# M’sian Teacher Slammed For Violating Students’ Privacy In Viral Spot-Check TikTok, She Apologises & Promises To Do Better

In an unforeseen twist to her usual lighthearted content, a teacher who is also an influencer, aka @qiwiie on social media, who rose to prominence for her interactive school-hour videos, found herself at the centre of controversy.

On June 21, the educator issued a public apology for an overstep in her content creation process — the unauthorised use of a student's bag in one of her videos.

**"I would like to apologise to the parents and individuals who were offended by a recent video I posted. I am really sorry." expressed the teacher who's amassed popularity through her viral content.**

The uproar ensued after a contentious video of Shi Qi going through a student's bag surfaced, triggering widespread criticism for featuring students without consent. I

In an effort to extinguish the growing flames, she extended her apology on social media and elucidated the nature of the disputed video.

> **She stated, "There were no students in this video. Unlike the rest of my recent videos where parental consent was asked and granted, I did not seek consent before opening the bags as they were used as props. This is an oversight and my fault, which I deeply regret."**

**"The video was sponsored content. It was filmed during break time and I placed the gummies into the bags before the shoot. I looked through the students' bags, took out a gummy, and ate it." **She released a comprehensive five-page apology on her TikTok, acknowledging her lapse in judgement for using a student's bag as a prop without due permission.

Contrasting her usual content, filmed with the parents' go-ahead, Shi Qi recognised her miscalculation and voiced sincere remorse for her oversight.

> **"I am new to content creating and I am still learning. This is not an excuse. I am honestly very grateful to everyone who has brought this issue up and I will take this as a lesson to be more mindful and conscientious in the future."**

## Removed video after 20 minutes

Her video, unfortunately, attracted the attention of vigilant netizens who flagged the inappropriate content.

**"I acknowledged my error and promptly removed the video after 20 minutes. It disheartens me that some individuals had downloaded the video and disseminated it online before I could take it down," she lamented.**

Deeply invested in her school and students, the teacher expressed guilt over the unfavourable fallout of this episode.

Expressing her profound devotion towards her school and students, the teacher conveyed a deep sense of remorse for inadvertently drawing negative attention towards them through her actions.

Underlining her role as a teacher, she emphasized the high value she places on the safety and wellbeing of her students, something she doesn't take lightly.

## All TikTok videos taken down, left with apology post

She has also taken immediate measures to remove all videos featuring children from her social media accounts.

Viewing this as a learning opportunity, she conveyed her intent to use this time for self-reflection and reevaluation of her future content plans, aiming to improve and do better for her students.

By 8 a.m. today, the apology statement had drawn 400,000 views, close to 20,000 likes, and over 1,000 comments.

Despite the incident, a multitude of netizens extended supportive and uplifting comments, appreciating Shi Qi's dedication towards her students and her intent to foster positivity online.
