https://www.facebook.com/share/p/KYZjh8Z8T8cDwHWz/First and foremost, which section of what religious scriptures?? Is it stated ANYWHERE that printing sensitive stuff on socks is evidence of insensitivity? Or of disrespect?
I tell you what can constitute an insult: if some words were printed on underwear 🩳🩲🩲 and the seller gave you instructions to wear it on your head as some kinda headgear?? Ok, he might be trying to insult or humiliate you la. But of course it's your choice to wanna listen to him or not, no??
Some people claim that wearing the socks is an insult?? WHY. Why should anyone be so easy to insult and/or excitable? Because of the much more superior or supportive intelligence of the creators, izit??
Secondly, the words could be "ALL - ah", "all AH" or "AI lah" (AI = Artificial Intelligence lah) just that the printer got the punctuation and big vs small letters confused?? Please prove my hypothesis wrong first before you get worked up and hurl accusations.
Thirdly the KK Mart boss has already issued an apology for this oversight?? And also detailed steps in his company's SOPs to avoid this kinda mistake in future, no? What more do you want? Set the shop on fire??
Fourthly, the boss of Dr. A is the president of UMNO, no?? Why is the Youth Chief ignoring his bosses' advice so blatantly? What exactly is this fact saying about UMNO or the Muslim community?
Fifth fact: is this Dr. A more powderful than both his bosses, Jakim and the royal families such as the Sultan of Selangor or Ah Gong? I think everyone can tell that he's only trying to 捞取廉价的政治资本 from this fiasco??
Sixth fact: the police have already received the reports from some people of the Muslim community?? Give the police time to investigate and determine what action to take la!! Whole incident is macam like the KK Mart chain had done THAT on purpose?? Come on, it's their first incident of negligence! Why would they wanna do THAT on purpose?? What benefit or advantage would THAT give them? If you are hell bent on setting the chain on fire, I tell you: ALL the workers in the supermarket chain will suffer. Without any exception, EVERYONE of them.
Seventhly, I also know that it's the Ramadan month. But what kinda values is the Holy month trying to inculcate in both the followers and the observers?? To get easily insulted and excited? To stir up controversy and hatred, izit??
Last but not least, I know that this is not the first time such so-called insulting of religious creators (or creatures) happened?? Most likely it also won't be the last time.
But I would like to draw up an analogy with the road traffic conditions: it's heavy traffic on all the roads. And the Hindus (or Indians) are like riding motorbikes doing Grab food deliveries? Chinese people are driving small sedan cars trying to fetch the kids to schools and/or the old folks to the hospitals for medical reasons. While the majority of this country are like driving lorries or eight tonnes oil tankers?? But what is their driving style like? Just because your lorry is empty (or fully loaded), you think you can and should speed or ram your vehicles around?? (While certain Westerners aka white people are flying here and there in their helicopters la.)
Last of the last, if you ended up causing your Muslim, Hindu or Christian brothers to lose their jobs in the Holy month?? Is it considered acts of merits or virtues.
Allow me to share: what I feel might be more virtuous deeds for this Raya. If you can afford it, do give some socks FOC to the poor, or the school kids in poorer areas?? If you want, you can also get the factory to print your family name on the said socks “双木林”、“木子李”、“国家郭”、“耳可阿”、“享耳郭”、“草祭蔡” 或是 “阿拉丁”。
Just a bit of sharing, from my personal POV.
I'm a former police officer from the Singapore Police.
My hypothesis is that this is an act of sabotage.
Ask yourself which supermarket operator would import ONLY 5 (or even a few dozens) pairs of socks??
It’s good that they get rid of you, as police which give accusation without evidence is good for nothing.
Yeah like you said, big and sensitive thing. But doesn't mean you can milk this issue and become gangster go bully innocent people
I am not that religious, i do feel disappointed but we don't go maki pukul people or make content about this. It's just stupid.
People really act emotionally driven by idiot politicians, "religious preacher" and their blind followers
Those gangster that go cause trouble or hoohah here and there by giving death threats, burn down factory, tutup 14 days kinda of shit, of cos ayam don’t agree. Those ppl just acah holy and trying to cause trouble.
My message is for those who think this is not big and sensitive, as if they are ppl who is terpaling open minded and etc.
