POLICE should just arrest Umno Youth chief Muhamad Akmal Saleh and all those like him, who are inciting people along race and religious lines, said Sarawak Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Minister Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah.
Akmal, the Merlimau state assemblyman, has been urging Malays and Muslims to boycott the KK Mart convenience stores over the “Allah” socks controversy.
Karim said the police should just “go and grab” him without having to consider his position and political affiliation.
“Whether (he is) from Umno (or) whether (he is) from any other party, don't bother. Just nab him," he said.
Karim, the first cabinet minister from Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) – the lynchpin of the ruling Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) – to comment of the socks controversy which had triggered off three firebomb attacks on KK Mart stores in Bidor, Perak, Kuantan, Pahang and here in Kuching, said the police should instead look at the “the country as a whole”.
“The Umno Youth chief cannot be inciting (and no action taken). Anything to do with race, religion should always be avoided especially in a multi-ethnic, multi-religious country (like Malaysia).”
