IPOH - A Molotov cocktail was hurled at a KK Super Mart outlet in Bidor, Tapah, in Perak.

The incident occurred at about 5am on March 26.

The petrol bomb had only hit the five-foot walkway in front of the shop.

The bomb did not explode. A few staff were reportedly working inside the store.

When contacted, Tapah police superintendent Naim Asnawi confirmed the incident and said investigations are ongoing.

Earlier, KK Supermart & Superstore group founder and executive chairman Chai Kee Kan and his wife Loh Siew Mui pleaded not guilty in the Shah Alam Sessions Court to two counts of wounding religious feelings of others over the sale of socks with the word “Allah” at the supermarket premises weeks ago.
