After two reports were made against him in response to the ongoing story involving convenience store network KK Super Mart and its purchase of socks bearing the word” Allah,” the Royal Malaysia Police has opened an investigation against him.  ,
The police stated in a statement on Friday ( Apr 5 ) that Dr. Akmal was being looked into under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act as well as the Sedition Act.
Following the sale of the” Allah” socks, Dr. Akmal has been at the forefront of calls to boycott KK Super Mart.
Some prominent public figures, including Sarawak Tourism, Creative Industry, and Performing Arts Minister Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, have urged police to arrest the UMNO children chief for inciting racial and religious conflicts. His outspoken denunciation of the business has led to this.
After photos of the socks went viral online, leading to widespread backlash from citizens and politicians as well as ban calls, the domestic ease store chain, which has over 800 locations across the nation, was plunged into hot water earlier in March.
Chai Kee Kan, the company’s founder, and his family, who serves as the company’s chairman, have since been accused of “deliberately intending to harm the theological feelings” of those who make up the Muslim-majority country.
Three Xin Jian Chang vendors who had supplied the boots were even accused of aiding in the alleged murder.
On Friday, the police said that the case will be referred to the Attorney General’s Chambers ( AGC ) upon the completion of investigations.
Dr. Akmal announced earlier that day in a Twitter post that he had been detained in Sabah’s Kota Kinabalu. In a later videos, Dr. Akmal was depicted driving away.
” No anxiety, no surrender”, said Dr Akmal in the picture.
Dr. Akmal has since been released by the government after making a statement at the police office in Kota Kinabalu in relation to a subversive statement he made while in Kelantan, according to The Star.
” They took about two and a half hours to report my speech, and I’ve cooperated. It was done professionally”, he was quoted as saying by The Star.
The KK Super Mart children captain has been vocal about his demands for a continued protest. Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar, the prince of Malaysia, has warned against this, despite the fact that the situation has been dragged any more.
After meeting with Chai, the founder of KK Super Mart, on April 3, Sultan Ibrahim made the order, in which case Chai apologized to the king and all Islam for the” Allah” boots blunder.
There have been reviews of numerous instances of petrol weapons being thrown at various KK Super Mart locations throughout the nation, including Sarawak, in the wake of the ongoing problem.
