The promotion sparked\ncontroversy because it involved a challenge to recite Surah Ad-Dhuha\nwith a bottle of alcohol as the prize. Maman described the act as a\ndespicable deed that insulted the sanctity of the Quran. \u201cSuch a\npromotion is not only unethical but also deeply hurts the feelings of\nMuslims and is a form of insult to the sanctity of the Quran,\u201d he said\nin a statement on Tuesday, 11 August 2026. The PKB politician stressed\nthat the freedom to be creative and conduct marketing must not ignore\nreligious sensitivities. He urged the event organisers and the\npromotional team to immediately provide clarification and take\nresponsibility for their actions. \u201cThis must serve as a lesson for all\nparties. Unethical promotional activities that violate religious norms\nmust not be repeated just to chase public attention and virality,\u201d he\nasserted.<\/p>",
