KK Super Mart: Take responsibility and stop the rhetoric, PKR Youth tells Dr Akmal

PETALING JAYA: PKR Youth urges Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Salleh to take responsibility and stop the rhetoric on the KK Super Mart socks issue, which has been escalating.

PKR Youth information chief Nabil Hakimi said a politician should help calm the situation and not exacerbate it.

"Dr Akmal should realise that his actions had contributed to the rising tension after his call to boycott the business," Nabil said in a statement on Monday (April 1).
