The country’s internet regulator issued a stern warning this morning against any exploitation of the controversy surrounding a design element found on the sole of a footwear brand, which allegedly resembled the word Allah.

In a statement, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) said it will not hesitate to take action under the MCMC Act against anyone who violates the law.
