00:07 has been revoked.

00:09 In a Facebook post, the Batu Pahat Municipal Council said it also issued a notice for Sinjang

00:14 Chang Sindirian Berhad to close its operations.

00:18 Yesterday, Oriental Daily reported that Sinjang Chang was halting its factory operations in

00:23 Batu Pahat until Sunday to ensure the safety of its staff.

00:28 The company said it was doing so after the home addresses of its stock management were

00:31 leaked on social media and threats were made to burn down the company.

00:36 Oriental Daily also reported that the company had displayed a banner on its factory gate

00:41 expressing regret over the controversy and promising to uphold its commitment to preserving

00:46 the sensitivities of a multi-religious society.

00:50 The controversy arose after photographs of the socks appeared on social media last Wednesday,

00:55 earning the ire of the Muslim community and sparking calls for a boycott.
