As usual Msia made a fool of itself.

Best of all Sg gave Msia the biggest hint to not to fall into this trap by apologizing on behalf of an American, taking the high moral road so that public opinion can turn against Joycelyn.

Yet the whole of Msia had to get riled up and now more and more comedians are going to hurl jokes about Msia.

Tahniah!

If you're Sg you would want to sit back and watch msia melt down and gain as much brownie points internationally as possible. They are a smart lot.

She and her gang definitely want to abuse Msia more!

It is not everyday you hijack the conversation of an entire nation .

Lol costa rica!

Msia is only first world when viewed via Human Development Index.

Even so, shes at near bottom of the table..no 60+ rank

Because people now know the reviews are no reliable I.e. spammed by hate.

The matter is now on many news channels and media.

She is now famous as a controversial figure.

As she herself acknowledged on the new York times, people now want to see her.

For comedians in the US, controversy is sometimes good

Lol. Their institutions are one of the least corrupt in the world. Their banks are the amongst the best at anti money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism in the region and world

I have moved funds over the entire world. Sgs measures are strong.

Sg has recently announced that they will cap their IMF reserve a to a certain % of gdp. So they now keep most of their reserves or transfer extras to their sovereign wealth funds GIC now worth about $usd 700 billion or Temasek now worth $usd500+ billion.

They are beyond rich ok.

Btw, it is interesting to note that the biggest beneficiary of this incident is ... Singapore.

It is really a Master Class on how to handle such situations. It has become clear now.

This is what they did.

After Jocelyns jokes, Sg quickly apologized but at the same time they pointed out that Jocelyn is an American i.e they do not need to apologize at all or Sg apologized on behalf of an American showing empathy to everyone including Malaysians and the comedians.

With that Sg immediately took the moral high ground and at the same time they extricated themselves from an ugly fight with a bunch of comedians. Why on earth would you want to waste time on such a fight? You cant win it.

Meanwhile Sg watched while Msia suffered a total melt down and have an embarrassing online fight with Jocelyn and the US comedians.

Msia s suffered reputational loss - malu la! So did Jocelyn and her comedian friends - but what's reputation to comedians? They can ride on the controversy and get more fans.

If you're an astute investor, where would you want to put your money? Sg or Msia? And Sg relationship with US remains intact.

Smart lil red dot.

Sg knows exactly what it is doing.

Being a fortunate or unfortunate neighbor Sg knows it will turn ugly. And against who? A bunch of comedians? So Sg exited the situation gracefully (disagreeing with the jokes but yet apologizing on behalf of the offending party who is not a Singaporean) and on a moral high ground. Brilliant. They lost nothing. They came away looking like an angel. Class Act. Good strategy.

But msia?

Do you know how ridiculous that looks in the eyes of the world - to argue with a bunch of comedians? And guess what? The comedians are free to rinse and repeat these jokes anytime.

And yes Joycelyn did not joke about the victims per se. Plenty of 9 11 jokes in the US that do not poke fun at the victims. See where these jokes were made for Pete's sake. It was at a comedy club.

Need to be more globalised for sure.

One of my colleagues tried a hmm anti Sg joke with an American and Japanese of how worst off Sg is compared to Msia. He was promptly taught a lesson on how developed and much better Sg is. You cannot debate facts no matter how angsty or emotional or jealous you are. Msia has a long way to go and the World is free to say that in Msias face.

Utter rubbish. They can even say sorry a million times if it suits their purpose.

They said sorry and went away and watched eating popcorns

Meanwhile in Msia - online twitter etc. fight, brought up in parliament, reported in the press, protest marches etc.

And against comedians!

Infantile. And the world is watching.

Embarrassing!

Aha.

Your reply just exposes how emo or immatured or underexposed (to how the world works)you are in respect to such issues. And it becomes personal.

Petty. Disagree and it is about running down the country. The countrys progress is held back folks like you.

Go on. Keep up the fight with a bunch of comedians.

If I am investor where would I put my money in hmm
..

Certainly not in a country full of unstable emotional creeps!

Really..attacking the messenger isn't.

What you have shared is a whole gamut of instances where an entire country got played by a comedian - from the time wasted (from working or doing something more productive) online, paper wasted in the press, time taken in parliament or outside of it via political platforms. Bodoh!

Even the international press has picked it up - Msia versus comedians.

Are you trying to do one better than Comedy Cellar? You'll fit right in.
