Akmal Unfazed By 3 Ministers Rebuke Maintains Kk Mart Boycott Call

---

 


Umno Youth chief Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh remains unfazed in his push for a boycott against KK Mart over the "Allah" socks debacle.
This is despite being rebuked by three ministers thus far.
Responding to Transport Minister Anthony Loke, Akmal (above) said he did not need DAP's approval for his mission.
"I don't need DAP's approval to defend my religion from being insulted.
"Whoever you are, I have never been afraid nor will I waver. Full stop. Keep on boycotting!" he said on Facebook last night.
Yesterday, Loke said that DAP did not agree with Akmal's methods in rebuking KK Mart.
DAP secretary-general Anthony LokeHe also questioned whether the Umno Youth chief would react the same way if it involved a Muslim-owned company.
Meanwhile, Akmal also brushed off Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Tiong King Sing's warning that the public may view Umno negatively if the party's youth chief is not reprimanded.
"Can someone give him a mirror? So, he can reflect on himself.
"Even without a position, I would still defend my religion, race, and country!" he said in a separate Facebook post last night.
‘Bring it on!’
On Monday, Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming had also warned that Akmal's push against KK Mart may backfire on Umno.
Akmal responded by telling Nga to "bring it on".
The Umno leader had maintained calls to boycott KK Mart despite the company publicly apologising over the debacle - which it also displays in all its stores.
The offending socks had been found at three KK Mart outlets in Sunway, Selangor last week.
According to authorities, only five pairs of socks were on the shelves.
KK Mart has terminated its deal with the socks' supplier, who in turn, blamed a company in China for wrongly sending them. - Mkini
