No truth to ‘binning of Quran’ claim, says Tesco

Hypermarket chain Tesco has denied claims that its staff disposed a copy of the Quran and prayer clothes taken from a surau for women at its Mutiara Damansara outlet.

This allegation has been widely circulated online.

“We were informed of this rumour involving the surau for females at Tesco Extra Mutiara Damansara, which was circulated on social media, especially Facebook.

“We would like to explain that the incident is not true and was misinterpreted. The matter has been resolved internally,” Tesco public relations officer Siti Haniza Ab Rahman said in a statement to Malaysiakini.

 Siti Haniza also urged members of the public to be more responsible in sharing information.
