Jakim,Vern’S Holding

The 41-year-old said he began his career modelling for brands such as JC Penney and Calvin Klein, but quit the business after being sexually assaulted following a photo shoot with a 'very famous photographer'.

PUTRAJAYA: The Islamic Development Department and local shoe company Vern’s Holding had a hour-long meeting over the issue involving a shoe logo that resembles the word “Allah” in Arabic script.

Although the issue had stemmed from a misunderstanding, Ng said he is fully aware that it had caused uneasiness and hurt to the Muslim community. The issue arose following a three-minute video that had gone viral on social media in which a man claimed that the shoes he bought displayed a logo that appears to resemble the word “Allah”.

Separately, Bersatu Youth chief Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Kamal called on his fellow Muslims to refrain from succumbing to paranoia.
