Ms Chia became an overnight sensation on social media for her disparaging cracks against Malaysia in a stand-up comedy skit on The Comedy Cellar, a US-based show that was aired on the internet.
Umno youth chief Muhamad Akmal Saleh said the wing is hopeful that the memorandum will be conveyed to the relevant authorities within the US government to ensure a thorough investigation into the incident is conducted and appropriate measures taken to address the situation.
Dr Akmal added that as an embassy representing the US, a country known for its commitment to diplomacy and inclusiveness, it is imperative to address this issue promptly and take appropriate action. Among others who condemned Ms Chia, who was born in Singapore, included Transport Minister Anthony Loke who called her out over her remarks.
