No laughing matter: Comedians urge public to vote

A group of comedians have put together a video urging all voters to come out and exercise their democratic right to vote in this 15th general election.

The man behind this endeavour is comedian Kuah Jenhan, who told Malaysiakini, “I basically sent out a text on the comedian chat (yes, we too have an annoying Whatsapp group) and was quite touched that many quickly expressed interest and encouragement.

“Around 20 comedians recorded videos in just two days. Amongst them are Douglas Lim, Dr Jason Leong, Harith Iskander, Phoon Chi Ho, Shamaine Othman, Rizal Van Geyzel and Kavin Jay. I am also excited to introduce many new fresh faces.”
