PPIM: Customer’s fault for buying fabrics with Jesus image
The Malaysian Muslim Consumers Association says customers should be more careful with the items they purchase.
..
…
PETALING JAYA: A customer was at fault for purchasing fabric with the image of Jesus on it and not the department store for selling the product, the Malaysian Muslim Consumers Association (PPIM) told FMT today.
Its President Nadzim Johan said that customers should be more careful with the items they wished to purchase.
“Customers need to be more cautious when buying items. Of course, there is some fault in the seller who may have been insensitive, but as a seller he can sell whatever he wants to sell.
“If we want to purchase items, we have to make sure that we do not buy the wrong things. If you buy online, we also have to make sure that we make the best choice,” he told FMT.
…
Nadzim however stressed that every customer needed to be more careful with what they were about to purchase in order to avoid a repeat of such incidents.
“Aside from the Islamic authorities and the Ministry of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism, we ourselves have a role to play,” he said.
Johan said he hoped the department store would cooperate and allow the customer involved to exchange the fabric she bought with one that did not have an image of Jesus imprinted on it.
He also confirmed that PPIM had received a report from the customer regarding the matter, two days ago.

A snapshot of the cloth allegedly featuring a printed image of ‘Jesus Christ,’ as reported in Sinar Harian on May 1, 2016.
…
KUALA LUMPUR, May 1 — A Muslim woman claimed to have bought a piece of cloth imprinted with the image of Jesus Christ from a local store here, and suggested there may be ulterior motives in its availability in the market.
Aizawati Che Salleh, who is in her 40s, said she had bought the three-metre-long cloth at a store in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman with the intention of making clothes for the upcoming Syawal celebrations, Malay daily Sinar Harian reported today.
“Usually, before buying, I will first look at the quality and pattern but everything seemed fine. But upon returning to the office, my friend noticed the hidden pattern,” she was quoted as saying by the daily, which also described her as a “victim”.
She questioned the motive behind the sale of the cloth.
…
Aizawati, who said she was a frequent visitor to the cloth store, reportedly does not plan to return the item.
“Maybe, I will refer this matter to the Muslim Consumers Association for their further action,” she was quoted saying.
Sinar Harian did not name the store, but showed a close-up of the cloth that appeared to carry an image of a shepherd with a sheep.
