Earlier this week, the founder and group executive chairman of the KK Group that owns the KK Mart convenience store chain, and his wife, were charged at the Shah Alam Sessions Court over the sale of socks with the word ‘Allah’ printed on them at one of KK Mart’s outlets in Selangor.

Senior researcher at the think tank O2 Malaysia, Anis Anwar Suhaimi, concurred with Kartini’s perspective, and pointed out how PAS and Bersatu’s approaches and reactions have been measured and varied. She pointed out that while PAS and Bersatu have already garnered substantial support from the Malay voter base and do not really have to stir the hornet’s nest, Umno is still struggling to establish its relevance and consolidate its standing within the community.

On Tuesday, Selangor PAS chief Datuk Ab Halim Tamuri even urged for calm in the country, after a firebombing attempt at a KK Mart outlet in Perak became the latest development in the “Allah” socks controversy.
