PETALING JAYA:

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has offered comedian and former Daily Show host Trevor Noah a few suggestions on what he could joke about during his show tonight, following a light-hearted meeting between the two.

Anwar, who shared photos of their meeting at the Prime Minister’s Office in Putrajaya on Facebook, said they chatted about “politics, humour and all sorts of stories, with plenty of laughter along the way”.

“I also managed to offer him a few pointers on what he could joke about on stage tonight. Hopefully, nobody takes offence!

“Anyway, don’t worry, Trevor. If anything happens tonight, we’ll crowdfund together!” he said, in what appeared to be a jab at Umno’s fundraising drive to pay the RM50 million fine imposed on its former president Najib Razak.

Noah is currently in Malaysia as part of his Trevor Noah Asia Tour 2026, making his highly anticipated Malaysian debut with a two-night show at Idea LIVE Arena in Kuala Lumpur on Nov 9 and 10. - FMT
