The way she talks quite degrading to Malaysia leh don’t find the “jokes” funny.
First, must know which 3rd grade UK or aussie law degree she got
Why she didn't crack a joke about the thousands upon thousands of hungry ghost sinkies who line up at the causeways whenever it's a long weekend?
"Chia, who studied in St Nicholas Girls' School and National Junior College before heading off to university in America, has been featured on cnbc.com, she's been a guest comedian on shock jock Howard Stern's show on Sirius XM and a guest host on MTV."

Singaporean lawyer-turned-comedian faces backlash for insensitive jokes about MH370 tragedy - The Online Citizen Asia
June 7, 2023

While Malaysians and Singaporeans occasionally engage in lighthearted banter, teasing each other on Malaysian food better or Singapore having a stronger currency, the overall relationship between the two nations remains strong. In fact, many individuals have friends and family on both sides of the Causeway.
However, Jocelyn Chia, a lawyer turned comedian originally from Singapore, found herself facing criticism from Malaysians and even her fellow compatriots for making the wrong roast: poked fun at MH 370 tragedy, saying “some joke don’t land.”
On Tuesday (6 June), Chia shared a clip of her performance at New York’s renowned Comedy Cellar on her social media platforms.
At the beginning of the video, Chia briefly mentioned Singapore’s history and how, after gaining independence from the British, the country faced challenges and formed a larger union with Malaysia in order to survive.
When Chia discovered that one of the audience members was from Malaysia, she suddenly resorted to using vulgar language, saying, “f*k you, a**hole.”
She then proceeded to make jokes about Malaysia being the one to leave Singapore, but now finding themselves in a struggling position.
“When my Prime Minister went on TV to announce you guys had dumped us, he cried because he thought we were not going to survive without you. ”
“But then, 40 years later, we became a first-world country.”
“And you guys? Malaysia, what are you now? Still a developing country…”, she added, “Isn’t it the best break up revenge?”
In the following parts of her act, Chia continued to mock Malaysia, portraying them as a clingy ex trying to revive the relationship with Singapore.
Chia mockingly asked, “Why haven’t you (Malaysia) paid me a visit in forty years?” and then impersonated Malaysia, responding, “I tried but you know our airplanes can’t fly,” making a tasteless reference to the MH370 incident that occurred nine years ago.
Chia’s remarks received disapproving glances from the audience, to which she cheekily replied, “What? Malaysian airlines going missing is not funny, huh?”
“Some jokes don’t land. This joke kills in Singapore.”
“They don’t have internet, huh”
When an audience member told Chia would undoubtedly receive a negative review, Chia appeared unfazed by the prospect of receiving criticism from Malaysia. In fact, she made a sarcastic remark, saying, “It’s okay, they don’t have internet, huh.”
In her description, Chia further mentioned that the particular bit was intended as a tribute to Singapore’s founding father, the late Lee Kuan Yew, who played a pivotal role in shaping the country’s development. She regarded it as the form of “revenge” for the two nations “breakup”.
Chia faces backlash for insensitive comments
MH370, the Malaysia Airlines flight that disappeared on March 8, 2014, was an international passenger flight bound for China from Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
Tragically, the flight carried 239 passengers, and to this day, all of them remain missing.
Chia’s recent remarks have drawn significant criticism from Malaysians, as well as fellow Singaporeans, who consider her comments to be highly insensitive.
A concerned netizen, commenting on Chia’s Instagram, rightly pointed out that many victims and their families are still experiencing the ongoing pain of the MH370 tragedy, and making jokes about it is highly inappropriate.
“this is not funny…at least have some sympathy…these kinda jokes are hard to digest for victims family..its case sensitive. ”
A netizen strongly criticized Chia, stating that her comments reflected a lack of humanity and empathy.
“I have a friend on that plane who has a 5 months old baby.That baby never got to see his father again.”
Chia defended that “tragedy plus time = comedy”
Another comment reminded Chia that tragedy should not be treated as a subject for jokes.
However, Chia, quoting the saying “tragedy plus time = comedy,” defended her remark and showed no remorse, argued that enough time has passed since the incident, probably implying that it is now acceptable to make light of the tragedy.
Meanwhile, a netizen claimed to be a Singaporean, commented that a police report was made about Chia’s hate speech.
Another Singaporean took to Facebook and expressed his disapproval of Chia’s remarks. They stated that the jokes made about Malaysia, particularly about MH370, were not funny at all.
“Familes and friends still moan the lost of their loved ones. And we think we are a first world country when we pay hundred thousands of dollars for a piece of paper just to buy a car.”

This idiot doesn't realise the silkair pilot committed suicide and plunged the aircraft into a muddy river.
I bet she is still a virgin. Or that she lost it by paying somebody to do it.
US also got 3rd grade ones. If famous one why must hide the name?
Maybe she humble don't want to show off. Her Secondary School and Pre U quite tokkong. NO need to go 3rd grade U.
it was revealed by the late dr. goh (chief negotiator in sg’s secession from malaysia) in the albatross files that the separation was mutual, and not sg being “kicked out” of the federation. lky, eddie barker then law minister, and dr. goh drafted, edited, proofread the secession terms way before separation talks. contrary to the common narrative, top cabinet leaders in sg were well prepared and willing. in fact, lky was optimistic and was quoted as saying “the picture of a prosperous and flourishing Singapore doing better than the rest of Malaysia is most attractive.” there was even a cabinet memo by lky to his ministers - “greatest attraction of this rearrangement is our hope to get the benefits of all worlds — the common market, political stability with economic expansion, and autonomy in Singapore without interference from KL”.

As usual, PAP spin story for sympathy. Bunch of chronic liars since Day 1.
St nic got many branches leh. Only 1 is good. Njc at her time already downhill.
it proves that lky was not only a convenient bluffer but a great actor. in uk for studies must had read a lot of shakespearean plays and was pining to be a stage actor.
This just proves the pap does not give a shit about singkies. It's of no biz to interfere in a business matter. So why suck up to foreigners? Because it's jobs for foreigners, NS for singkies

Singapore's Minister for Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan has apologised to Malaysians for a joke made by comedian Jocelyn Chia.
Former Malaysian minister Syed Saddiq commented on incident
Chia, a comedian from Singapore (but is "no longer Singaporean"), drew flak for using the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 as a punchline during her standup performance at Comedy Cellar, a renowned comedy club in New York, U.S.
Former Malaysian Youth and Sport Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman picked up on the incident, retweeting Malaysian broadcaster Kudsia Kahar's viral tweet, where the user shared a clip of Chia's performance on the social media platform.
He described Chia's attempt in "turning a tragedy into a source of entertainment" was done "in bad taste".
Despite this, he said he has "good faith" in his "fellow Singaporean friends" and added that "all of us deeply cherish our close relations as countries".
"Whatever it is, let's not allow one bad see to tarnish our whole outlook to our neighbour," Syed Saddiq said.
Syed Saddiq urged the public to look past the incident and instead "take it as a lesson to never take lightly of other people's misfortunes".
Singapore Minister for Foreign Affair Vivian Balakrishnan apologises
Singapore High Commissioner to Malaysia, Vanu Gopala Menon, apologised in an early morning statement on Jun. 8.
He also clarified that Chia is no longer a Singaporean and stressed that Chia's statement "does not in any way" reflect Singaporeans' views.
Vivian Balakrishnan replied to Syed Saddiq and issued a statement on Twitter on Jun. 8, saying he was "appalled" by Chia's "horrendous statements" and that the comedian "does not speak for Singaporeans".
He apologised for the incident, saying "We treasure our ties with family and friends in Malaysia, and are sorry for the offence and hurt caused to all Malaysians."
Syed Saddiq thanked Vivian for his "gracious response" and reiterated his earlier tweet, saying "the action of an individual will not weaken the unbreakable-friendship between our countries."
He also agreed with Vivian's point, "Half of my Family members are from Singapore & none of them share her insensitive view."
He repeated his call to members of public to move forward from the incident, "We are united in Happiness & in grief. Let’s move forward together, stronger."
Limited comments, but defended MH370 joke
Following the incident, numerous individuals who identified themselves as Malaysians have criticised Chia for her insensitivity.
While Comedy Cellar USA removed the clip of Chia's performance from its Instagram and TikTok pages, Chia did not take down the post of the clip from her personal Instagram and TikTok account, as of 3pm on Jun. 7.
A few hours later at 11pm on the same day, she appeared to have limited comments on the Instagram post.
However, she appeared unfazed by the overwhelming negative response to MH370 joke and even defended her statement when responding to a negative comment on her Instagram post.
A commenter said, "From twitter. Tragedy is not a jokes. By the way, post this comment without internet, maybe use magic."
He was referencing another jab that Chia threw at Malaysia during her Comedy Cellar performance.
"A bad Yelp review from the Malaysians, that's okay, they don't have internet," said Chia back then, seemingly hitting back after an audience member said she was going to get a bad review on Yelp, an online rating service, for her MH370 joke.
Chia responded to the Instagram commenter, "Tragedy plus time = comedy. It's been long enough man."

Gone off most socials
As of 11am on Jun. 8, Chia has deactivated her Instagram account, as well as what appears to be her website.
However, the clip of her performance remains on her TikTok, which is still running, at the time of writing.
