Still a developing country,” she said to laughs at the Comedy Cellar in New York City. “Why, Malaysian airlines going missing not funny huh? Some jokes don’t land,” she said, referring to the MH370 plane that left Kuala Lumpur for Beijing in March 2014 but never arrived. To date, the aircraft has not been located.Radio broadcaster Kudsia Kahar was one Malaysian who took offence, writing on Twitter that she drew the line at turning MH370 into a joke.
Others said Chia’s set would upset the family members of the 227 passengers and 12 crew members who were aboard the missing plane.
