Indonesian prince Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar has demanded that strict action be taken against those responsible for the blunder in light of the controversy surrounding the sale of boots in the country that bear the term” Allah.”
He added that for errors in terms of racial and religious problems should never be allowed to occur again.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday ( Mar 19 ), Sultan Ibrahim stated in a message to the public that “whether this incident was intentional or not, ( and ) whether the socks were imported or produced in local factories, I want the authorities to investigate and take stern action in accordance with the law so that such matters do not repeat itself.
He added:” The phrase ‘ Allah’ is revered by all Muslims. However, we are already in the month of Ramadan. Therefore, there should n’t have been any incidents that could cause resentment.
The contentious boots were discovered earlier this week in a number of KK Super Mart locations.
The offending item’s photos therefore went viral online, drawing criticism from users as well as well-known politicians and politicians. KK Super Mart was even suggested as a protest.
Finally, on March 13, KK Super Mart apologized for the price of the boots in a Facebook post, and its leader, KK Chai, held a press event on the same day.
” I sincerely apologize to all Malaysians, especially those who practice the Muslim faith,” said Dr. Chai, explaining that a seller handled the product management of the boots without the assistance of his staff.
The owner of the merchant organization Xin Jian Chang, Mr. Soh Chin Huat, who was also present at the press conference, claimed that the socks were among 1,200 pairs of various designs among those that had been imported from China.
Only three stores, with 14 pairs of socks with the word” Allah” on them, were found to have been inspected by KK Super Mart’s 800 branches nationwide.
