PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim says he offered comedian Trevor Noah some guidance on topics he could joke about during his Kuala Lumpur show.

Sharing photos of his meeting with Noah on Tuesday (Nov 10), Anwar said they had the chance to talk about politics, humour and a variety of other topics, with plenty of laughs along the way.

“It was a pleasure to welcome Trevor Noah today. I also managed to share a few tips on material that might be suitable for tonight's performance. Hopefully no one takes offence!

“In any case, don't worry, Trevor. If anything happens tonight, we'll all chip in and crowdfund together!” he said in his social media post on Nov 10.

Anwar also shared a video from the meeting, which includes a scene of the comedian saying "lawan tetap lawan!".

Noah is currently in Malaysia as part of his Trevor Noah Asia Tour 2026, making his highly anticipated Malaysian debut with a two-night show at Idea LIVE Arena in Kuala Lumpur on Nov 9 and 10.
