  "account": "Mydin has instructed all its stores to cease selling a Jalur Gemilang-themed tudung (headscarf) following a customer's discovery of an apparent error in the 14-point star design, according to the wire service report. The retailer explained that the error stemmed from a printing mistake by its supplier, affirming that it was taking steps to prevent future occurrences. Mydin expressed regret for the oversight, acknowledging feedback on the matter. The issue came to light when a Threads user, @faizfaisal.png, noticed the product at Mydin's Subang Jaya outlet and questioned the retailer's oversight. The user pointed out that the star design could be seen as disrespectful to the Jalur Gemilang and questioned the retailer's pre-sale checks. Mydin's decision to halt sales followed the customer's complaint, with the retailer stating that measures would be implemented to prevent similar mistakes in the future.",
