A teacher has lodged a police report after she found the building blocks she had bought for her youngest son contained elements which touched on the sensitivities of Muslims.

Mahnun Mat Isa, 40, said she was surprised to find the word 'Allah' and 'Muhammad' sticking to a banner held by a 'terrorist-like' character in the game set.

"What's more shocking is that the terrorist character resembled a  man with a head cloth," she said, adding that the toy bought at a toy shop in Taiping was made in China.

"I came to know about it when my son who was playing with the toy showed me the 'terrorist' character  holding a banner which displayed the words 'Allah' and 'Muhammad," she told reporters in Perak.  

Mahnun said she immediately lodged a police report and informed the Perak Islamic Religious Council (Maipk) in Parit Buntar on May 25.

Meanwhile, Kerian police chief Supt Omar Bakhtiar Yaacob, when contacted, confirmed receiving a report from the teacher.
