In the past 48 hours, there has been considerable uproar among Malaysians due to the controversial performance by Singaporean stand-up comedian Jocelyn Chia in New York.
Chia’s jokes not only touched on the sensitive and unresolved MH370 tragedy but also included a highly personal and targeted insult towards a Malaysian audience member, who presumably paid to attend the event. Additionally, she ridiculed Malaysia’s status as a developing nation.
The offensive nature of Chia’s jokes was widely condemned, as they were deemed to be disrespectful and derogatory towards others. Consequently, Singapore’s High Commissioner, Vanu Gopala Menon, took the initiative to extend an apology on behalf of the country and clarify that Chia is no longer recognized as a Singaporean citizen.
In response to Chia’s performance, a Malaysian individual known as Dafrosty, who is a passionate fan of freestyle rap and stand-up comedy, decided to unleash 22 scathing insults aimed at Singapore. This was seen as a direct retort to Chia’s controversial act, showcasing how it should be done with wit and skill.
Some of his insults
- Living in Singapore is so expensive, not everyone can afford to be funny
- If Peninsular Malaysia is the p-s of Asia, Singapore is just the tip
- Singapore jokes can land but you’ll have to queue in Malaysian airspace
- Singaporeans think they have big D energy but they only dare to show it off when they come to Malaysia
- If you’ve ever tried cendol or ais kacang in Singapore, you’ll understand why Singaporeans have no taste
- If you’re a singer in Singapore, you can only make it big if you migrate to Malaysia. If you want to go beyond that, then you’ll need to marry a pastor
- Singapore is basically what happens if North Korea didn’t spend all their money on nukes. Police state? Check. Democratic by name? Check. Ruled by one family? Check.
- The best acting performances in one the best selling Singapore movies were by Michelle Yeoh, Henry Golding, and Ronny Chieng
- Half of the GST collection in Singapore goes to pay the water bill for the Merlion. The other half is to prevent corruption by paying their ministers the highest salaries in the world
- I’m sorry if my Singaporean friends are butthurt from these jokes. I did not intend to attack Punggol
- Singapore is super clean because they sweep all their trash under the rug so much, it’s the only way they can afford to build more land
- If Fast & Furious was set in Singapore, it will be a very short film.
- The only time you can exercise your freedom of public assembly in Singapore is during funerals and weddings. Basically just to celebrate the end of your life
- The Malaysian flag has more lanes than Singapore has roads
- What’s the best way to describe freedom of speech in Singapore? When they first opened their Speakers Corner, loudspeakers were prohibited
- Perlis is the smallest state in Malaysia and it’s still bigger than Singapore. There are only 8 people in Perlis, but there’s only 1 smoking corner for every 8000 Singaporeans. During peak hours, the queue for smoke breaks reaches Muar
- I’m sorry I’m reaching too far on that last joke. I promise I’ll stop myself because if I reach any further I’ll be in Seremban
- After infrared cameras were installed to catch smokers inside their homes, the national anthem of Singapore was officially changed to The Police – Every Breath You Take
- The only place you can find a huge crowd for a local artist performance in Singapore is at the Esplanade Outdoor Theatre (coz it’s free)
- If PAS existed in Singapore, it would be bankrupt after one hour due to defamation lawsuits.
- It’s impossible to stop making fun of Singapore. It’s not like driving in Singapore, with a red plate.
- This is all fun but please
1. stop attacking her personally
2. stop making this a racial/political thing
3. stop telling comedians how to do their job, especially the Malaysian ones because they’re busy in parliament today
