"There was no offence meant," Khong told 9News."I don't believe it was discrimination, rather I was just obeying the word of god."
Kwik Kopy management has since denounced Khong's "position" and said it was not reflective of the company's values and code of conduct. Rejecting the job may also be unlawful, with the 1984 Sex Discrimination Act stating that it is illegal to refuse goods or services based on sexuality or gender.
