KUALA LUMPUR: The groundbreaking documentary titled Shopee Rai Lokal premiered at Shopee Super Awards 2023 event held at the Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur here last night.
The production follows the stories of three homegrown sellers who have shattered barriers and achieved success in e-commerce.
"This film is a love letter to Malaysian entrepreneurs," said Shopee head of marketing, Kenneth Soh, in his speech at the event.
"We want to remind Malaysians, who buy local goods, that behind those online storefronts, there are many people and communities who our sellers support; this documentary is a testament to their intelligence, resilience, and values."
The documentary is an inspiring and thought-provoking look at the challenges and triumphs of sellers in their journey to finding their niche online.
It features interviews with Edward Wong of HomeDecoStore, Felicia Tan of Mamami Shoppe, and Mohd Zaid of Lampu Cherita; who share their personal stories of overcoming obstacles, starting small, and achieving sustained growth in their respective fields.
