Media Statement By Soo Tien Ren:
It is regrettable and saddening to hear about the recent incident involving a petroleum bomb being thrown in Satok, Kuching.
This incident serves as a stark reminder that extremism knows no boundaries and can infiltrate even our beloved Sarawak. It is imperative for Sarawakians to recognize that extremism is not distant from us.
I firmly believe that Sarawak epitomizes harmony and diversity, not just within Malaysia but across Southeast Asia. To uphold this reputation, it is essential for Sarawakians to vehemently oppose extremist and violent actions through concrete measures.
While it is undeniable that KK Mart had made mistake in the “Allah Socks” issue, resorting to violence against the store and its employees is unjustifiable. Therefore, I urge my fellow Sarawakians to demonstrate support for KK Mart by spending a mere RM10 and sharing it on social media with the hashtag #RM10lawanekstremis. It is time to assert our stance and demonstrate that Sarawak vehemently opposes any extremist ideologies.
To show our solidarity, together with Michael Kong Feng Nian and Sim Kiat Leng, we went to the said KK Mart store to spend RM10 to show our opposition to these violent acts this morning.
