After receiving backlash for reviewing Hokkien mee stalls while dressed in a monk’s robes, a local food vlogger has apologised.
“I’ve seen the feedback from many people and understand that the content made some uncomfortable,” Jazz Ang wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday (March 10).
The content creator, who goes by the name Botak Jazz, said he deleted the video and apologised.
“The intention of filming this video was not to mock religion or faith, but to present a creative idea,” he explained.
“However, I acknowledge that when it comes to religious imagery, one needs to be more cautious, which is something I need to reflect on and learn from.”
The incident led him to reflect on Buddhism and how it emphasises compassion, tolerance, and letting go of anger.
“To those who felt angry, I’d like to say: Before pointing fingers at others, please take a moment to reflect on your own words and actions. Do we truly practise the values of our faith in our daily lives?”
