00:00 "An apology is not enough."
00:06 That was UMNO Youth Chief Dr. Akmal Saleh's response to DAP counterpart Dr. Kelvin Yee
00:11 over the controversy surrounding the sale of socks by KK Mart bearing the word "Allah."
00:17 Kuching MP Yee said he understood the sensitivity of the issue.
00:21 However, he said there was no need to escalate it or issue excessive threats.
00:25 Akmal, however, disagreed, saying KK Mart's apology was not enough to close the chapter
00:30 on the controversy.
00:32 He instead called for firm action to be taken.
00:36 Images of the socks sold at KK Mart's Bandar Asanwe store first surfaced on social media
00:40 on Wednesday.
00:42 On Saturday, the convenience chain store issued an apology, which Akmal said was insufficient.
00:48 He called on KK Mart to put up banners at all its 881 stores nationwide to apologize,
00:53 threatening a stronger boycott should it fail to comply.
00:57 In another development, Deputy Home Minister Shamsul Anwar Nasara said police have received
01:02 36 reports linked to the socks.
