PARIT BUNTAR:
A teacher has lodged a police report here after she found the building blocks she had bought for her youngest son contained elements which touched on the sensitivities of Muslims.

Mahnun Mat Isa, 40, said she was surprised to find the words “Allah” and “Muhammad” printed on a banner held by a “terrorist-like” character in the game set.

“What’s more shocking is that the terrorist character resembled a man with a head cloth,” she said, adding that the toy which she purchased at a toy shop in Taiping was made in China.

“I came to know about it when my son who was playing with the toy showed me the ‘terrorist’ character holding a banner which displayed the words ‘Allah’ and ‘Muhammad’,” she told reporters here yesterday.

Mahnun said she immediately lodged a police report and informed the Perak Islamic Religious Council (Maipk) in Parit Buntar on May 25.

Meanwhile, Kerian police chief Supt Omar Bakhtiar Yaacob, when contacted, confirmed receiving a report from the teacher.
