Shut up and stop acting like a hero, Siti Kasim tells Akmal

LAWYER and social activist Siti Kasim today stressed that Umno Youth chief Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh does not represent the voice of the Malays in the country over the KK Mart - "Allah" socks debacle.

"Sorry, you do not represent me and many others. We are not stupid (bodoh) nor ignorant. It is no longer like in the past.

"You should look after your own house... your Mersing Umno youth chief ... What have you done about that? Nothing I guess," she said in a video posted on her Facebook.

She said politicians from all parties concerned should stop using the KK Mart - "Allah" socks debacle in an attempt to gain political mileage.

"The government is taking action. It has in the past acted against all those who have insulted Islam. We have our laws.

"I have said it before ... all politicians are the same and the Malays are made to look like fools," she said.

She said Akmal wanted to make it seem like he was a saviour and safeguarding Islam.

"All he is doing is safeguarding his pocket. Stop using religion knowing people are sensitive about such issues.

"I recently saw a TikTok video where he was seen calling the Malays to be ready. He was seen sharpening a parang ... this is something the police must act on.

"It is like he is instigating the Malays to create problems. Islam never teaches us all this," said Siti.

She urged Akmal to 'shut up' and stop acting like a 'hero'.

"We are not 'bodoh' like you think. Lay off this subject and let the police investigate.

"It may be a genuine mistake ... After all, the company involved is huge, and we should let the authorities investigate.

"We have a brain given to us by God and we need to use it. This hype is only among politicians and in reality, the Malays on the ground are not bothered about it. Stop manipulating this issue for your political mileage," she added. - The Vibes, March 21, 2024
