A MESSAGE insulting religion that appeared on the receipt of a popular pizza chain is being investigated by the police.

Penang’s Barat Daya district police chief Kamarul Rizal Jenal said the case has been classified under Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act.

“Police request the public not to make any speculations regarding this issue which can threaten public order,” he said.

It was reported earlier that Domino’s Pizza had filed a police report and taken “appropriate” action against the customer and staff involved.

“We are deeply disappointed that a customer made a hurtful and disrespectful comment when placing their order.

“We are also disappointed that one of our team members thought it was appropriate to share this online, including the customer’s personal information,” Free Malaysia Today reported.

Bayan Lepas assemblyperson Azrul Mahathir Aziz said in a post in his Facebook that the message was an act of provocation.

“Many, like myself, misunderstood that the receipt was generated by the cashier.

“However, the receipt, which went viral, is for an online order which has the category “remark” which was misused for the act of provocation,” he added.

He said the culprit must be arrested. – May 16, 2024.
