For those who slams vernacular schools and Chinese Independent Schools. Nigel Ng went to both and he is making Malaysian proud now. Way better than those who went to elite schools but ended up burukkan nama Negara

This is aunty Maziah ... love uncle Roger so much .. you take care .. stay positive stay healthy and always keep 'Malaysia Boleh ' where ever .. when ever .. and in what ever you do .. all the best of luck in whatever you do 💕🐈💕

[@ridzuankamal6235]

I never no this guy until uncle roger blew up, my instinct at first, this dude must be Singaporean or Malaysian.. because the dialect uncle roger use sound very familiar.. in Malaysia, as Malaysia proud of u bro and all the best...

This dialect also my curry laksa hawker man in SG. Very comfortable.

Thank you! Been waiting for this!!

[@lmcgready]

Well done Nigel. I spent 15 years in your country. I loved it. I know your school and culture. Wonderful to hear your experiences. 🥰🥰 All the very best.

[@21anis]

Wow he played uncle Roger's character really well, and it's nice to see the real him here, so humble. And good looking too. He looks like one of those sleepyhead in class, but turns out to be the smart one. Dalam kelas tidur je tapi bila ujian tiba2 markah dia paling tinggi hahaha Here's an idea, i think it would be great if there's a writer or a director somewhere out there start writing a sitcom or series with uncle Roger as the main character, delivering punch lines yet every episode has its own lesson to tell. Sign Nigel Ng up for the role. It'll be like having our own phua chu kang, the show many of us grew up with. I'd watch it on television every night. Pity we don't have any english sitcom series anymore like we had back then with Kopitiam. Anyhow i wish all the best to Nigel Ng, Malaysia boleh! 💕

[@watevalicious]

Great idea!! I used to watch kopitiam, Baba nyonya & phua Chu Kang back in the days! So nostalgic. ❤️❤️

Almost 1am here in Malaysia.. Just checking my phone..start to sleep.. Open youtube..this video in my recommendation.. And here.. 2am..still watching.. Nice video n interview.. Such a humble and down to earth nigel.. Hope u can go higher.. N proudly introducing Malaysia...

[@bensonohbt]

When I first watched uncle roger reaction video on bbc fried rice, followed by his reaction videos on Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay, I tot he’s one of those you tubers trying very hard to use these high profiles to create his own fame, but his points r so spot on , that I kept watching his other videos and found that this guy is a legend of his own. He can literally make every normal conversation or topic into light hearted comedy so naturally. Only shortfall is there is too few videos of his work and too many reaction videos to his reaction videos 😂

[@BuckyBoba]

Check library now, he added more.

[@rottenpotato6739]

Looking forward for uncle roger to be back at Malaysia🥺

[@NC_badmintondiary]

So inspiring! Keep it up Nigel!

[@jessiewong147]

So wonderful to see 2 great creative guys together and for Jinny to do this interview with Nigel. We get to know Uncle Roger better. 😁😉. We can see the hard work behind the scenes. " I am not a celebrity" shows how down to earth both of these great guys and the hard work they do. 😊👍

Nigel is the only Malaysian that lives in UK so long if one day he returns to Malaysia he still wouldn't have that fake British accent so many Malaysians somehow acquire after studying in UK half the time Nigel spends there

[@huzaimisamanuri7358]

Haiyaaaa.. You really dont know

[@fitriaahsani1286]

Yes! Uncle Roger reminds me to normal uncles (weirdly we call them here as...'father', not own father as in not every uncles are blood related. In my place, uncle is usually for those who are younger than 'father', and father is for those around Uncle Roger's age, 40-ish?). And eventho I am annoyed with those people (they are not hilarious in any way), I can't help but keep watching and feel annoyed haha
