commend the statement made by the Mufti of Penang, Datuk Seri Wan Salim Mohd Noor, urging restraint in commenting on the incident involving socks bearing the word “Allah” at a KK Mart in Bandar Sunway.
The learned Mufti also advised: “Punishing non-Muslim traders as enemies or traitors is a cruel act, whereas Islam calls for to uphold justice regardless of religious and racial background.” When such issues arise, it is up to the government to take the lead and quickly reassure the public that the issue will be investigated and addressed appropriately. This is to prevent emotions from escalating and unscrupulous politicians from taking advantage of the unfortunate incident for political mileage as we saw happened in this case, resulting in threats and risks to workers’ livelihoods, safety and reputation despite the apology by KK Mart Group.
