    Great interview. Ronny is an educated thoughtful witty fellow. Personally I find it insulting that movie makers hadn’t progressed with the white lead thing before Crazy Rich Asians. Insane! Let’s hope we are on a roll now.

      No offense but people call the united states of America "America" because it's the only country with America in its name. No other country in North, South, or Central America uses the word America in the Name of The Country. So yes, it is in fact fair to shorten its name to America.

    great interview. awesome questions, very intelligent. always a funny and extremely smart Ronnie. he need to do a movie about being a lawyer from malaysia, that comes to america, and highlight the differences between how it’s done in other countries and america. i think there’s probably tons of jokes in the circumstance. i’m a music artist, but i write movies and anime, so right away, this would be a movie is would do. especially if it’s one main case, but multiple minor cases that are all different, to create great contrast, while definitely keeping people interested, but not too much to distract from the main case, or always interjecting the main cases to keep the theme present. i wish i could make this, i just basically wrote the movie here.

    Ronny is great. Thanks for the interview. Re Singapore and the movie, as entertaining as it is, Singapore is nothing like that. The people of Singapore are so nice and friendly and there is no snobbery. Bear in mind they have only become rich in the last 20 years. There is virtually no old money there, and the old money that does exist is not haughty. It may become that way but it isn’t now.

    I have not seen an interview in such a professional and well thought of manner. This interview was not looking for a cheap joke at all. You can tell he really respects comics and wants to see the inner thoughts of a professional comic. Comics are now becoming more important then ever because they are able to swing the way people think. Dave chappelle did a bit about female abortions and i think he changed the whole game on abortion and its being viewed. "if you can kill a baby i can atless abandon it".
    I hope this guy interviews more great comics because i like hearing this part of a comedy mind. Comics are like rappers. underrated for being smart. special brains.

    Like Ronny, I was born in Malaysia, study high school or secondary school in Singapore, and went Canada in1989 to obtain my first degree in communication and follow by a journalism degree in the US. During those days when people heard that you are from Malaysia, they immediately associate Malaysia as Himalayas, or they might even believe that Malaysia is a part of Singapore. I even have people telling I must be amazed by all the tall brick buildings, as we have spend most of my life living on trees. But now in North America, most of the tree house resorts are regard as prime properties, back to nature theme.
