Popular UK-based Malaysian comedian Nigel Ng, better known as Uncle Roger, is “Back in Malaysia! (Just in time for lockdown here)” as posted in his Instagram stories earlier this week (which has since expired).
Ng, who also features in Rice To Meet You, a comedy podcast with UK-based comedienne Evelyn Mok, also mentioned his return to Malaysia in a podcast recorded on Jan 7, entitled Don’t Slide Into Nigel’s DMs please!, where he says that he’s returning to “see (his) parents”, and jokingly adds to be a “lockdown refugee”.
