PETALING JAYA, April 15 — Malaysian comedian Ronny Chieng is using sepak takraw to troll American conservatives on national television.
In a segment for
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, the 35-year-old described sepak takraw as the “perfect sport for disillusioned Republicans.”
This comes as a number of conservative Americans continue to express their disapproval of basketball, rugby, and baseball players using public platforms to speak out against political issues such as racism.
