Malaysia police have confirmed that a petrol bomb was thrown at a KK Super Mart convenience store in Perak early Tuesday (Mar 26) morning.
This incident comes after socks bearing the word “Allah” were found to be sold by the minimart chain .
Malaysian court charged five executives from the supermarket chain and its supplier with hurting religious feelings on Tuesday.
Perak police chief Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri said a local worker found the bomb at the store in Jalan Bruseh, near Bidor, at 5.35am. She lodged a police report regarding the incident at 8.49am.
The sale of the socks had drawn a rare royal rebuke from Malaysia's king, who called for an investigation and "strict action" against those who are found guilty.
Photos of the socks circulated quickly on social media, sparking public outrage as some Muslims regarded them to be insulting, especially as the incident happened during the fasting month of Ramadan.
Supplier Xin Jian Chang also issued an apology, and explained that the "problematic socks were part of a larger shipment of 18,800 pairs ordered" from a China-based company.
