Singapore’s Mediacorp and comedian Najip Ali apologise over offensive segment

PETALING JAYA: Singapore’s Mediacorp Channel 5 and Singaporean comedian Najip Ali have apologised for a comedy segment that poked fun at Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

In a joint statement with Najip on Wednesday, Mediacorp’s chief customer officer Debra Soon admitted that the episode, which aired Wednesday last week, made references to the Prime Minister which were in “poor taste and offensive.”
