Chia’s ‘joke’ no laughing matter


PETALING JAYA: Singapore-born stand-up comedian Jocelyn Chia (pic) has landed herself in hot water with top diplomats, artistes and the public slamming her for her “distasteful” joke about MH370 at a club in New York.

Singapore High Commissioner to Malaysia Vanu Gopala Menon described Chia’s remarks as “gratuitously offensive comments” and said his government did not condone words or actions that cause harm or hurt to others.
