Video blogger, Nas Daily akhirnya mengeluarkan kenyataan khas ‘damage control’ kepada rakyat Malaysia berhubung beberapa video beliau yang menerima kecaman dari netizen Malaysia terutama video yang memperkecilkan cara rakyat Malaysia meletakkan kereta di Singapura sambil memuji pemandu Singapura.
Menurut kenyataan yang dinaikkan di laman facebook, Nas Daily memilih untuk menerangkan posisi beliau terhadap tiga video kontroversi, tetapi tiada permohonan maaf dilakukan.
Mengenai video “The Forbidden Land”, menurut Nas Daily ia bertujuan untuk menunjukkan kepada rakyat Malaysia beliau sangat mahu untuk datang ke negara Malaysia dan membuat video.
“The Forbidden Land video: the purpose of it is to show Malaysians that I’d love to come to your country and just make videos. Until then, I have great appreciation for your culture and people. In fact, many of them I met in Singapore and are really good friends now.” – Nas Daily
Berhubung video “The Airport Prisoner” , Nas berkata tujuannya adalah untuk menyatakan perkara realiti dan menambah beliau tidak mempunyai sebarang apa pun terhadap Malaysia dan kerajaannya
“The Airport Prisoner video: the purpose of it is to reflect reality and that’s all. I don’t have anything against Malaysia and its government. If the guy was based in Copenhagen, I’d do the video about him in Copenhagen. It’s really not about Malaysia at all.” – Nas Daily
Mengenai video “Parking” pula, beliau mengakui isu ini paling besar dan tidak bertujuan untuk membuat lawak terhadap rakyat Malaysia atau cara mereka memandu. Beliau juga berkata ia adalah kebetulan plat lesen kereta tersebut adalah dari Malaysia dan memikirkan telah menutup nombor plat tersebut tetapi tidak mencukupi.
“The Parking Video: this is the biggest one of them all. I did NOT mean to make fun of Malaysians or the way they drive. It was a generic line in the script. It was a PURE coincidence that the license plate was of a Malaysian. I thought I covered the whole thing, but I guess it wasn’t enough. I have nothing against your drivers. Frankly, I don’t even care about how Malaysia drives. I was just amazed at the PARKING of cars in Singapore. That’s all!” – Nas Daily
Pengkritik mengatakan kenyataan Nas tersebut dilakukan untuk meredakan serangan netizen Malaysia di facebook Nas Daily.
Berikut merupakan beberapa komen netizen Malaysia:
Fa Ti Ma Thank you for giving me a reason to stop watching your videos. A word of advise, please do more research in the future.

Berikut merupakan kenyataan penuh Nas Daily:
Dear Malaysia,
This post is only visible to you!
Lately, there has been a lot of Fake News about Nas Daily that I want to address here and I want you to help me spread the word.
Some photoshopped picture suggested that I have a hidden Israeli agenda. This is categorically false and stupid. Like many of you, I am Muslim of Palestinian origin. I was born in Israel because…of my parents!! No body chooses where they are born.
I’m not any of what people say I am. I’m just a guy traveling the world who really wants to show everything that’s GOOD in it. No hidden agenda. No sponsorships. Just people to people. The picture is photoshopped, fake, and quite frankly, written with bad grammar. Whoever did it should understand that this is very very un-islamic.
There has been some dissatisfaction from Malaysia from my Singapore videos. And I’d love to clear things up:
1. The Forbidden Land video: the purpose of it is to show Malaysians that I’d love to come to your country and just make videos. Until then, I have great appreciation for your culture and people. In fact, many of them I met in Singapore and are really good friends now.
2. The Airport Prisoner video: the purpose of it is to reflect reality and that’s all. I don’t have anything against Malaysia and its government. If the guy was based in Copenhagen, I’d do the video about him in Copenhagen. It’s really not about Malaysia at all.
So I was a bit sad you guys thought I had any ill-will towards Malaysia.
3. The Parking Video: this is the biggest one of them all. I did NOT mean to make fun of Malaysians or the way they drive. It was a generic line in the script. It was a PURE coincidence that the license plate was of a Malaysian. I thought I covered the whole thing, but I guess it wasn’t enough. I have nothing against your drivers. Frankly, I don’t even care about how Malaysia drives. I was just amazed at the PARKING of cars in Singapore. That’s all!
The most important thing I wanna say is: No. I do not hate Malaysia and I have no hidden Agenda.
You and I have more in common than in difference and I would HATE for you to believe the fake news about Nas Daily.
I’m just a guy fed up with Israel, Palestine, and all what’s bad in the world. So I went on a mission to show you and everyone what’s GOOD in the world…1 minute at a time, every day.
We didn’t get a chance to meet in person for you to believe me. But I hope we do so you can see how genuine I feel about this.
But until then…
We’ll have to keep it on Facebook.
That’s 1 minute, see you tomorrow!!
