SHAH ALAM: The Sessions Court has fixed July 15 for decision on the representation to the Attorney-General Chambers (AGC) submitted by the founders of convenience store chain KK Supermart & Superstore Sdn Bhd Group.
The representation was filed by KK Group founder and executive chairman Datuk Seri Dr Chai Kee Kan and his wife Datin Seri Loh Siew Mui, through their legal team after they were charged at the same court on March 26 for allegedly intentionally wounding the religious feelings of others.
The same date to decide on the representation was also set by judge Muhamad Anas Mahadzir for the supplier of the socks Xin Jian Chang Sdn Bhd and the company's three directors for the same charge.
The request for a new date was made by deputy public prosecutor Khairul Azreem Mamat.
He told Muhamad Anas that the AGC had received representation from all the parties that were charged.
"The prosecution is seeking a new date to examine and consider the representations," said Khairul Azreem.
The representation had been submitted by the defence to the AGC on May 17.
On May 26, Chai and his wife were charged at the Shah Alam Sessions Court.
The couple, as well as their company KK Supermart & Superstore Sdn Bhd, were slapped with one charge each over the controversial case of socks with the word “Allah” on them being sold at KK Super Mart outlets.
Chai and Loh pleaded not guilty to the charge under Section 298 of the Penal Code for intentionally wounding the religious sensitivities of Muslims.
The convenience store chain has been mired in controversy since March 13 after the controversial socks were discovered in the Bandar Sunway outlet.
