PETALING JAYA: Amid calls for boycotts of KK Mart following the controversy over the sale of socks with the word "Allah" printed on them, an influencer took to TikTok on Wednesday (April 3) to urge the public tonot to jeopardise others' employment opportunities.
@harianbecok said this is especially so during the festive season.
This plea came after the Federal Minister Nga Kor Ming's show of support for KK Mart earned praise amidst the boycott calls.
The video highlighted the potential impact on employees' livelihoods and urged Muslims to reconsider boycotting KK convenience stores as Hari Raya approaches.
It emphasised that legal actions have been taken and called on all parties to respect the judicial process, refraining from further boycotts to safeguard the nation's economy.
@harianbecok As Hari Raya Aidilfitri approaches, let's not burden our workers. Let's not disrupt others' rice bowls. #MalaysiaHarmoni ? original sound – HarianBecok
The video underscored the risk of innocent employees losing their jobs if the boycott persists, featuring the Minister making purchases at the convenience store's cashier, Sin Chew Jit Poh reported.
