Netizens disagree with customers destroying goods in KK Mart

 

THERE has been a sharp rise in attacks on KK Marts in Malaysia. Besides the petrol bomb attacks, a viral video recently showed a man destroying a significant amount of products on offer in the mart.

The person who posted the video on the X platform said it is an act of barbarism, adding that it is barbaric to crush and destroy merchandise and food products just like that, urging the authorities to act on that.

The dispute against the retail brand began over socks with Allah printed on them sold at KK Mart. This sparked calls for a boycott from the UMNO Youth Chief Dr Akmal Salleh.

The store’s founders and three vendors were charged, yet two stores were firebombed. Dr Akmal condemned the violence, urging a peaceful but persistent boycott approach.

In addition to this, X users who are pro-unity government are stating that the customer’s action of crushing chocolate bars and other products as a sign of boycott is not part of the teachings of Islam.

A prominent X user says that behaving in such a way can make others view Malaysian Muslims in a less favourable light.

Some users are saying the owners of the particular mart should check their CCTV recordings to locate the culprit.

Others claim that the person who destroyed these items simply did it for their own views. X users claim that with the internet, some people are willing to do strange things for content. This could also be one of these people.
