Malaysian comedian Nigel Ng, popularly known by his fictional character name, Uncle Roger, recently found himself in hot water with Chinese authorities. Uncle Roger had his Bilibili and Weibo accounts suspended [UPDATE: now Canceled], with the websites citing, "violation of relevant laws and regulations” as the reason for his ban.
Nigel Ng boasted over 400,000 followers on Weibo.
Fans have speculated that Uncle Roger's ban was largely attributed to a teaser he posted of his upcoming special, The Haiyya Special. The Youtube video, titled Uncle Roger vs CHINA - THE HAIYAA SPECIAL was posted on May 18.
In the video, which has garnered over 700,000 views, Nigel Ng can be seen in the character of Uncle Roger, making jokes about being afraid of the CCP and giving outrageous comedic takes on the Taiwan situation, resulting in the suspension of his accounts.
