The characters have disappeared from the Singaporean govt’s Facebook page and were replaced by their silhouettes.
The initiative devised by the government and local artists was aimed at encouraging people to follow rules to combat a worsening virus outbreak, but social media quickly lit up with mockery and anger. One user described the outfit as “too light-hearted and frivolous – perhaps tone deaf even”, while another described the characters as “offensive”.
But there was particular anger at Mawa Man, who was described in local media as a fanatical Manchester United fan who enforced social distancing using special powers to repel objects and people.
