Singapore and has strong ties to it. Also the 1MDB fiasco, a lot of money was funneled out from Malaysia via Banks in Singapore, I refuse to believe the Singaporean gov and Singapore's world class financial standards didn't know anything about it when it was ongoing for 5 years. There was a lot of chatter that Sg used the info to twist Najib's arm for certain things. Whether that part is true is debatable.
On MH370, I work in aviation and closely with regional aviation adjusters and a majority of them are of the opinion that the circumstances of the tragedy were such a perfect storm for a plane to go missing that there was nothing anyone could have done about it. From the haphazard flight path, exchanging hands to Vietnam airspace, happening in the middle of the night(2am), all transponders going offline and it ending in a route where there's zero radar coverage by any nation. It's either some elaborate tinfoil hat conspiracy or the pilot was mad and pre planned it all.
There is a difference between a joke and an insult, If not Will Smilth will not slap Chris Rock after he feel someone insult him. Somemore dont be too ego when u are in public speaking. Now she know how power of the internet is until she hiding like a dog. Wrong is wrong, just come out and apologize. Ya, she is famous now but famous in a negative way. Boooo👎
Saga aside, ngl found her voice kind of grating. Feel bad for thinking that way but when amplified by the mic and all…hmm ._. It’s the pitch, i think, but it’s probably fine when she’s not trying to project her voice/getting agitated (to suit the joke)?
Malaysian here. To me, it's the tone of her voice and the facial expression also. Seems like she had a seething anger rooted inside of her. Some of us think that her ex must've been a Malaysian dude. Btw, our nasi lemak is better, just saying 😂. Peace ya'll. First time viewer here.
FYI its not a joke at all. It more look like hatred harming. You all still young to see the consequences.
Proverbs:
If Fire never reach your own skin, your won't feel pain.
On her level or many others who never experience hard life, yet to reach a level on empathy (stand in other shoe to feel) and definately w'ont have sympathy.
Malaysian Government is not overaeact. It is a protection of the nation. Think. You never stop a small fire, a heat surrounding will get fire big.
its her face la.
Joke is joke and after all joke is meant to make people laugh, right? If involving loved ones who had disappeared with no closure for some members of family which I believe, then it's not right. Esp when people who are sensitive these days, it's best not too go overboard. If given a choice, this comedian should just say sorry, apologize and say there was never any intention to make fun and so on. Most people are forgiving when they know you apologize with sincerity.
best singaporean nasi lemak is in jb
Not offended by Jocelyn Chia, but offended by SG nasi lemak is better :/
shes not funny. not worth even being pissed at her. she shiok-sendiri
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
