PETALING JAYA: The Royal Malaysia Police are seeking Interpol's assistance to track down comedian Jocelyn Chia, says Tan Sri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani.
The Inspector-General of Police said an application would be filed with Interpol to determine her identity and whereabouts, Bernama reported.
Chia had earlier drawn some backlash after using the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 in her stand-up comedy routine at a comedy club in the United states. She first joked about Malaysia being a developing country that was far behind Singapore, 40 years after the island nation was"dumped" by Malaysia in 1965.
"My country, Singapore, after we gained independence from the British, we were a struggling little nation."When my prime minister went on TV to announce that you guys had dumped us, he cried because he thought we were not going to survive without you."And you guys? Malaysia, what are you now? Still a developing country," she says sarcastically in a video shared on her Instagram account.
