Anwar shares light-hearted moment with Trevor Noah

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim hosted a comedic visitor, Trevor Noah, prior to his upcoming performance. The two engaged in a jovial discussion, covering politics, humor, and various anecdotes. During their meeting, Anwar offered Noah some guidance on his stage jokes. In a Facebook post, the Prime Minister expressed pleasure at hosting Noah, noting that their conversation was interspersed with laughter.

He added that he had shared some advice for Noah's performance, cautioning against causing offense. Anwar concluded his post with a playful promise to Noah, saying, "Anyway, don't worry Trevor, if anything happens tonight, we'll all crowdfund together!" This statement came in the wake of Umno's settlement of a RM50 million fine imposed on former Prime Minister Najib Razak through the Najib Razak Solidarity Fund, a crowdfunding initiative launched in September. Noah performed in Malaysia for the first time at Idea Live Arena in Petaling Jaya on November 9.
