Uncle Roger Clarifies His Position

Nigel Ng
Uncle Roger's favourite expression: "Haiyaa!"

Internet celebrity Uncle Roger recently got himself into trouble after his video featured another YouTube star who has been vocal in his criticism of the Chinese government. Uncle Roger subsequently remove the video from the internet.

Critics had accused Uncle Roger – he is a Malaysian comedian and his real name is Nigel Ng, of bowing down to pressure from China last week after a video he made with vlogger Mike Chen from the Strictly Dumpling channel was removed from his YouTube channel.

Uncle Roger apologizes
The video with Mike Chen that got Uncle Roger into trouble.

In a new video posted to YouTube on January 16, Uncle Roger clarified: "I hate drama ... I just want to make funny vigeos (he means videos).”

"I don't want to be involved in anything else - no politics, no drama. Uncle Roger love making people laugh. It's about entertaining people, no matter where they come from, and respecting everyone's culture.”

"For the record, Uncle Roger make zero dollars from Chinese social media so to see my nieces and nephews say I like RMB more than MSG really break Uncle Roger’s heart." RMB is an acronym for renminbi, China's currency - also called the yuan.

Uncle Roger also addressed his critics on Instagram, posting: "I'm not bowing down to anyone. Especially not to all the hate comments I'm getting. So if you're thinking of sending me nasty things, save your time and just hit the unfollow button."

The whole drama began last week when a video entitled "Uncle Roger Reviews Ugliest Dumpling Ever" was removed by Uncle Roger himself, who said was not aware of Mike Chen's political leanings nor his previous criticism about the Chinese government when he collaborated with the food vlogger. He admitted on Weibo - China's Twitter - that the video had created a "bad social impact".

"My staff and I would like to express our sincerest apologies to everyone," Nigel Ng said. "Considering the seriousness of this issue and the negative impact of the video itself, we discussed internally and decided to take it down from all platforms."

Nigel Ng shot to fame last year when a video he posted to YouTube criticising a BBC recipe for egg fried rice went viral. It was the right timing as the entire world went into lock down when Covid-19 pandemic hit.

The Handsome Prince of Malaysia


The 5th son of Malay Sultan Ibrahim Ismail of Johor is a proud military man who loves to be in the driving seat – inheriting a love of cars and bikes, but also staying in shape by playing golf, polo and sailing.

Being the fifth son of a sultan comes with its fair share of perks – one being that you are far enough away from the burden of the crown but still get to experience all the splendour that comes from being within His Royal Highness’ inner circle. Welcome to the extraordinary life the 27-year-old Tunku Abdul Rahman.

The royal lineage seems to have an affinity with racing cars and Tunku Abdul Rahman has inherited that need to get behind the wheel. In March 2019, His Highness, also known as the Tunku Paglima of Johor, marked his debut as a professional racing driver during the launch of his racing team. Like his grandfather, the Iskandar of Johor, he chose to compete in a Mercedes-Benz.

A skilled driver through and through, Tunku Abdul Rahman has also been known to sail yachts, ride motorbikes, and even manage the reins of a horse while competing in polo.

The prince isn’t one to shy away from social media, and he keeps his 500,000 Instagram followers entertained with posts and stories. And just like any regular fan, he shares shots of himself hanging out with his idols, such as MotoGP champions Marc Marquez of Spain and Australia’s Mick Doohan.

Aside from officially being known as the Tunku Panglima of Johor, Tunku Abdul Rahman was appointed a datu and the Grand Commander of the Order of the Crown of Johor while still a teen, in 2009, and was knighted in 2015, aged 22. At times, he has proudly donned his military uniform instead of civilian clothes. He once said on Instagram, “I wear my uniform with pride because I’m proud of the regiment I’m serving and also because I earned the wings and badges I have on my chest – I don’t wear them just as decorations.”

With his love for polo and car racing, it comes as no surprise that Abdul Rahman is comfortable outdoors. He spends his weekends on the golf course at times, and swims in one of the pools at the family’s official residence, Istana Bukit Serene. When he’s not staying fit by cycling, running, or riding, he participates in royal engagements, travelling by private jet when he can.
