But the Malaysian convenience store chain and its supplier were fined RM60,000 (S$17,280) each.
KK Super Mart and its supplier Xin Jiang Chang were on July 15 each fined RM60,000 for deliberately hurting the feelings of Muslims by displaying socks bearing the word “Allah”, but the Malaysian chain’s founder and his wife were acquitted and discharged of the same charge.
The Shah Alam Sessions Court judge Muhamad Anas Mahadzir made the decision after Deputy Public Prosecutor Masri Mohd Daud said the prosecution did not want to continue with the case against the five individuals. He had asked for a discharge not amounting to an acquittal. “This case has attracted a lot of attention because it involves a religious issue… In future, be more sensitive about issues that involve the sensitivity of the Muslim community or any religion,” Judge Anas said.
