Harith Iskander was in Miri a couple of weeks ago for his Nationwide Live comedy tour, presented by Celcom. The event was held in an almost full-house Marriott Hotel and Resort’s ballroom.

The night started off with the special guest appearance of Douglas Lim, the comedian who made it up the ranks with the once-famous Kopitiam comedy. I’m sure most of you remember Kopitiam on NTV7 back in 1997.

Favorite joke of the night by Douglas:
How Timbaland made easy money in the Sexy Back video while Justin Timberlake does most of the singing and all he did was making the “Yah Yah” sound.

After about 30minutes of his performance, comes the man of the night.

I present you, Harith Iskander, ladies and gentlemen.

Both of them battle it out by a spontaneous, self-composed lyrics based on the lady’s given details. At the end of the day, the lady would wanna go on a date with Harith instead of Douglas, even though Douglas claimed that he’s the handsome one, but Harith won her heart because his name was on the backdrop of the show. Proven that, handsome guys doesn’t necessarily win girls.

Douglas and Harith duet, performing Hotel California with a lyric based on their experience here in Miri.

Harith:“If I were to release a CD, I’ll sell 4 million copies in Malaysia alone!”
Douglas: “Stop dreaming Harith, I bet you’ll sell 100 copies, that is among your friends and families, while the rest of your 4 millions will download from the Internet, IF, they happen to be interested in your songs, that is.

The comedy was filled with the Malaysia vs Singapore type of jokes. It’s funny and all their jokes makes sense and portrayed the true Malaysian’s way of live.

Most used word of the night by Harith, who happens to be a Celcom spokesman, is…

“Fuiyoh!”, which happens to be a DiGi slogan.

I think he’s getting paid to say that. Tee hee. But it does make sense though since the introduction of Mobile Number Portability, where any telco is basically, all telco.

Did you know? Harith dated a Chinese air-stewardess before! Now that’s a “Fuiyoh!”.
