PETALING JAYA, May 20 — Shopee — where you can buy T-shirts and many things, but not vaccines.
The message was spelt out loud and clear by Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin yesterday while reminding Malaysians that the process of buying Covid-19 vaccines is nowhere near as easy as adding an item into your online shopping cart.
“This isn’t buying a T-shirt from Shopee. This is a vaccine, a highly regulated product,” he said.
And while it’s true that you won’t be able to buy a vaccine online, there’s a plethora of other exciting offers awaiting Malaysians in Shopee’s upcoming 6.6 Awesome Sale.
Whether you’re shopping for necessities or just looking for something to treat yourself, Shopee is offering free shipping with a minimum spend of just RM6 starting May 25.
Users can also snag huge savings with 66 per cent discounts and vouchers daily from brands like Oppo, P&G, L’Oreal, Realme, Polo Hill, Dr Cardin, Laneige and Enfagrow.
The fun doesn’t stop there as users can collect coins to offset their purchases by playing games such as Shopee Farm, Shopee Spin & Win, and Shopee Shake – Battle Mode to win from a pool of 16 million Shopee Coins.
Additionally, Shopee Vote & Win brings even more excitement as users get to vote for their favourite prize like a Sony PS5 or Dyson vacuum cleaner, and even stand a chance to win them.
Don’t forget to look out for Limited Time Vouchers, upsized Shocking Sale slots, Super Brands Spotlight, and bigger discounts during the Payday Sale (May 25) and the 6.6 Awesome Sale (June 6).
On the big day of June 6, users can tune in to Shopee Live, TV3, or Tonton from 9pm to catch the Shopee 6.6 Awesome Show loaded with 6.6 deals from your favourite brands, exclusive vouchers during 6.6 Awesome Voucher Drop sessions, six million Shopee Coins to be won, and other surprises.
To top it all off, ShopeePay mobile wallet is part of the Finance Ministry’s e-Belia programme which will allocate RM300 million in e-wallet credit to youths aged 18 to 20 as well as Malaysians who are studying full-time at a higher education institution.
