KUALA LUMPUR (March 24): We, Malaysians of all race and religion, TOTALLY REJECT the decision of Umno to support Akmal Salleh in the boycott of KK Supermart over the ‘stocking’ incident. We feel that Umno has proposed an excessive punishment bordering on bullying, extremism and political opportunism.

We, Malaysians of all race and religion, uphold the investigation of the authorities and await the final outcome and punishment by the authorities, not by Umno extremists.

We, Malaysians of all race and religion, accept the apologies made by KK Supermart whether by virtue of their negligence or dereliction in the display of the stocking with the name Allah.

We, Malaysians of all race and religion, honour the name of all the Gods in our religions including the sacred name ‘Allah’.

We, Malaysians of all race and religion, honour the values of all our religions in forgiveness, compassion, tolerance and understanding.

We, Malaysians of all race and religion, are EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED and DISGUSTED with Umno that once saved our nation from a coalition of extremist politics. We had high hopes for Umno to mend its false ways of the past but now we doubt that Umno could be a good partner in our unity government forged by the hopes of the then incumbent Yang Di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Abdullah.
