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.
On a separate matter, Razarudin said that Shalom Avitan, the Israeli man detained in Kuala Lumpur last month with six guns and 200 bullets, is expected to be charged in court this week.
He added that the local couple who allegedly sold Shalom the weapons would be charged in a Klang court today.
Last week, Razarudin said the three were being probed under Section 7 of the Firearms (Increased Penalties) Act 1971 and could face the death penalty if convicted of illegal firearm possession.
“We are still investigating the Israeli’s motive for obtaining the six guns, which we know were smuggled from a neighbouring country,” he said.
“Perhaps the Israeli will be charged by this week. Maybe after the Hari Raya celebration.”
He also said that the police are still probing the petrol bomb attacks on three KK Mart outlets in Bidor, Perak; Kuantan, Pahang; and Kuching, Sarawak.
Razarudin said the CCTV footage had “not been of much help”, and that the police are depending on information from the public and other intelligence sources to solve the case.
The attacks followed a controversy over socks bearing the word “Allah” found at a convenience store of the KK Mart chain.
The company made a formal apology. However, its founder and a company director have since been charged with intentionally wounding the religious feelings of Muslims.
