Akmal needs to listen to the King, say ministers

Time to move on: Fahmi (left) and Nik Nazmi have urged all parties to stop playing up the socks issue.

KUALA LUMPUR: Two ministers have urged all parties to heed the decree by His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia and stop playing up the “Allah on socks” issue.

“For those who are Muslim and Malay, the Agong’s position is a very high level ... for me to disobey the order and deliberately interpret (His Majesty’s order) in another way is not appropriate,” said Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil as reported by Bernama.
