The complainant’s wife had posted the photos, first published on a Facebook page, on her TikTok account, following which a user commented that he had asked the shop owner about the stones and was told to “mind your own business”.
Police had ordered the administrator of the Kementerian Netizen Malaysia Facebook page to take down the photos. The shop owner and the complainant’s wife have been asked to assist in the investigation.
Asri urged the public to delete the photos and refrain from spreading them to ensure the sensitivity of Muslims is respected and to avoid unwanted incidents.
