1,145 pairs of shoes seized from Vern’s shops

 

Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said no arrests have been made as the police are still working with Jakim to get more details.

KUALA LUMPUR: The authorities have seized 1,145 pairs of shoes with a logo design which has been viewed as resembling the Arabic script for the word “Allah” from Vern’s outlets.

Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said the shoes were seized from shops in Kuala Lumpur, Johor, Penang and Kedah.

“However, no arrests have been made as we are still working with the Islamic development department (Jakim) to get more details,” he said at a press conference here today.

Yesterday, Vern’s Holding Sdn Bhd said the logo design on the sole of a line of high-heeled shoes it was selling could be misinterpreted.

It apologised for the design and said it had no intention of designing a logo aimed at belittling or insulting any religion or belief. - FMT
