PETALING JAYA: Tuaran MP Wilfred Madius Tangau has lambasted Dr Akmal Saleh’s disproportionate reaction to the “Allah” socks controversy and mockingly called on the Umno Youth chief to demand an apology from China over the matter.
Reacting to Akmal’s campaign for a nationwide boycott of KK Mart, Tangau said the Umno man should push for China’s ambassador to Malaysia to be summoned over the issue.Calling for proportionality in actions, the Upko MP said due regard must be given to KK Mart’s swift pull of the offending products from its shelves and for its apologies over the matter to be given due regard.SPONSORED CONTENT Sabah revenue hits RM6.
Tangau said the KK Mart “witch-hunt” could damage the economy by dissuading investors from investing in Malaysia.“If negligence can lead to a death sentence for a retail chain that is planning to be listed, what would protect their investment from rogue competitors or extorting law enforcers?Sabah, Sarawak the ‘other, reasonable Malaysia’
“Sabah and Sarawak should cultivate a clear branding as the ‘Other Malaysia’, one that is reasonable, stable, inclusive and at ease with diversity.”
