Cannot be sold! This T-shirt has caused public outrage and has been urgently removed from Shopee

Recently, a seller sold a T-shirt with the words "Everything Will Be OK" printed on it on Shopee , but the T-shirt was criticized by many netizens.

It is understood that the T-shirt is printed with a photo of Myanmar protester Kyal Sin. In March, the 19 -year-old girl was shot dead during a crackdown on anti-regime protests in Mandalay . Many people called her a hero and martyr.

When he was shot, Kyal Sin was wearing a T-shirt with "Everything Will Be OK" printed on it , so this T-shirt caused public outrage after it was sold, and many netizens expressed their dissatisfaction on Twitter↓

Miss Kyal Sin is a hero from Myanmar and this should not be a case for businesses to profit from it !

It is unethical for businesses to use Kyal Sin's image to promote their products because she died for the revolution and this is no joke.

In addition, many netizens posted screenshots of T-shirts from sites such as Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia and Brazil on Twitter .

In the comments of the tweet, some netizens even believed that this T-shirt was inciting ethnic hatred.

As the incident fermented, it also attracted the attention of global news interviewees, such as May Wong from Channel NewsAsia and Freya Cole from the BBC.

According to screenshots seen by MARKETING-INTERACTIVE, the T-shirts were shipped from Indonesia and China .

In a statement to MARKETING-INTERACTIVE, a spokesperson for Shopee said it has "zero tolerance for false and objectionable products " and will not hesitate to take appropriate action against sellers who do not adhere to the stipulated guidelines.

At present, Shopee has contacted the relevant sellers and issued warnings , and has also deleted such products from the platform. Products with "Everything Will Be OK" can no longer be searched on Shopee's various sites .

In fact, it’s not just on Shopee. Some netizens have discovered that Lazada ’s Singapore and Malaysia sites also have the same T-shirts for sale, but they don’t use Kyal Sin’s image to promote the shirts.

Shopee has always had a platform ban policy and has a zero-tolerance attitude towards violations, so sellers cannot blindly list products, especially products with sensitive elements involving ethnic events.

Moreover, when sellers list any products, they must understand the platform’s sales guidelines to take precautions and avoid getting into trouble.
