The Singapore High Commissioner to Malaysia, Vanu Gopala Menon, has apologised for Jocelyn Chia’s jokes.
“I am appalled by the gratuitously offensive comments made by stand-up performer Jocelyn Chia…I sincerely apologise to all Malaysians for her hurtful remarks,” he said.
“The Singapore Govt 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.”
He said Singapore and Malaysia enjoy a strong & multi-faceted relationship, with deep & 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,” Vanu said in a statement on Facebook.
