: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission has issued a warning against the distribution of “provocative content” related to a controversial shoe logo that some claim resembles the Arabic script for the word “Allah.”

“MCMC will not hesitate to take action under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 if any party tries to take advantage of the issue and send or leave outrageous comments that may cause tension between races. The controversy began when a Facebook user shared a video of a pair of high-heeled shoes from the local brand Vern’s Holding Sdn Bhd, alleging that the logo on the sole resembled the word.

The company also said it has immediately ceased the sale of the shoes and offered refunds to customers.
