Malaysia arrests 4 foreigners for message insulting Islam on Domino’s Pizza receipt

Hamzah told reporters at the state police headquarters in Penang Road on Thursday that three of the suspects had been remanded in custody until June 3, while the 67-year-old was released on police bail .

Statements were also recorded from several other witnesses, he added.

Last week, police opened an investigation into a derogatory message mocking Islam printed on a pizzeria receipt.

Superintendent Kamarul Rizal Jenal said the incident allegedly occurred on Kenari Avenue around 3:05 p.m. on May 15.

He said investigations revealed an order was received through the Domino’s app and contained offensive words in the remarks section of the order.

A photo of the receipt was later posted to X (formerly Twitter) on May 16.

“We do not tolerate discrimination or aggression of any kind, whether directed against our team, our customers or members of our community,” Domino’s said in a statement last Thursday.

Domino’s added that appropriate action was taken against the customer and the staff member involved.

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

“We are also disappointed that a member of our team felt it appropriate to share this online, including the customer’s personal information,” the statement said.

The case is being investigated under Section 298 of the Penal Code and Section 14 of the Minor Offenses Act for insulting religious sentiments and using insulting or abusive language with intent to cause a breakdown of public order.
