1. Chia maybe a ex-SGrean - but her stand-up comedy is given in the context of presenting a "SGrean" view on MH370 and M'sia itself.
2. SG gov is very very keenly aware of social media, MSMS and public opinion in neighboring countries view on the Little Red Dot.
Those last 3 words itself were invented by one of our nearby country...and it wasn't a complement.

I know you do not agree with SG Gov making an official apology. But if u look at the implication of this saga created by an AMERICAN to an AMERICAN audience in USA, Ms Chia owe not just M'sian an apology, but also to SGreans.
Wanna know what is her reaction to the uproar ?

and that itself is highly relevant matter given American Chia exploited her ex-citizenship bkgnd at the expense of others while entertaining her new-found home in faraway USA.

However, even if they know she's now an American may not not help. They'll just attribute the bad behaviour to a sinkie upbringing.

As a professional female stand-up comedian in the US who grew up in Singapore, Jocelyn Chia's career path has been no joke.
She held a lucrative job as a corporate lawyer earning a six-figure annual salary from 2006 to 2009, but traded it all for comedy.
Chia has been a professional comedian for six years, since making her stand-up television debut on Gotham Comedy Live, hosted by William Shatner.
