The Prasarana chairman’s condescending dismissiveness of reporters’ probing questions, his lack of empathy for the victims and his sneering remark with racial overtones towards a woman reporter from China were apparent for all to see.

Douglas Lim became more recognised now with his parody.
Likely he may get advertisement offers since he has reached out to multi-ethnic audience with his comic relief.
Douglas now appears to have stepped out of his local kopti tiam sitcom limits and may seize the opportunity to go international like Ronny Chiang in USA and Nigel Ng aka Uncle Roger in UK?
He should be able to get the world to understand Malaysia more? We have wait and see.

Advertisers loves those who can reach out to multi-ethic audiece.
Just look at comedian Harith Iskandar with a Chinese wife in so many tv commercials.
Douglas can speak decent Malay so he can capture the hearts of biggest comsumer group in Msia.
Douglas Lim can follow Friends to have a reunion show for Kopitiam? Tajuddin can be guest star.
