PETALING JAYA: A group of “concerned Malaysians”, including academicians, activists and ex-politicians, has condemned Umno’s decision to support a boycott of KK Super Mart over the controversial socks issue.

The group of 23, whose members span across all ethnicities, faiths and regions of Malaysia, including Sarawak and Sabah, said that Umno has “proposed an excessive punishment bordering on bullying, extremism and political opportunism”.
