S'porean TikToker vlogs about 'escaping the haze' on trip overseas, slammed for being insensitive
In a travel vlog, she said 'Good luck to whoever is in Singapore'.
A Singaporean TikToker named @justjazzle has apologized after receiving criticism for her recent video, in which she seemingly boasted about her upcoming trip to Shanghai to escape the haze situation. Many users felt that her comments were insensitive, given the ongoing haze crisis in Singapore and other regions. In her video, @justjazzle said, "I'm escaping the haze.
Good luck to whoever is in Singapore, cause I will not be here anymore, at least for the next five- no, six days five nights." Some users, like content creator @zenyukilove29, pointed out that the situation reminded them of the severe haze crisis in 2015, when schools were shut down and people had to stay at home. Despite the backlash, @justjazzle maintained that she didn't intend to come across as insensitive and claimed her intentions were merely to express excitement about breathing fresh air.
She later issued a public apology, acknowledging her privilege to travel and promising to be more careful with her words in the future.
