PETALING JAYA: A former Umno MP and an academic have slammed the Umno Supreme Council for giving youth wing chief Dr Akmal Saleh its full backing over his actions in regards to the “Allah” socks issue.
Former Sungai Benut MP Tawfik Ismail and Tajuddin Rasdi of UCSI University said Umno was bordering on taking advantage of the issue for political points.
They called for all parties to wait for the outcome of investigations into the matter and for the appropriate punishment on those at fault to be decided by the authorities, not Umno.
The pair also urged Malaysians to ignore Akmal’s call to boycott KK Mart convenience stores over the issue.
