PETALING JAYA: The recent stand-up comedy show by Jocelyn Chia in New York was tasteless and insensitive to the tragedy's victims, says MH370 widow Intan Maizura Othaman.
"My son Muhammad is still crying over the loss of his Papa who was a flight attendant on MH370, and here you are making fun of the tragedy," she said in a video posted on her Tiktok page.
Intan Maizura then said that it is much better to have a heart than to be a morally bankrupt person living in a first world country. Chia recently earned the ire of Malaysians after making controversial claims about the country in her stand-up comedy show titled 'Singapore vs Malaysia' in Manhattan, New York.
"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.
