Don't exploit KK Super Mart issue for political mileage, says MCA's Tan Teik Cheng


PETALING JAYA: Politicians should refrain from exploiting the latest controversy over the sale of socks bearing the word “Allah” for political mileage and instead focus on issues concerning public interest, says MCA vice-president Datuk Tan Teik Cheng.

Tan said Umno youth chief Dr Muhammad Akmal Salleh’s demands for apology banners at all 881 KK Super Mart outlets nationwide failed to solve the issue and also exacerbated racial tensions.
