KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today received a visit from South African comedian Trevor Noah ahead of his show tonight.
Anwar said they discussed politics, humour and various other topics during a meeting filled with laughter.
In a Facebook post, he said he had also offered Noah some advice on the jokes he could deliver on stage.
“It was a pleasure to receive a visit from Trevor Noah today.
“We managed to talk about politics, humour and all sorts of stories interspersed with laughter,” he said.
Anwar added that he had shared some suggestions for the comedian’s performance.
“I also managed to pass on some guidance on jokes that can be brought to the stage tonight. Hope no one gets offended!” he said.
He ended his post with a light-hearted assurance to Noah.
“Anyway, don’t worry Trevor, if anything happens tonight, we’ll all crowdfund together!” he said.
The remark comes days after Umno settled the RM50 million fine imposed on former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak through the Najib Razak Solidarity Fund, a crowdfunding initiative launched in September.
Noah made his Malaysian debut at Idea Live Arena in Petaling Jaya on Nov 9.
