He added that such sensitive matters are classified under the 3Rs and should not be taken lightly even though KK Mart has issued an apology. “This isn’t just a religious issue but a responsibility that cannot be taken lightly,” he told reporters after a breaking fast event at the Trolak MARA junior science college here tonight, adding that the matter needed to be resolved immediately so that it would not be misinterpreted and manipulated by unscrupulous parties.
KK Mart issued an apology last week after its Bandar Sunway branch was found to be selling the offending socks. — Bernama
