Tingling feeling while using Macbook Pro 13" (2020 Base) when it is plugged in.

Hi all, i have just recently purchased the base Macbook Pro with 512gb of storage.

It is plugged in while i am using it and i continuously will feel the tingling feeling. Is this normal?

(I live in Singapore, and the wattage of the charger might be different as per different country)

Any advice to stop the tingling feeling from occuring?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
