KUALA LUMPUR: On stage last night at the Teatteri Forum, Helsinki for the Semi Finals of @laughfactoryhw 'Funniest Person in the World' competition, Malaysia’s most lovable Harith Iskander managed to bag a spot in the finals!
Iskandar made a video announcement of his success on Facebook as he high-fived the videographer enthusiastically, apparently too content to hold it in.
He also expresses his deepest gratitude to all those who has been supporting and voting for him throughout, notably Tourism Malaysia and Singapore Airlines.
The finals will be held at Levi Lapland on December 8th and the screening time will be 2AM due to time zone difference.
Results of the finals will only be based on online voting so get your hands ready Malaysians and start voting for Harith Iskandar!
