Laser

If we were to ask you if you&rsquo;ve ever bought yourself a laser pen, you&rsquo;ll likely admit that yes, you have owned one at one point in your life. Whether it's for playing with your cats or just owning one for the fun of it.
<img src="https://media.tenor.com/DqP5EpidFJgAAAAC/funny-animals-cats.gif" />
Though it is fun to point around a red or green laser light around, we have to remember that these lasers can cause more harm than good to others around us. These laser lights are normally high-powered and if you were to point it at an animal or even a human eye, the powerful light will penetrate and cause severe permanent vision loss if exposed too long to it.
Pilot Warns Malaysians About Using Lasers
If it wasn&rsquo;t obvious enough, one of the riskiest jobs out there is to become a pilot as not only you&rsquo;re flying a multi-million-ringgit aircraft in the sky but you&rsquo;re also handling the lives of hundreds of people on board.
Recently, a pilot who goes by MrTurboProp <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@mrturboprop">(@MrTurboProp</a>) on TikTok shared a warning to fellow Malaysians about playing and pointing lasers in the night sky after he spotted a green laser in the sky during one of his flights at night.

The pilot was at cruising altitude over an area near Taman Elmina in Subang during his approach towards the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport as he spotted green laser lights in the sky. He clarified that during the night, the plane will dim the lights inside the cockpit in order to get their eyes accustomed to seeing in the dark.
&ldquo;If you aim the laser right in our eye, it will cause a glare. It can harm the safety of the plane. If it&rsquo;s a high-powered laser, we&rsquo;ll immediately be blinded,&rdquo; said the pilot.
Netizens Storm The Comments 
At the time of writing, the video has gained 2.3 million views, 97K likes and over 2.2K comments. Many of the netizens expressed their concern about lasers being pointed at pilots. Aside from that, there are also comments stating that whoever was using the laser was just testing it out.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/77c00402153aba64d69b85faa4bc11f67fe3477b0bc4b55d1392a2539cc64a0e" />
Though it's always a breath of fresh air to see a joke or two in the comments section, we still have to take into consideration how serious the matter can be as these lasers will distract the pilots during their take-off and landing phase of the journey which is noted as the most crucial part of the journey. 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/93d00768b0f474a7ba7fb29f0afa6898cfe9b2e89a4a169a8437a1fe742ff65f" />
Yeah&hellip; we don&rsquo;t think anyone wants to be in a situation where the pilot can&rsquo;t see a thing out his window when a laser is pointed towards the plane&rsquo;s cockpit.

Yeah… pointing a laser to an aircraft isn’t a very bright idea.

Malaysian Pilot's Stark Warning Against Laser Misuse In The Night Sky

Looks like controversial comedian Jocelyn Chia is back online as she&rsquo;s gained access to her Instagram account again.
Yesterday, we stated that her social media pages have been blacked out as it was rumoured that she had been banned from them. While she wasn&rsquo;t online, many including Harith Iskander and the wife of one of the victims on board have voiced out their opinions about her comedic act of insulting the MH370 tragedy. Even the Singapore High Commissioner To Malaysia issued an apology on social media due to her insensitive joke.

Dismisses Suspension For Being &ldquo;Cancelled&rdquo;
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/f120fa5aceca3a52d46b31530016c5a48a4fa6b794f2628f6d0e83bc612cc005" />
The first thing Chia did when she got her account back was to post up an Instagram story as she addressed the rumours of her account being blacked out. &ldquo;Rumour had it that I either deleted my Instagram or that I got &lsquo;cancelled&rsquo; by Instagram. My account actually got suspended for &lsquo;impersonating&rsquo; a celebrity.&rdquo;
&ldquo;I was like, &lsquo;who is the celebrity? Answer: Jocelyn Chia,&rdquo; while adding Famous by Kanye West for her story audio of choice (another cancelled celebrity).
Thanks The Community For Their Support Towards Her
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/539b8c3cf4e719f4fbe99f5d4600949e0a8e0c948a8ba1bdeacffea49ce7d3eb" />
Aside from addressing the rumours on her social media, Chia also took the opportunity to thank the comedy community who supported her despite the backlash she was facing. One of them was Malaysian comedian Jason Leong who was also bashed by other Malaysians after he showed support for her act.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/fde499788bde41a71eea8de779e018f46e0de7de102d2a9b44641b045fd7c6db" />
Following the story, she took a hit at her &ldquo;exes&rdquo; which many presume to be angry Malaysians and joked by using Taylor Swift&rsquo;s &lsquo;We Are Never Getting Back Together&rsquo; as her song choice. To put an end to her post, she also thanked the non-binary comedians and joked that she would &ldquo;really get cancelled&rdquo; if she hasn&rsquo;t done so.
No Public Apology In Sight
After all the hate posts of her online, Chia has yet to post a public apology as the former Singaporean does not look like she has any remorse. Since then, Singapore&rsquo;s Minister for Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan has also issued an apology after replying to Syed Saddiq on Twitter.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I am appalled by her horrendous statements. She certainly does not speak for Singaporeans. We treasure our ties with family and friends in Malaysia, and are sorry for the offence and hurt caused to all Malaysians.
&mdash; Vivian Balakrishnan (@VivianBala) <a href="https://twitter.com/VivianBala/status/1666487826022817792?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 7, 2023</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

A reminder to everyone that there&rsquo;s always a limit when it comes to jokes and we should respect all the boundaries set so we wouldn&rsquo;t offend anyone and a whole country who went through a disaster. 
Do you think that society will start cancelling out Chia or maybe karma will bite her back soon enough? Let us know in the comments.

Rather than her apologising, officials from Singapore had to do so instead.

Jocelyn Chia Is Back On IG, Denies Being “Cancelled” And Has Yet To Apologise For Her Joke

Having a family go missing is one of the most concerning things anyone could ever face. But the worse part of it all is knowing that they are still alive but forced to work as piglets (someone of low financial and social status into indentured servitude).
Recently, 22-year-old beautician Angie Chong Sum Yee went on a trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand alone and had since gone missing.

The last time her family had heard from her was on 1 June when she sent photos of her travelling towards the northernmost district Mae Sai in the Chang Rai province which has a history of human trafficking cases in the past.
After her mother had put up a post on Facebook to get assistance from the public, the Malaysian embassy in Thailand has been working closely with authorities to locate her. She was last seen leaving a location on a motorcycle with a woman dressed in white.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/04eaf4c9a92bae1615dbeda0c5d35bea5e6174c00f7cc5af91dc508f20a4c702" />
Video Of Angie Suddenly Appears On Facebook
In the days she was missing, her WeChat status had been updated stating she is safe and her location had also changed. This time, three suspicious videos of her were uploaded on Facebook by a new Facebook account that went by the name &ldquo;Moe Aye&rdquo;.
Now, here&rsquo;s the suspicious part, of the three videos uploaded, two of them were taken by a camera that filmed a phone playing a video of Angie.
As the videos are being reposted and shared everywhere, many netizens pointed out that Angie looks rather unnatural in the video as if she was forced to film it.
<video style="width: 650px; height: 325px;" controls="controls" width="650" height="325">
<source src="https://r2.myc.my/6f7804c3cee4de24a6a97ff974a2a7b875c17200768c8c7f332256b373c864d6" /></video>
In the 34-second video, she said: &ldquo;Hello, hello. Actually, I am fine. I am very safe and healthy. I didn&rsquo;t get assaulted. So, my friends, family, and netizen, those who I don&rsquo;t know, please don&rsquo;t worry about me. I am very healthy.&rdquo;
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F100091509889399%2Fvideos%2F593627862577111%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=214&amp;t=0" width="214" height="476" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
In another 22-second video, it's seen that she was working at an undisclosed location.
&ldquo;I am working here now and I am safe. Please don&rsquo;t worry about me. I am extremely safe here. So police, please don&rsquo;t trouble the rider who gave me a ride. They don&rsquo;t know anything.&rdquo;
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0eeed938e706b5c2a01590ffb89d006c6a796b9e2562fbd7e4c39377899e2b83" />
What was even more suspicious was that Angie&rsquo;s Instagram account has also posted &ldquo;updates&rdquo; stating that she is okay and has contacted her family. She also stated that all the videos seen on Facebook and websites about her were real.
No Rest Till She&rsquo;s Back Safely
Despite all the circulating videos, Angie&rsquo;s mother Chee Choy Wen said on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/choywon0914/posts/pfbid0uQ9uwTWiLwGgvGwHUZ3AcfhcbnvXnG15iUMJMSKf7rXSXD1hdX2TqwLjFsvMahBCl">Facebook</a> that she will get to the bottom of this and told the members of the public not to trust the videos posted online as she has not seen her in person nor heard from her yet.
Hopefully, authorities will be able to track her down soon enough. A reminder that human trafficking is not a joke and despite all efforts, it&rsquo;s still difficult for authorities to locate the hundreds if not thousands of others who have also gone missing over the years.
If you&rsquo;re looking for a job, do seek caution when enquiring online especially if its offer is too good to be true.

Missing Malaysian Woman In Thailand Breaks Silence Online Stating She’s “Safe” 

In Malaysia, amidst the various aspects of healthcare available, there is one crucial aspect that often goes overlooked by many Malaysians: Dental Care.
Dental care encompasses oral hygiene practices that involve taking care of our teeth. Neglecting proper dental care can lead to a multitude of issues, including cavities, gum diseases, and the universally undesirable problem of bad breath.
<img src="https://media.tenor.com/Iue51AfpKx0AAAAM/bad-breath.gif" />
Unfortunately, dental care is rather expensive in Malaysia as sometimes a typical cavity filling costs between RM100-RM150 and scaling between RM150-RM200. Perhaps this is the reason why many Malaysians don&rsquo;t take their dental care seriously, but what if we told you that you can actually get it for cheap?
Scaling For Only RM3!
No, you&rsquo;re not reading this wrongly as dental care can actually be very affordable in Malaysia! Recently, Twitter user Alena <a href="https://twitter.com/alenawhz/status/1666273906184056833">@alenawhz</a> shared that dental care in Malaysia is in fact reasonable as she scheduled a dental appointment for a total of RM3. All you need to do is to make an appointment via the MySejahtera app!
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Scaling for RM3: Here's how I got it done in 30 minutes using the MySejahtera app! <a href="https://twitter.com/KKMPutrajaya?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@KKMPutrajaya</a> This is a 🧵✨ <a href="https://t.co/lrfgo0K1vb">pic.twitter.com/lrfgo0K1vb</a>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Before we get into how you can do this, a reminder that the MySejahtera App is now an app used by the Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia as a universal healthcare app where Malaysians can track their health records from health reports, lab test reports and even vaccinations.&nbsp;
How To Make A Booking?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7f3bee0fc7adbce7612ff72bfebafa18245e48e9ab538336ad8f6627b0d25acf" />
When you open up MySejahtera, you&rsquo;ll see a set of options and you can make an appointment by tapping the appointment icon. From there, scroll down and tap on the dental check-up. Following that, you&rsquo;ll need to input your postcode and the app will list the available appointments and the nearest dates.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
Once you've gotten your appointment, make sure to arrive 30 minutes before your appt time! I got to mine at 9.00am sharp. I headed to the counter to check in (using MySejahtera), got my queue number, paid RM1, got my BP checked and waited for my turn. <a href="https://t.co/vubqseLmvA">pic.twitter.com/vubqseLmvA</a>
&mdash; Alena (@alenawhz) <a href="https://twitter.com/alenawhz/status/1666273949678981120?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 7, 2023</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

If you&rsquo;re looking to get a specific time slot, Alena says that the best time to book appointments is at 12am or early morning as it seems that they refresh their appointment times during those hours. After securing your appointment, it&rsquo;s also best for you to show up 30 minutes earlier as you&rsquo;ll be prompted to check in using MySejahtera, obtain your queue number and get your blood pressure checked for only RM1.
After about 15 minutes, Alena was called to meet the dentist. She had a talk with her doctor addressing her concerns and stating which treatment she would like to get. She opted to have a general check-up and scaling. The highlight of the treatment was that it was all done within 10 minutes and she was in and out of the clinic within 30 minutes.
One thing she noted is that the doctor said she was lucky as there weren&rsquo;t a lot of patients that morning and the waiting and treatment time could have taken longer if there were a lot of people at the clinic that day.
Netizens Amazed At MySejahtera&rsquo;s Service
As the tweet gained over 8.2K Retweets and 8.9K likes on Twitter, many netizens had thanked Alena for sharing her experience and it looks like many netizens have also wanted to get their appointment booked for their check-up.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
Thanks Alena. Last time i went to KK they said no more appointments.. can walk in only. But those who working a bit difficult to go without appointments so this the best solution 👍

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
In my understanding, you can get braces done if the dentist at klinik pergigian deems that you need it. There might be a long queue up to years! But it's always a fraction of the price when compared to private clinics

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Hiiii! It was my first time as well and honestly, it was not that painful. When at the gum area, it was more annoying but when it reached several teeth that are sensitive, it hurts quite a bit. But overall, it's not toooo bad for me!

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Some netizens commented that most clinics do not update the schedule and some clinics will prompt you to physically walk in for an appointment. Others also commented that if you can&rsquo;t find an appointment after imputing a postcode, you can also try searching by city name or state.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
Apparently tak semua klinik updated. 😔

Now that&rsquo;s pretty efficient and cost-effective! Despite what people say about our government, you have to give it to them for doing their best to provide affordable dental care to the public. 
PSA, before proceeding to go for any dental care, do remember that there have been issues of fake dentists who offer cheap and potentially harmful dental services.

Dental Care Too Expensive? Get Your Teeth Scaled For Only RM3 Via MySejahtera!

For those who love binge-watching a series, you may know that lately, Disney+ has been on a roll as they have been releasing many different Star Wars series and, in all honesty, they have been way better than the movies they produced, more specifically Episode 7 till 9 of the Skywalker Saga.
This time around, Disney+ has set a primer date for the highly anticipated series, Star Wars Ahsoka as it will be releasing this August 23.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/J7-zia4oHuk" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The upcoming series serves as a spin-off from The Mandalorian series. If you&rsquo;re new to the Star Wars franchise, the show takes place along the same timeline as The Mandalorian and as a pseudo-sequel to Star Wars: Rebels. Unlike the many characters we&rsquo;ve seen in the previous Star Wars series, Ahsoka is a character that goes way back to the prequels as she first appeared in Star Wars: Clone Wars cartoon before her story was continued in Star Wars: Rebels.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/9ce34b4a8c32342632ebf836eaead359c2852a96c90cd5c01123bfa6ce0fc80a" /> Ahsoka during Clone Wars
Her character was one of the most talked about characters out there as in previous iterations of the shows, we only saw an animated version of her until she appeared in Season 2 of The Mandalorian and the first season of The Book of Boba Fett.
Who Are The New Characters?
Now, since Ahsoka isn&rsquo;t a character like Din Djarin or Boba Fett who&rsquo;s covered in armour almost the majority of the time, she&rsquo;s one of the more unique characters in the franchise. In fact, Ahsoka will feature many characters who will be appearing in the live-action for the first time.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/aacd6d2f42ecc93818cd4f89e0716bd4d9cb02a68bcc59494e0d8c623e747cf8" /> (From Left:) Rosario Dawson, Natasha Lui Bordizzo, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Eman Esfandi
Ahsoka Tano will be played by Rosario Dawson who started in Marvel&rsquo;s Daredevil (2015-2017). Aside form that, the series will also be featuring stars such as Natashia Lui Bordizzo who plays Sabine Wren, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla, and Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger.&nbsp;
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ce16875543040c021193e0fc8338d17482076c10fe509d8f33316f0bdb6f44af" />
This time around, we&rsquo;ll also be seeing the debut of the franchise&rsquo;s notorious villain Grand Admiral Thrawn who is played by Lars Mikkelsen.
Do You Need To Watch Other Series To Understand Ahsoka?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2ed29a5e2dc7b445090334d484ce13baa9deb597b542dc87b26578f57391ef6a" />
Back during the Star Wars Celebration, executive producers Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau talked a bit about the series. Fans wondered if they needed to watch The Mandalorian Season 3 before heading into Ahsoka but Filoni revealed that fans can watch and enjoy them on their own. In fact, fans wouldn&rsquo;t even need to turn back to the old Clone Wars cartoon to understand her character.
Since the latest trailer only revealed the release date, you can check out their longer trailer which was released 2 months ago alongside more extras that we can expect this August 23.

Is The Arrival Of The Series Bad For Other Disney+ Series?

For those who may not know, Disney typically releases an episode every Wednesday on their platform as seen from other Star Wars series in the past. As the first episode is set to air on August 23, we will see a clash in the premier of another series.
Aksoka is set to have 8 episodes and the penultimate episode of Season 1 is set to arrive on 4 October, two days before the premiere of Loki Season 2 and the finale will be airing between the first and second episodes of Loki on October 11.
Though this does not mean much to some who just enjoy watching a good series as they unwind from their busy day, this could be an issue for some as there&rsquo;s a gap between the end of the Marvel series Secret Invasion (premiering in June) and the premier of Ahsoka.
We all know the pain of juggling different shows at once&hellip;
But despite the clash in episode releases, we are sure fans wouldn&rsquo;t mind binging extra shows in between and that Ahsoka will certainly be fun to watch. Hopefully, it can give us the experience that Andor gave us if not better.

While fans are excited, the series may also overlap with Loki Season 2.

Star Wars: Ahsoka Set To Premier This 23 August On Disney+!

We all know Malaysia as a land blessed with good food. No matter if you&rsquo;re up north, south, east or west in peninsular Malaysia or all the way in Sabah or Sarawak you&rsquo;re bound to find good food or even hidden gems across the country.
But there&rsquo;s been a debate on what food can be considered as our national dish since we have too many.
Debate If Bak Kuh Teh Should Be A Heritage Food
Jimmy Puah Wee Tse who is a member of parliament representing Teberau recently questioned the government&rsquo;s efforts in defending Malaysian traditional dishes such as Bak Kut Teh after a documentary on Channel News Asia claimed that the dish could have originated in Singapore.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/504e187ff7638fbb962a87c1dcf766495690952491f10524c361280c3a2e2ec7" />
In case you don&rsquo;t know what is this dish, it&rsquo;s a popular pork rib soup that is cooked with herbs and spices. It&rsquo;s a very popular dish among the Hokkien community in Southeast Asia and a very popular dish for those who live in Klang, Selangor.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
2. Khairul explained that foods can only be considered a heritage dish if they can be consumed by all races in Malaysia. Earlier, Tebrau MP Jimmy Puah urged the government to recognise the dish as a national heritage food <a href="https://t.co/8mfJ8s2xJg">pic.twitter.com/8mfJ8s2xJg</a>
&mdash; BFM News (@NewsBFM) <a href="https://twitter.com/NewsBFM/status/1666340534078824449?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 7, 2023</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Puah debated that the dish had originated from Klang, Selangor but said the documentary gave the impression that it originated from Singapore when addressing the Dewan Rakyat.
Other MPs Respond With Facts Of Top Traditional Food In Malaysia
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6ca880c73a8e7880581558757755caad2e13e727e7c3e4d7f31e42bb81a6f7cf" />
In response to Puah, Datuk Suhaimi Mohd Abdullah questioned the Dewan Rakyat since when was Bak Kuh Teh was considered a traditional dish.
"It is not listed as one of Malaysia's 10 most popular traditional foods, nor is it listed as one of the 30 traditional foods of various ethnicities in Malaysia," he added.
Such foods in our list of traditional dishes are like nasi lemak, kuih bahulu, gula melaka, ketupat, char kuey teow, sizzling yee mee, bubur nasi, tong yuan, kuih bulan, kuih bakul, muruku, tosai, idly, and putu mayam.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2924fc49d21741c5ade72963871a39ee7d29075025eb08e05b9559c610d8f361" />
Deputy Minister Khairul Firdaus Akbar Khan contested that Malaysia does not have the right to dispute the shared heritages that Malaysia and Singapore. However, he is not against the fact that it could be added to the list of our heritage foods.
Khairul Firdaus says that if the meat in Bak Kuh Teh can be substituted with chicken (Chi Kuh The), then there shouldn&rsquo;t be a problem as both he and Suhaimi agreed that one of the key criteria of a dish to be considered as a traditional food is so all races in the country would be able to savour it.
Netizens Share Their Thoughts On The Parliament Debate
As food is certainly something every Malaysian would swear by, they also believe that the Dewan Rakyat should have better things to discuss as there are more pressing issues going on. Some even supported and questioned if it would be wrong to add food of other Malaysian races to the ever-growing list of our country&rsquo;s heritage food.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:

Following the lively debate in the Dewan Rakyat, it has become evident that there exist certain discrepancies in our nation's culinary heritage. However, we can find solace in the fact that the discussion did not escalate into a heated dispute within the chamber. 
What is your stance on the importance of safeguarding Malaysia's food heritage, and do you believe our government should undertake greater efforts in this regard?

Debate: Is Bak Kuh Teh A Heritage Dish In Malaysia? 

Yesterday, the internet was buzzing about Singaporean comedian Jocelyn Chia after her insensitive joke about MH370 went viral all over social media.
Read: <a href="https://myc.my/articles/2537/sporean-comedian-faces-backlash-for-insensitive-mh370-joke-and-mockery-of-malaysia">S&rsquo;porean Comedian Faces Backlash For Insensitive MH370 Joke And Mockery Of Malaysia</a>
As the clip gained millions of views across social media platforms, local comedian Harith Iskander and the Singapore High Commissioner To Malaysia both shared their views on the video.
As we all know, comedy is an art form but its something that the jokester will need to be careful of as what they say can really deem if they get cancelled by society.
Harith Iskander Shares His Perspective
At the time, Harith says he was late to the party as he&rsquo;s currently overseas and he felt compelled to share his perspective on the joke online as the MH370 tragedy is truly a traumatic experience for Malaysians and many others. Harith also highlighted that comedians need to exercise caution when touching on personal and tragic topics.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
My response to Jocelyn Chia's clip which has riled up Malaysians <a href="https://t.co/dbP1GBz1As">pic.twitter.com/dbP1GBz1As</a>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&ldquo;As a comedian, I respect the freedom of expression that we comedians require to do our job. But it is equally important to exercise some level of sensitivity and empathy especially topics that is personal and tragic,&rdquo; said Harith in his video.
Aside from that, Harith also emphasizes that comedians need to be crucial in finding the balance between comedy, sensitivity and empathy. It's also the job of the comedians to make people laugh but also quote Uncle Ben&rsquo;s famous line in Spider-Man, &ldquo;With great power comes great responsibility&rdquo;.
Comedians must recognize that comedy is subjective as some jokes may be funny to some and others may not entirely like it. Even he admits that he makes fun of Singapore all the time but he only takes it as part of friendly banter that allows them to coexist &ldquo;like competitive cousins&rdquo;.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a268f3f1d7dd4afefa07c9e3cc6ebbdac4a9220f55f9654e41d7d2b1f083e19c" />
Before ending his video, Harith had indirectly roasted Chia at the end of his video in the most harmful manner which certainly was the icing on the cake to end his perspective of the joke.
&ldquo;Malaysia, we may be a developing nation, but when it comes to KINDNESS and THOUGHTFULNESS, we are definitely first world, don&rsquo;t know about other countries though wink wink. It&rsquo;s a joke.&rdquo;
Singapore High Commissioner To Malaysia Apologises For The Incident
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/23e9981f84e5e47cfe3eca68161aeaedda869a0b3286fc8069d2ac1eb309bd11" />
Meanwhile, after the video blew up, Vanu Gopala Menon who is the Singapore High Commissioner To Malaysia issued a statement on their Facebook page about Chia&rsquo;s stand-up routine. &nbsp;
&ldquo;I am appalled by the gratuitously offensive comments made by stand-up performer Jocelyn Chia. The Singapore Government does not condone words or actions that cause harm or hurt to others and Chia, who is no longer Singaporean, does not in any way reflect our views. I sincerely apologise to all Malaysians for her hurtful remarks.
As our closest neighbour, Singapore and Malaysia enjoy a strong and multi-faceted relationship, with deep and cross-cutting ties. We also have unique historical and close people-to-people ties. Comments such as those made by Chia are unhelpful and undermine the close trust and friendship that both our countries and peoples enjoy.&rdquo;

To add to the anger, Intan Maizura Othman whose husband Mohd Hazrin Mohamed Hasnan was onboard the tragic flight had also voiced out and criticized her for being insensitive towards victims.
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fintanmaizura80%2Fvideos%2F654594276003138%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=267&amp;t=0" width="267" height="476" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
&ldquo;No matter how evil you are, you don&rsquo;t mention MH370 or make fun of it, you know? My son, Mohammad, is still crying until today over his lost papa and here you are having the audacity to make fun of MH370,&rdquo; she said.
Jocelyn Chia Goes Black On Social Media
&nbsp;Yesterday when visiting her social media pages, Chia had initially limited her page from receiving comments on her page after netizens had bombarded her with criticism. She even responded to some comments stating that Malaysians &ldquo;don&rsquo;t understand humour&rdquo;.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/05d9aa58d1dc7e1dba72d245d31daa55793a904c6ea3490bf084ee0b4be4b4ca" />
Checking back today, it seems like her official Facebook, Instagram and Twitter page has gone dark with the exception of her <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@jocelynchiacomedy?lang=en">TikTok</a> page and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@JocelynChiaComedy">YouTube</a> Channel still active. At the time of writing, Chia still had the offensive video uploaded on her TikTok but has since been taken down.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/20e7f860d1c65a08f91450d0444ecdb5c40538f6f30447769052daf99d276285" />
As of now, it&rsquo;s not known if Chia herself had taken her own page down till the controversy dies down or if her page has been officially banned by the respective social media pages.
Well, it looks like the cancel culture is now stepping in and it seems that Chia can&rsquo;t handle the pressure as she&rsquo;s being the talk of the town. 
What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments.

Since the offensive joke went viral, Chia’s social media pages have now gone black.

Harith Iskander Responds & Singapore's High Commissioner Apologizes For Jocelyn Chia's MH370 Joke

Having 20-20 vision is a dream many would love to have as we get to see everything crystal clear and won&rsquo;t need to spend money on contact lenses or glasses.
Unfortunately, that&rsquo;s not the case and many of us Malaysians neglect eye health and we end up having to spend hundreds or even thousands just to get perfect vision. Sometimes, even LASIK eye surgery is costly and if performed wrongly, we lose our eyesight.
Introducing The Payung Rahmah Initiative
<img src="https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExYzg4MTNjYjQ3MWJlODQ0YTk3ZDVjY2MwNDBjMDM3ZWE1ZmZkODFmYiZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZzX2dpZklkJmN0PWc/L2U7TuzO8yKtMAzkCN/giphy.gif" alt="Glasses Busby GIF by TLC" />
With the Anwar administration in full swing, the introduction of the Payung Rahmah initiative brings a sigh of relief to low-income households burdened by financial constraints. This innovative program aims to alleviate their worries by providing affordable eyewear through a brand-new glasses package, ensuring accessibility to vision care for all.
Malaysians are now presented with a golden chance to acquire eyeglasses at remarkably affordable rates, with prices starting as low as RM50. These budget-friendly options are made available at 96 Metro Optical Group (MOG) Eyewear outlets across the country, commencing from the 10th of June.
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FSalahuddin.Bin.Ayub%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0zsdNKNtTGrWedvMB4F2V44GgYCMQ9EUvRReZGrLGj1bu4Sonwtv7jegYCGXB69bol&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="792" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The initiative was announced by Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister, Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub as they highlighted their collaboration with MOG Eyewear who will be helping the government to facilitate the initiative.
Affordable Glasses For Everyone!
With Payung Rahmah, Malaysians can now obtain glasses without concerns about compromising quality or breaking the bank, as the eyewear is priced between RM50 and RM100.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/35b83ccd456051dd7bd15be9cfe552627b84e04afc253371932ec6fe6306d1c5" />
&ldquo;For an additional RM100, individuals can choose to upgrade their lenses to &lsquo;blue cut lenses&rsquo; with ultraviolet protection,&rdquo; said Salahuddin Ayub.
Additionally, the minister also emphasized that there are more plans to introduce attractive offers under the Payung Rahmah initiative as they seek to cater to the needs of Malaysians.
For those wanting to get a new pair of glasses at an affordable price, the initiative will kick start from 10 June onwards at all 96 MOG Eyewear branches nationwide.
As the Payung Rahmah initiative extends its reach, Malaysians can now benefit from substantial cost savings while prioritizing their visual health. This expansion reflects the government's commitment to fostering an inclusive and cost-effective environment for everyone.
