Uncle Roger slammed for 'poor' joke at his new restaurant​

Malaysian comedian Nigel Ng, popularly known as Uncle Roger, is facing backlash from Malaysians following the opening of his first restaurant in Kuala Lumpur.

Ng was featured in a video posted on KL Foodie's Facebook page introducing his restaurant Fuiyoh! It’s Uncle Roger to viewers.

Located on the seventh storey of Pavilion Elite in the heart of Bukit Bintang, it's obvious that the prices of items offered on the menu would not be cheap to the locals.

However, a comment he made about affordability has rubbed netizens the wrong way.

Referring to Uncle Roger's Special Fry Rice (Spicy) on the menu, Ng says: "If you're poor, just get this one, only RM18 in Pavilion. What can you get in Pavilion for RM18? Maybe one sock."

Facebook user KL Chong wrote: "Your words have already shown how you look down on poor people."

Nur Aniesya said: "Poor people don't go to Pavilion. We just take a selfie in front of it."

Jamme Jamme commented: "RM18 for fried rice? I will never try even if I can afford it."


Others defended Ng's humour and urged Malaysians to support him.

"He is Malaysian, now internationally known," wrote Aryan Redzuan. "We should be proud of him."

Nora Stellina Abdul chimed in: "You expect him to sell at RM5 and please people who can't afford it? Just wish him the best if you can't support him."

Will go to his restaurant and try the fried rice. I try to catch hold of the menu in the video and he got a meatless version one that is Kimchi fried rice.

Many snowflakes online who get offended over the most trivial things, it's highly addicting to those with low self-esteem. Maybe it gives them an endorphin or dopamine rush.

His character Uncle Roger takes potshots at many people, that's what comedians do.

Political correctness and cancel culture is the death of comedy. Woke ideology originates from this.

Don't worry. Ramesh fellow countrymen in Mudland will support.

Poor people fuck off....

Who the fuck would open a restaurant at jalan bintang to serve the poor and let them nitpick on portions and price. They should stick to eating shit.
