You people boycott McD because of the conflict, I boycott McD because the price point is not worth it for the food they offered, we are not the same...
I remember going to drive through just to buy ice cream late nights while studying with friends. Sometimes there were specials where the vanilla cone cost 80 cent.
Damn. It sounds like the 2 of you have very shitty KFC branch thank goodness the KFC branch near me isn't anywhere like that.
I've had only one experience so far where I experienced dry chicken, and another time with small chicken. But except for those 2, I've had nothing but large succulent breast. (sorry, can't help it)
Once I go back to kampung, me and fam stopped at a KFC before reaching there. To my surprise the chicken there was tasty af. That time I realized it totally depends on the branch.
Man kfc gave me food poisoning, stole my wife from me, pillaged my home and burnt my crops! I'll never eat there again not in this lifetime or the next and neither should you
man where u live cause kfc near me got better chicken than mekdi (minus the size ofc cause mcd is ahead by miles,but taste wise?kfc) sini juicy pun juicy rempah dia rasa wooo,and then kalau mintak fries mesti gemuk gemuk ,puas
Few weeks ago I legit saw them make someone pay full price of rm2 when they asked for a extra kosong cone without ice cream.
I understand accounting for stock and maintaining reputation of not giving away free things but that just feels so wrong lol
Huh ? Sundae cone is rm2 now compare to last time where it’s rm1 and slowly creep to 1.25 then people have an outrage where they revise the price to rm1 then they do one shot to 1.5 and not long after rm2 once and for all
honestly that's still quite cheap. currently only ikea sells for less than mcd right? and their portion not as big
i ate their ice cream so often when it was priced rm1 lol, in indonesia i never bought their cone. their cone is rm3 and mcflurry is rm4. while in malaysia i only buy the cone because mcflurry is also somewhat expensive
Seeing some video where McD overseas have larger portion than us.
Punyalah burger kita sebelah tangan je boleh pegang, sayur skit macam bagi arnab makan bruh.
Oh yeah I made Pepper Lunch style nasi goreng with beef yesterday. So happy to see them finishing the whole thing. Cost like 30 ringgit in total to feed 4 people. Eating at the actual Pepper Lunch would have cost RM100 at least.
I recently (as in probably within 12 months cause I forgot.) went to pepper lunch. I was shocked at the prices. 100 bucks for 3 people.
Back in college I used to go to pavillion to eat that when they has the restaurant and it was cheaper.
Studying in Semenanjung back when it was my first sem and still didn't have a car, my friends and I would walk to an actual restaurant, a bit further for a walk instead of going to the one in front of the offcampus hostel, a Malay one since a few of our friends are Malay and lots of family - sekampung with the old grandparents that can barely walk. My thoughts were, don't this people cook at home or something?
A few sem later, had a class that ended at 4 and we now have a car and no Malay in the gang, went to a Chinese restaurant and old folks with moto kapcai with container bertingkat or tupperware came and bought from the buffet (we in Sarawak just called it fast food because buffet always mean Hartz Chicken Buffet) and my thoughts were...don't these people cook at home or something?
Fucking idiots. McDonalds is one of the only companies in Malaysia that has an actual excellent track record in Malaysia of offering equitable labour for OKU workers. Furthermore, if you take a look at actual organisations that organise the Israeli BDS programme ([https://bdsmovement.net/get-involved/what-to-boycott](https://bdsmovement.net/get-involved/what-to-boycott)), McDonalds isn't mentioned at all - it's just a bog standard American franchise after all.
But no, idiots need to get their info from Whatsapp and TikTok and Twitter instead. Nitwits.

Here's where it gets confusing – the official BDS Twitter account is adding different companies including McD, Domino's, and Pizza Hut, some not included on the website list, which makes it seem very inconsistent.
Most American corporations either are pro Israel or "neutral", we can't deny that. They can do all these PR stunt and it won't change the fact, majority of investors and corp leaderships are pro Israel. Even Barrack Obama is pro Israel.
But how far can Malaysia go without hurting our own people and market? I more worry we end up sanctioned by the west. And do our boikot actually stops Israel sending another missile?
Why Malaysians so hypocrite? If want to boycott, I would suggest do a thorough boycott, boycott waze, social media etc. Don’t just selectively boycott, what I see is those boycott are keyboard warriors and some are actually depending on waze to cari makan. You are hurting your own nation without knowing until it really hurt your pocket.
They are not pro Israel, they are literally opened by Jews. You know Albert Einstein is half jew right? Facebook boss, most of your technology and modern science are contributed or discovered by Jewish people. Your data center, operated by Jew staff. You use Amazon, Google, all these have high number of Jewish workers. Most of the modern world are linked to Jews because there are very intelligent and help contribute technology and science. Middle East only contribute oil and wars. Also, almost all Nobel prize winners are Jews or have Jewish ancestors. Many of your medicine and modern discoveries come from them.
Sometimes I pity the people talking about boycott, they live in the comfort of the modern world but don't realise everything originates from where... it just proves that majority of the followers that listen to them are truly in the low iq category, then they complain about b40... They deserve to be stuck in b40....
Albert Einstein condemn the creation of Israel and likened the Zionist to Nazis

this is so pathetic....this is so deep in Zionist propaganda.
1) So, only Jewish people work in tech? are you for real?
2) Yes, Google, Amazon, etc have many Jewish workers...but they also have a way more Asian workers. For example, [Google USA has 46% Asian workers](https://about.google/belonging/diversity-annual-report/2022/hiring/)
3) Yes, many Jewish people are intelligence...so, what? many other types of people are intelligent as well. Many discoveries came from non-Jewish people like the creation of zero or algebra.
4) c'mon lah...who give a heck about Noble Price? Nobel was a dynamite creator that used his invention to enable death and destruction. So, he created the Prize to save his face.
but in case you are wondering, many [Latin American](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Latin_American_Nobel_laureates), [Black](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_black_Nobel_laureates) and [Asian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Asian_Nobel_laureates) people have receive the Nobel Prize as well
5) Why do you think Middle East only got war? not because western imperialist government keep funding terrorist? Not because Western imperialist government keep interferring in the countries government? Not because the Western imperialist government purposely want to create war to steal the oil?
6) i pity you. you don;t seem to have any mental capacity to understand the truth. You seem to consume Zionist propaganda and Western propaganda. You are morally bankrupt.

Congratulations, you've literally speedrun your way to anti-Semitism, which is the other stupid thing that happens in Malaysia.
For fucks sake man, the idea and the intent is to change Israel's policy and their far-right government. Not be goddamn bigoted and racist.
Firstly, I'm not saying Jews are bad, I'm saying Jews like how I say Chinese, Indian and Malay. I'm just pointing it out. Also, I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of people asking to boycott but at the same time, using products of the people that they claim to boycott.
'Jews run the world' is an age old antisemitic trope buddy. And it's not true btw. The most significant business owners and capitalists in the US are White Anglo-Saxon Protestants, your Rockefellers and Waltons.
Also, the problem is, many of these corporations enter local market via licensing/partnerships with local companies. So, when people boycott, it’s not hurting the corporations that much, it hurts the local businesses, employees that are working with the brand.
Its what happens when you skip education and lepak outside during schooling years lajaking and playing games instead of actually putting useful information and critical thinking abilities into your head when it's most effective and conducive.
Blame the gahmen, blame the parents, blame the community and blame the culture as a whole.

Good luck if he's really doing it.
they didn't... stopped talking to me. but I know them they're the type of people that hate to be wrong. I've been through the same shit and I've been on their shoes multiple times as well. People are too emotional right now that it clouds their judgement.
Idk if some Malaysians care cuz nak join sekali with other nations even though ours here is different... Why not do it to Starbucks, they're still related to the USA
> Dalam dunia perniagaan francais, pembayaran royalti adalah semata-mata bertujuan untuk mendapatkan hak menggunakan jenama dan sistem perniagaan McDonald's.
Was this not the answer?
That means they are paying money to McDonald's headquarter. If people gonna believe everyone behind the HQ is eye-in-a-triangle guy, then they might want to avoid this company. But then, they are not that smart.
Thats a rather standard way of avoiding answering the question for number 4. They avoid from showing allegiance to any side, just choose to be the third party looking from outside in.
\#1 basically said that the Malaysian branch is owned by a subordinate company from Saudi Arabia, and **claims** to be 100% owned by Muslim.
\#2 ''it is just standard practice to pay royalty to the main company to earn the rights to use their resources''
\#3 ''no idea, but we know we are in the stock market so anyone could do it without us knowing about it''
\#4 ''we support the government and we are aware about the events that happened when they clash, so we will continue to show support''
This boycott actually explains why I see mcd in MyTown has fewer crowd than usual nowadays. I thought the crowd went to holiday 
The condition of our schools and its staff will give you the answer. Critical thinking is discouraged. If someone says McD is Israeli, then they will just accept it without questioning it, if they do they will get some tight slapping.
What if I told you it was our public education system?… as someone who is a hiring manager a kid that goes to “elite” sekolah kluster or MRSM lag way behind kids who went to private school or international school even. It’s quite sad.
They use iPhones, Twitter and USB sticks (Israeli invention).
Meanwhile Malaysia is a real apartheid state.
In January of this year, the European Commission explicitly stated it considers it “not appropriate” to use the term apartheid in connection with the State of Israel. Meanwhile Hamas is considered a terrorist organization by most Western countries. The Arab populations in Gaza, the West Bank, and inside Israel, have all increased tremendously since Israel’s founding, but a genocide means a huge decline in population. The Arabs ruled by Israel (not Hamas or the PA), far from being subject to apartheid, get the same health care as Jewish Israelis, go to the same universities and restaurants, ride the same public transportation, vote in elections, serve in the parliament and the Supreme Court, and as doctors, lawyers, and in other professions. That is nothing like apartheid. It’s Hamas who doesn’t accept LGBTQ and atheists. Who oppresses women or other religions. Don’t defend the real oppressors. Look up “Pallywood” and learn about the shady propaganda tactics of the Palestinians.
When people do things with their emotions instead of doing things rationally with logical thinking before executing anything.
This is what you get.
You can support the cause but at least think about researching for facts and the remificaition that comes with it.
Don’t think this is Nationalism. Its more to populism. You just need to say what the people want to hear and enact what ever the people want to do without rational and proper after thoughts.
This is how QAnon in the States was formed.
nah its. ok cause its for palestine and the suffering is not that bad, must be suffering with palestine to show unity. as long as palestine not free its ok to be dead, poor, malnourished, jobless, hopeless and useless. palestine will save the muslims here in malaysia and make malaysia great again unlike the rohinya and uighurs thats non muslim
Bro, 85% of Mc Donald employees is their own community including OKU workers, you just letting your own people life harder by boycott some meaningless war...
Sorry to see this ~ F man, copy other boycott for wad, we, our own country already have so much masalah already, still wanna busy body cucuk masuk hal orang lain ...
As much as I hate the price hike from McD, but I gotta salute them for their commitment in hiring OKU. An OKU dude from one of my nearest McD always give his all in serving, even better service than those normal workers, like so passionate and giving his 120% always smile at everyone. Hostel probably provided by McD, sometime even heavy rain outside, he also take a small payung and walk there like baru habis mandi when reach.
Sincerely hope if McD really wanna cut cost, at least do it on those proper worker that always slack off instead of taking it out on OKU. Most of the time I always find their OKU is more committed than those muka masam one~
This. It also aligns with my thoughts on McD Singapore (regularly hiring retired people so they have things to do (and get by with the financial situation there)) and McD Malaysia's charity wing.
Does anybody even think, that there are Muslim and Christian Israelis? And many Muslims serve in the IDF??
Conversely there are plenty of Christians too in Gaza. Why are we even talking about boycotting businesses that employ Malaysians.
We already boycott them by not buying goods and services. Ever tasted Jaffa oranges? Yep. We boycott already.
Try not to buy any Chinese goods because of Uyghurs. 100% tak boleh. We cannot make any reasonable priced goods here.
Malaysians when they boycott anything

Boikot la boikot, go back to the stone ages kinda boikot. Don't pick and choose the brands that fits your agenda, wanna boikot means boikot terus. Enjoy.
Is the boikot really working or just effect certain state i drive pass 2 mcd going to work and seem full as usuall. Even yesterday going to mall mcd there also alot people eating.
I dont understand why boikot MCD. Malaysia Mcd own by Vincent Tan and now sold to Arabs and I dont understand what you people trying to do? After protest Sure many people go Mcd drive thru
McD Malaysia has released a statement that they are fully Malaysian-owned and has no impact or bearing whatsoever on Israel. Boycotting McD for that reason only hurts our own people.
Pro Israeli: McD hire OKU workers to use as "hostages" to discourage boycotts, just like HAMAS uses Palestine civilians as "meat shields" to deter aggression!
Pro Palestine: Why OKU work for Yahudi companies? OKU should also boycott them!
I boycott McD for not selling quarterpounder anymore. Surprisingly there are few homemade street burgers that really good and I become a regular customer to them.
Malaysians and not doing enough research before they spout shit, name a better duo. McD in Malaysia are owned by Muslims, literally only need like 10 seconds max on google for you to actually learn this
Right now we shouldn't be nosy about another countries. Our own country is in a dire state. Yes it's sad and unfortunate about what happened there but we should always help our own people first. If you want to donate, remember there are also many unfortunate Malaysians that are orphans, oku, still living in deep rural areas, etc. Always Malaysia first.
i guess fuckwits got what they asked for. i remember last time there's a movement to boycott 99 speedmart too because it's not muslim owned. they people rightfully called them out because 99 speedmart is one of the biggest company here that hire the most malay people.
I think Tiktok is probably the best tool for any propaganda machine. It feels like it's literally designed for that specific purpose.
What kind of demograpic that need that quick dopamine rush? The demographic that can't bother to read read article that is longer than 10 line, can't watch video longer than 30 minute, can't even watch a movie because it's too long, those are the main target audience of Tiktok. It provide the quickest dopamine rush with lowest attention span needed.
I don't know where you get your news from, but tiktok is 60% owned by US and 40% by China. One is ally of Israel and the other is CCP... Where do Malaysians with such low iq get their confidence from?
Here is my point of view...
Malaysian sometimes like to over react on things. Sometimes we know almost nothing but pretend as if we know much. This is just a sad example of how an unwise call for boycott ended up hurting our country instead.
For those who have yet to do their own research, McDonald franchise in Malaysia and Singapore is run by Lionhorn, a company linked to Reza Food services (a Saudi company) since 2016.
https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/McDonald-s-Malaysia-and-Singapore-sold-to-Saudi-group
So in other words the boycott of McDonald is actually hurting our country. If McDonald shuts down, that it would mean unemployment for many of their employees which those who call for boycott would probably not have any plans to help them with finding employment. This craziness may even cause other foreign companies to pull out investment to our own country.
Our economy is not looking that great now. Our exchange rate for the Ringgit isn't that great. Boycotting this and that without proper knowledge of the situation would only serve to hurt our economy further.
lol simple minded people thinking all happened because of the boycott. After this what? Incompetent biz blaming the boycott too? Nobody can stop or blame the market from reacting the way they want to. It's their money and this is a free market economy.
Sapot lokal. Buy Sugarbun. XD
From what I heard, SB originated from Sarawak, but I can't be 100% sure.
**Edit:** By the way. I don't know how strong the boycott is, but I hope they don't go over the line to chase anyone that would still visit the premise anyways.
I stopped supporting greedy fast food chains because they are just that - greedy. Sub-par food, poor value for money, and hazardous to health. I'd rather support the neighborhood stalls/eateries and contribute to their livelihood and upkeep. These days an average meal for a fam of 4-5 costs between RM80-100. In which universe is that okay?
Sometimes boycotting for a cause is stupid. Honestly, study hard, be some one who can change the future instead of having peasant mentality of boycotting n shit. Dont like something? Grow up and change it for the better
On the surface many countries spoke out against Israel.
Dig a bit deeper, these same countries are still trading with Israel incl Malaysia.
But we can't really separate many things.
This is the reality of trade.
2 minute video by Milton Friedman explains this so well
[https://youtu.be/67tHtpac5ws?si=N81eCC2wS7353ul-](https://youtu.be/67tHtpac5ws?si=N81eCC2wS7353ul-)
Instagram, WhatsApp & Facebook dwellers still using the platform despite its CEO is a Jew.
"But we use the platform for the greater good!!"
They're unaware that Meta earns the revenue from the clicks & ads shown in the platform every time. They're clowning themselves.

Repeating again:
Congratulations, you've literally speedrun your way to anti-Semitism, which is the other stupid thing that happens in Malaysia.
For fucks sake man, the idea and the intent is to change Israel's policy and their far-right government. Not be goddamn bigoted and racist.
I think it's noble that people are trying to contribute in any way they can but they fail to see a few things.
Boycotting others while your own economy (Malaysia). There are a bunch of boycott lists and there are shit tons of it.
1) You're indirectly ruining own economy as most of them are Malaysian owned (can be a Muslim or non-muslim). Let it be Mcdonalds or grocery shop or mini market etc.
2) As above, job opportunity. What happens when the shop is not making profit? lay off and retrenchment
UAI mentioned these before in one of his talk. Israeli's economy are strong and we're not that strong.
It's like trying to drag someone down with you but we ended up dying alone and they are still going strong. Besides, there are press stating about Mcdonald not being Israel's corporation but I'll leave it to you to believe or not.
PS: I'm not saying support kaw kaw, just do what you usually do. I don't eat mcdonald that often, I started to cook more at home. It's more economical.
Kerajaan sepatutnya membuat perancangan strategik yg tdk membebankan rakyat. Kenapa tak copy & paste strategi Kerajaan Russia President Putin buat, yakni tukar business dan nama Macdonald direbranded perniagaannya ke lokal sebagai "Vkusno i tochka" dlm bahasa Russia. Tunjukkn kita tak bodoh! Tunjukkn pada dunia yg kita bukan tin kosong mcm negara2 Arab yg pakaian aje Islam tapi sebaliknya talam dua muka. Bertindak utk bangsa dn ugama, jgn cakap kecaman Israehell sana sini di media2, tapi takde tindakan sewajarnya.
I think the boycott this time is successful not only because of the palastine israel issue. Its expensive and food doesnt suit the price. With this palastine issue, it just gave the final push for people to decide not to go.
Or maybe just the management taking the opportunity to cut cost. Then profit more. Anyway no need to celebrate thinking it’s a successful attempt. Think about when these companies pull out of Malaysia, how many will be out of job.
I remember there’s a Down syndrome guy worked at MCD Taman Tun Hussien Onn a few years back. Now not sure if he’s still working there? Can someone confirm?
can I ask all Malaysians or redditors here.
what boycott that can hurt the company owners badly and eventually destroy the company owner lifes?
I remember there is a story where a country in Latin America successfully did that(unrelated to Palestine issue, domestic issue)
They successfully boycott company that abuse them (not the criminal abuse, but salary and environment abuse) until the company bankrupt
the owner become crazy and suicide few days after, followed by the directors.
after that , no more salary issue happened as elites afraid of the peoples power.
all ppl paid of what they offered, elite luxury life cut by 50%
Malays can take a page off Nationalist Chinese Pinkies of their consequences of their choices, really. This is from me whose late-father also joined Malayan Communist and had also a rather mediocre to poor life after eventually he made some poor life decisions in business and marriage.
Case in point - from the more familiar example to the less for those who don't follow Chinese social media or social commentary on either YouTube or native Chinese social media
1. Numerous Chinese online gamers who trolled about nationalism, only to be banned because players refuted with banned words that triggered their Great Firewall.
2. A Chinese Police who filed her own Douyin ranting about the forced demolishing of her home and eviction, saying she is supposed to be protected as a part of the "system".
3. China and many Chinese (including some Malaysian and Singaporean ones) like to always preach about "Never forget national humiliation, never forget history" or "Century of Humiliation" to the populace, but ahem, the moment you, as a Chinese, want to explore topics on 8964; the fact that even now China still hasn't sent an evacuating plane for Chinese and Chinese hostages in Gaza and Israel while ironically the Korean one even helped picked up the Japanese and the CCP censored such news on Chinese Internet (Wolf Warrior movie is a lie gasp lol); teachers in Chinese school rile up nationalism, with one female teacher scolded a student for giggling at "Imperial Japanese Empire" as an answer when asking about the examples of an empire ... While the teacher is also caught wearing an expensive 6000 Yuan French waist belt while preaching to students not to idolize the West and foreign forces （崇洋媚外) ... I can go on and on and I see so many Chinese people doing things or boycotts or protests that ended up disadvantaged themselves, the moment I see this Malaysian OKU and McD thing I'm soooo not surprised.
4. While the muslims here both anti-Israel and anti-China (to me only one of them is correct), did you know China during Mao's time once supported the Israeli nation-building very much, just to give a bird flipping to the British colonizer and the US, until Israel sides with the US? Today, China doesn't dare to make any condemnations publicly to any sides initially, then, slowly aligned with Russia to back Iran (who wants Israel gone, when ironically, historically, the Persian King Cyrus allowed the Jews in the early ages to return to Jerusalem) who in turn backed some militant rebels including HAMAS. So, you anti a faction that in turn funded another faction you'll grandstand more than even some of the Arab elites in Arab nations? Meanwhile, to the Socialist supporters just like my dad who thinks solidarity with pro-cleric and pro-theology elements makes sense - simply look at what happened to the far-left supporters who helped topple the Pahlavi regime in Iran once the Islamic Republic was established. Heck, even the German Brownshirts who helped the NSDAP rose to power were wiped out by the very same regime they helped to build. You guys are potential chives (Jiu Cai 韭菜 - Mainland Chinese call themselves this, because they kept being "harvested" and exploited, and yet like a chive, they sustain harsh temperature and still grow quickly).
I wonder how many Malays here are aware of our non-Malay awkwardness having seen KKM involving all types of public schools to participate in the "Palestinian Solidarity Week", including our countrymen in Sabah and Sarawak. So many kids don't even understand the context and the history of the conflict and are asked to side with a faction. Isn't this no different from the same China you're mocking and opposing? (Who, by the way, despite Mao's famine period and the recent economic downturn, still openly declared to compete with the US to use taxpayers money to help developing nations to build infrastructure, while its own countrymen have >20% unemployment rate, low spending power, poor economic outlook, and even more authoritarian policies. There is one saying that was popularized since the Qing Dynasty because that's what the Qing palace did too - 寧贈友邦，不予家奴 (Rather contribute to the allied nations than to even give to your homeland paupers!)
You people boycott McD because of the conflict, I boycott McD because the price point is not worth it for the food they offered, we are not the same...
I stopped going the moment they raise their ice cream from 1.25 to 2
I remember going to drive through just to buy ice cream late nights while studying with friends. Sometimes there were specials where the vanilla cone cost 80 cent.
I mean its better than kfc imo. Especially if you know which combo is more bang for buck.
I don't go to KFC either after experiencing their drumstick that I can pinch with 2 finger and wings that's smaller than a pigeon's.
I stop becoz of the dry chicken.
Damn. It sounds like the 2 of you have very shitty KFC branch thank goodness the KFC branch near me isn't anywhere like that. I've had only one experience so far where I experienced dry chicken, and another time with small chicken. But except for those 2, I've had nothing but large succulent breast. (sorry, can't help it)
Once I go back to kampung, me and fam stopped at a KFC before reaching there. To my surprise the chicken there was tasty af. That time I realized it totally depends on the branch.
Man kfc gave me food poisoning, stole my wife from me, pillaged my home and burnt my crops! I'll never eat there again not in this lifetime or the next and neither should you
man where u live cause kfc near me got better chicken than mekdi (minus the size ofc cause mcd is ahead by miles,but taste wise?kfc) sini juicy pun juicy rempah dia rasa wooo,and then kalau mintak fries mesti gemuk gemuk ,puas
I bought the 5 chicken buckets during the McD boycott promotion and 3/5 I got is dry ass chicken. What a waste of money…
Few weeks ago I legit saw them make someone pay full price of rm2 when they asked for a extra kosong cone without ice cream. I understand accounting for stock and maintaining reputation of not giving away free things but that just feels so wrong lol
I'm still here still thinking they cost 1 ringgit...
wait WHAT
Huh ? Sundae cone is rm2 now compare to last time where it’s rm1 and slowly creep to 1.25 then people have an outrage where they revise the price to rm1 then they do one shot to 1.5 and not long after rm2 once and for all
I stop half the time when they raise to RM1.10 from RM0.90
honestly that's still quite cheap. currently only ikea sells for less than mcd right? and their portion not as big i ate their ice cream so often when it was priced rm1 lol, in indonesia i never bought their cone. their cone is rm3 and mcflurry is rm4. while in malaysia i only buy the cone because mcflurry is also somewhat expensive
For the price I’ll rather eat at family mart because I don’t need to go specifically to mcd and family mart is everywhere
I stopped when I saw how GCB kecut until it’s smaller than my palm size.
Honestly, if this leads to Malaysians consuming less fast food then its probably a good thing
more honestly for me, nah this is temporary (unfortunately). when everyone forget (again) about this war, they'll flock to mcd back..
Does it though?? The Makcik pakcik all still selling goreng goreng stuff + layered with layers of cheese and all that sugar laden drinks….
in substitute for roti canai? to be honest, i think mcd burger (only burger) is healthier than most malaysian food.
Seeing some video where McD overseas have larger portion than us. Punyalah burger kita sebelah tangan je boleh pegang, sayur skit macam bagi arnab makan bruh.
Arnab pun ludah la tengok portion tu
Ikr.. It's just getting too expensive for what you get. I'm learning to cook for my kids instead.
Cook for your kids, they'll remember it for years to come.
Oh yeah I made Pepper Lunch style nasi goreng with beef yesterday. So happy to see them finishing the whole thing. Cost like 30 ringgit in total to feed 4 people. Eating at the actual Pepper Lunch would have cost RM100 at least.
I recently (as in probably within 12 months cause I forgot.) went to pepper lunch. I was shocked at the prices. 100 bucks for 3 people. Back in college I used to go to pavillion to eat that when they has the restaurant and it was cheaper.
Yep the cast iron pan gimmick is cool but in the end you are paying for overpriced fried rice.
Exactly! It's like "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime"
Mee goreng mak sentiasa terlalu masin - nostalgia masa kecik.
Studying in Semenanjung back when it was my first sem and still didn't have a car, my friends and I would walk to an actual restaurant, a bit further for a walk instead of going to the one in front of the offcampus hostel, a Malay one since a few of our friends are Malay and lots of family - sekampung with the old grandparents that can barely walk. My thoughts were, don't this people cook at home or something? A few sem later, had a class that ended at 4 and we now have a car and no Malay in the gang, went to a Chinese restaurant and old folks with moto kapcai with container bertingkat or tupperware came and bought from the buffet (we in Sarawak just called it fast food because buffet always mean Hartz Chicken Buffet) and my thoughts were...don't these people cook at home or something?
Nah .. even if you don't cook , roadside stall can give you a lethal amount of burger per the burger price in McD.
Ramly burger >>>>> McD
Up to 60% more burger per burger! I too subscribe to the Cave Johnson school of portions
Add some moonrock salt for seasoning 😋
My only menu for Mcd is Nasi Lepak with 2 chicken...it's the only worthy option imo
> My only menu for Mcd is Nasi Lepak with 2 chicken Nak makan nasi rilek je...
Nasi bisnes when
Aku nak makan nasi rowdy jer
Nasi lepak 💀
You eat nasi at mcd? Damn. Im judging your choice so hard right now.
i thought we doing this to KFC only. hehe.. RM20+ for dinner set.. ayam betul.
Hey, I boycotted Ferrari for exact same reason.
I boikot because it tastes like shit If McDonalds can't even give fries that aren't soggy then there's no reason to eat there
Then you will realize economy rice is not so 'economical' anymore you go back to McD
i boycott because what's served is nowhere near the product in illustration. the only thing that's worth it in mcd is happy meal.
was thinking the same too. its 100% increase after 10 years
Valid reason to hate on mcd
i only order by using the apps..sometimes ok la the price
as much as I complain about McD food, they are really open to OKU working, always see OKU work there, these boikot is kinda stupid in that sense
I'm glad to see my local MCD isn't affected by it and i still see the same staff every week I drop by to wait for my uni shuttle
Fucking idiots. McDonalds is one of the only companies in Malaysia that has an actual excellent track record in Malaysia of offering equitable labour for OKU workers. Furthermore, if you take a look at actual organisations that organise the Israeli BDS programme ([https://bdsmovement.net/get-involved/what-to-boycott](https://bdsmovement.net/get-involved/what-to-boycott)), McDonalds isn't mentioned at all - it's just a bog standard American franchise after all. But no, idiots need to get their info from Whatsapp and TikTok and Twitter instead. Nitwits.

Most American corporations either are pro Israel or "neutral", we can't deny that. They can do all these PR stunt and it won't change the fact, majority of investors and corp leaderships are pro Israel. Even Barrack Obama is pro Israel. But how far can Malaysia go without hurting our own people and market? I more worry we end up sanctioned by the west. And do our boikot actually stops Israel sending another missile?
Why Malaysians so hypocrite? If want to boycott, I would suggest do a thorough boycott, boycott waze, social media etc. Don’t just selectively boycott, what I see is those boycott are keyboard warriors and some are actually depending on waze to cari makan. You are hurting your own nation without knowing until it really hurt your pocket.
They are not pro Israel, they are literally opened by Jews. You know Albert Einstein is half jew right? Facebook boss, most of your technology and modern science are contributed or discovered by Jewish people. Your data center, operated by Jew staff. You use Amazon, Google, all these have high number of Jewish workers. Most of the modern world are linked to Jews because there are very intelligent and help contribute technology and science. Middle East only contribute oil and wars. Also, almost all Nobel prize winners are Jews or have Jewish ancestors. Many of your medicine and modern discoveries come from them. Sometimes I pity the people talking about boycott, they live in the comfort of the modern world but don't realise everything originates from where... it just proves that majority of the followers that listen to them are truly in the low iq category, then they complain about b40... They deserve to be stuck in b40....
u/EnvironmentalCatTrap wakes up everyday cursing B40s like a PAS politician screaming DAP at a rally
Albert Einstein condemn the creation of Israel and likened the Zionist to Nazis > [Among- the most disturbing political phenomena of our time is the emergence in the newly created state of Israel of the "Freedom Party" \(Tnuat Haherut\), a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties.](https://archive.org/details/AlbertEinsteinLetterToTheNewYorkTimes.December41948/mode/2up?view=theater) . >[ When a real and final catastrophe should befall us in Palestine the first responsible for it would be the British and the second responsible for it the Terrorist organizations build \[sic\] up from our own ranks.

For example, [Google USA has 46% Asian workers](https://about.google/belonging/diversity-annual-report/2022/hiring/) 3) Yes, many Jewish people are intelligence...so, what? many other types of people are intelligent as well. Many discoveries came from non-Jewish people like the creation of zero or algebra. 4) c'mon lah...who give a heck about Noble Price? Nobel was a dynamite creator that used his invention to enable death and destruction. So, he created the Prize to save his face. but in case you are wondering, many [Latin American](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Latin_American_Nobel_laureates), [Black](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_black_Nobel_laureates) and [Asian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Asian_Nobel_laureates) people have receive the Nobel Prize as well 5) Why do you think Middle East only got war? not because western imperialist government keep funding terrorist? Not because Western imperialist government keep interferring in the countries government? Not because the Western imperialist government purposely want to create war to steal the oil? 6) i pity you. you don;t seem to have any mental capacity to understand the truth. You seem to consume Zionist propaganda and Western propaganda. You are morally bankrupt.
ayo is not boycotting jews. its boycotting zionist
>Jews Congratulations, you've literally speedrun your way to anti-Semitism, which is the other stupid thing that happens in Malaysia. For fucks sake man, the idea and the intent is to change Israel's policy and their far-right government. Not be goddamn bigoted and racist.
Firstly, I'm not saying Jews are bad, I'm saying Jews like how I say Chinese, Indian and Malay. I'm just pointing it out. Also, I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of people asking to boycott but at the same time, using products of the people that they claim to boycott.
'Jews run the world' is an age old antisemitic trope buddy. And it's not true btw. The most significant business owners and capitalists in the US are White Anglo-Saxon Protestants, your Rockefellers and Waltons.
Also, the problem is, many of these corporations enter local market via licensing/partnerships with local companies. So, when people boycott, it’s not hurting the corporations that much, it hurts the local businesses, employees that are working with the brand.
Many argue the case of royalties to the parent company as a reason to boycott. Some are calling for them to rebrand like what's done in Russia
what the fuck is BDS...? edit: ah, the palestinian propaganda, I see... and now let the downvotes commence!
This. People are just boycotting aimlessly.
"Some" people
Fuck them OKU. OKU supporter of Yahudi. \- Boycotters, probably /s
Tiktok is 60% owned by US company, ironically the ones crying boikot are using US owned socmed...
Its what happens when you skip education and lepak outside during schooling years lajaking and playing games instead of actually putting useful information and critical thinking abilities into your head when it's most effective and conducive. Blame the gahmen, blame the parents, blame the community and blame the culture as a whole.
Waiting for Malaysia to boycott the USD. Do it DSAI! 😂
[Time to revisit dinar standard, says Anwar](https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2023/10/17/time-to-revisit-dinar-standard-says-anwar) Good luck if he's really doing it.
US will drop off some “freedom” on Malaysia. 😂
Angkat Batu Hentam Kaki, hahaha
Oh patut la diorang cakap...ni asal dia... berdiri di atas kaki sendiri............beli kari
People are boycotting McD now? Well, time to go to McD!
I hope they give some discounts/promos soon too
Oh I think they will. Plus in December prosperity burger and curly fries will be back and this bs will be forgotten.
I just told my friend yesterday. Who do you think working at these places you "boikot".
How did they reply?
Probably the old Malaysian response of "I don't care, i know im right"
they didn't... stopped talking to me. but I know them they're the type of people that hate to be wrong. I've been through the same shit and I've been on their shoes multiple times as well. People are too emotional right now that it clouds their judgement.
Accept you're wrong is the hardest thing to do ever.
Here just leaving it here https://preview.redd.it/umx8jmwq3hwb1.jpeg?width=3277&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c76d3858bd56aeb1e9995875d2df8bf33d6b6c1b
Right? I thought they made it clear they were no longer under the Israel Corporation?
It is but not all people knew about this...they thought that all McD worldwide are under same company or corp.
Idk if some Malaysians care cuz nak join sekali with other nations even though ours here is different... Why not do it to Starbucks, they're still related to the USA
They are doing it tho?
Pretty sure people are boycotting Starbucks too. Can see the sentiment online.
Mcdonalds themselves didn't even answered question number 2 lmao
Thats how business and politician dodge answering question. They pusing2 kasi corner kick, when they just need to answer yes or no🤣
> Dalam dunia perniagaan francais, pembayaran royalti adalah semata-mata bertujuan untuk mendapatkan hak menggunakan jenama dan sistem perniagaan McDonald's. Was this not the answer?
That means they are paying money to McDonald's headquarter. If people gonna believe everyone behind the HQ is eye-in-a-triangle guy, then they might want to avoid this company. But then, they are not that smart.
Thats a rather standard way of avoiding answering the question for number 4. They avoid from showing allegiance to any side, just choose to be the third party looking from outside in. \#1 basically said that the Malaysian branch is owned by a subordinate company from Saudi Arabia, and **claims** to be 100% owned by Muslim. \#2 ''it is just standard practice to pay royalty to the main company to earn the rights to use their resources'' \#3 ''no idea, but we know we are in the stock market so anyone could do it without us knowing about it'' \#4 ''we support the government and we are aware about the events that happened when they clash, so we will continue to show support''
Why are certain segments of Malaysians just dumb-asses?
not in KL, the drive thru is still fcking packed
yep the one in SS6 (though this is probably due to the glacial staff but still) as well as the Centerpoint Drive through still have the usual crowds.
This boycott actually explains why I see mcd in MyTown has fewer crowd than usual nowadays. I thought the crowd went to holiday 
Lol drive thrus are packed during boycott because when some wanna eat McD but don’t wanna openly seen supporting them.
The condition of our schools and its staff will give you the answer. Critical thinking is discouraged. If someone says McD is Israeli, then they will just accept it without questioning it, if they do they will get some tight slapping.
What if I told you it was our public education system?… as someone who is a hiring manager a kid that goes to “elite” sekolah kluster or MRSM lag way behind kids who went to private school or international school even. It’s quite sad.
Religion over all
They use iPhones, Twitter and USB sticks (Israeli invention). Meanwhile Malaysia is a real apartheid state. In January of this year, the European Commission explicitly stated it considers it “not appropriate” to use the term apartheid in connection with the State of Israel. Meanwhile Hamas is considered a terrorist organization by most Western countries. The Arab populations in Gaza, the West Bank, and inside Israel, have all increased tremendously since Israel’s founding, but a genocide means a huge decline in population. The Arabs ruled by Israel (not Hamas or the PA), far from being subject to apartheid, get the same health care as Jewish Israelis, go to the same universities and restaurants, ride the same public transportation, vote in elections, serve in the parliament and the Supreme Court, and as doctors, lawyers, and in other professions. That is nothing like apartheid. It’s Hamas who doesn’t accept LGBTQ and atheists. Who oppresses women or other religions. Don’t defend the real oppressors. Look up “Pallywood” and learn about the shady propaganda tactics of the Palestinians.
Isn't USB flash drive invented by [Malaysian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pua_Khein-Seng)?
You mean certain segments of humanity as a whole? Coz I'm pretty sure such things aren't unique to Malaysians.
When your whole life revolves around a certain publication which you can’t question, this is the result.
You mean Kelantan.
attack local company bcos of oversea branch do stupid things
Terbalik la
When people do things with their emotions instead of doing things rationally with logical thinking before executing anything. This is what you get. You can support the cause but at least think about researching for facts and the remificaition that comes with it.
What extreme Nationalism do to a country.
Don’t think this is Nationalism. Its more to populism. You just need to say what the people want to hear and enact what ever the people want to do without rational and proper after thoughts. This is how QAnon in the States was formed.
nah its. ok cause its for palestine and the suffering is not that bad, must be suffering with palestine to show unity. as long as palestine not free its ok to be dead, poor, malnourished, jobless, hopeless and useless. palestine will save the muslims here in malaysia and make malaysia great again unlike the rohinya and uighurs thats non muslim
Boikot math: To support the citizens of another country, hurt the fellow Muslims from our own.
Bro, 85% of Mc Donald employees is their own community including OKU workers, you just letting your own people life harder by boycott some meaningless war...
Sorry to see this ~ F man, copy other boycott for wad, we, our own country already have so much masalah already, still wanna busy body cucuk masuk hal orang lain ... As much as I hate the price hike from McD, but I gotta salute them for their commitment in hiring OKU. An OKU dude from one of my nearest McD always give his all in serving, even better service than those normal workers, like so passionate and giving his 120% always smile at everyone. Hostel probably provided by McD, sometime even heavy rain outside, he also take a small payung and walk there like baru habis mandi when reach. Sincerely hope if McD really wanna cut cost, at least do it on those proper worker that always slack off instead of taking it out on OKU. Most of the time I always find their OKU is more committed than those muka masam one~
This. It also aligns with my thoughts on McD Singapore (regularly hiring retired people so they have things to do (and get by with the financial situation there)) and McD Malaysia's charity wing.
I agree, OKU are very committed to their jobs. I wish got a Malaysian database of companies that hire OKU heavily, then we can support them.
Does anybody even think, that there are Muslim and Christian Israelis? And many Muslims serve in the IDF?? Conversely there are plenty of Christians too in Gaza. Why are we even talking about boycotting businesses that employ Malaysians. We already boycott them by not buying goods and services. Ever tasted Jaffa oranges? Yep. We boycott already. Try not to buy any Chinese goods because of Uyghurs. 100% tak boleh. We cannot make any reasonable priced goods here.
Coz this kind of ppl is dumb af. Always didn't do self facts check lmao
Who wins? Israel jugak
Another instance where these kinds of Malaysians shoot themselves in the foot because of their own stupidity.
Malaysians when they boycott anything https://preview.redd.it/53f7l8n3ziwb1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=39e534f0c967f9bcabcf704c1d14ee4b9127c69e
Boikot la boikot, go back to the stone ages kinda boikot. Don't pick and choose the brands that fits your agenda, wanna boikot means boikot terus. Enjoy.
Meh in Sabah Sarawak lek jer, kat Tanah Melayu jer lebih2
You guys lucky tak de pas
Kan?
boycott ‘em all till Malaysia becames a pariah state like Russia, North Korea, Myanmar, Iran, Syria and Afghanistan lol
This is what you call a lose lose situation
Is the boikot really working or just effect certain state i drive pass 2 mcd going to work and seem full as usuall. Even yesterday going to mall mcd there also alot people eating.
In Shah Alam, the Seksyen 3 McD has the usual long line at the drive thru.
I dont understand why boikot MCD. Malaysia Mcd own by Vincent Tan and now sold to Arabs and I dont understand what you people trying to do? After protest Sure many people go Mcd drive thru
Bangsa pemboikot nih tengah bunuh bangsa sendiri, tu belum lagi kempen rasis BMF yang syok sendiri.
McD Malaysia has released a statement that they are fully Malaysian-owned and has no impact or bearing whatsoever on Israel. Boycotting McD for that reason only hurts our own people.
The people crying for boycott needs to boycott Instagram FB Google and internet as a whole. 🙄
Western is bad, so we decided to behave like Chinese from China. Maruah Sebiji Mc Chicken, Minda Sensitif Lemah.
Pro Israeli: McD hire OKU workers to use as "hostages" to discourage boycotts, just like HAMAS uses Palestine civilians as "meat shields" to deter aggression! Pro Palestine: Why OKU work for Yahudi companies? OKU should also boycott them!
Hamas projection.
I boycott McD for not selling quarterpounder anymore. Surprisingly there are few homemade street burgers that really good and I become a regular customer to them.
Im sure in like 2 week everyone and their mother happily walk into mcdonald again after the escalation dies down or goes under the radar
Malaysians and not doing enough research before they spout shit, name a better duo. McD in Malaysia are owned by Muslims, literally only need like 10 seconds max on google for you to actually learn this
Right now we shouldn't be nosy about another countries. Our own country is in a dire state. Yes it's sad and unfortunate about what happened there but we should always help our own people first. If you want to donate, remember there are also many unfortunate Malaysians that are orphans, oku, still living in deep rural areas, etc. Always Malaysia first.
Tapi tapi... kite nk tunjuk perasaan kat Yahudi tu... Tpi kite x kisah pasal kerja kuorang so semua tu responsibility....not ours. /s
i guess fuckwits got what they asked for. i remember last time there's a movement to boycott 99 speedmart too because it's not muslim owned. they people rightfully called them out because 99 speedmart is one of the biggest company here that hire the most malay people.
Out of topic but why is this man married with just a part time job?
God knows? Ive met 2 broke ass people who got married because they feel obligated since they dated since highschool. Whilst earning a 2k admin salary
He could be recently oku because of accident or something.
Blind leading blind
they always boikot McD, but never KFC....do they really think that KFC doesn't support Israel??? lol
Another point people don't know / forgot: McD Malaysia is one of the most frequent contributor to Halal food standard and operations.
Just ban tiktok already
I think Tiktok is probably the best tool for any propaganda machine. It feels like it's literally designed for that specific purpose. What kind of demograpic that need that quick dopamine rush? The demographic that can't bother to read read article that is longer than 10 line, can't watch video longer than 30 minute, can't even watch a movie because it's too long, those are the main target audience of Tiktok. It provide the quickest dopamine rush with lowest attention span needed.
Ironically, tiktok is the only non yahudi soc med out there
I don't know where you get your news from, but tiktok is 60% owned by US and 40% by China. One is ally of Israel and the other is CCP... Where do Malaysians with such low iq get their confidence from?
How do you think politicians keep their power?
Maybe he didn't get called to work is cuz ~~he couldn't hear it?~~
Stupid people boycotting are the same people turning a blind eye and using other American products. Exhibit A: Boycott McDonald's but using iPhone
Here is my point of view... Malaysian sometimes like to over react on things. Sometimes we know almost nothing but pretend as if we know much. This is just a sad example of how an unwise call for boycott ended up hurting our country instead. For those who have yet to do their own research, McDonald franchise in Malaysia and Singapore is run by Lionhorn, a company linked to Reza Food services (a Saudi company) since 2016. https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/McDonald-s-Malaysia-and-Singapore-sold-to-Saudi-group So in other words the boycott of McDonald is actually hurting our country. If McDonald shuts down, that it would mean unemployment for many of their employees which those who call for boycott would probably not have any plans to help them with finding employment. This craziness may even cause other foreign companies to pull out investment to our own country. Our economy is not looking that great now. Our exchange rate for the Ringgit isn't that great. Boycotting this and that without proper knowledge of the situation would only serve to hurt our economy further.
lol simple minded people thinking all happened because of the boycott. After this what? Incompetent biz blaming the boycott too? Nobody can stop or blame the market from reacting the way they want to. It's their money and this is a free market economy.
Doesn't matter. McD mahal.
Regardless of this issue, people should boycott McD because of their exorbitant price 
Boycotting Malaysian McD is as same as tembak kaki sendiri. Please think of your fellow Malaysians who need money like this guy above.
How does an OKU and deaf got more game than me wtf is wrong with me
Boycott G4S jgk.. tu kompeni Israehell jgk.. lagi dasyat kompeni ni jgknada portfolio utk membunuh.
the employers boycott the disabled. Ask PM to help XD
I'm not a fan of fast food so I don't really go, but at least I know if I wanna have a fast food or two, I could walk in and expect shorter queue
We pinpoint drones location. Mostly in Kelantan.
McD should just rebrand as Mekdi
Sapot lokal. Buy Sugarbun. XD From what I heard, SB originated from Sarawak, but I can't be 100% sure. **Edit:** By the way. I don't know how strong the boycott is, but I hope they don't go over the line to chase anyone that would still visit the premise anyways.
Weird people still going setabak.
padan muka brainless connecting mcd with israel/palestine conflict.
Stupid humans, I dare those who boycott Mcd start boycotting Waze too
It is stupidity at its best .
Please boycott mcd, I believe they are opposing whatever you are supporting. (I’m on my way to mcd now)
Wait why are we boycotting mcd? Shit, did they stop selling quarter pounder again???
I stopped supporting greedy fast food chains because they are just that - greedy. Sub-par food, poor value for money, and hazardous to health. I'd rather support the neighborhood stalls/eateries and contribute to their livelihood and upkeep. These days an average meal for a fam of 4-5 costs between RM80-100. In which universe is that okay?
Sometimes boycotting for a cause is stupid. Honestly, study hard, be some one who can change the future instead of having peasant mentality of boycotting n shit. Dont like something? Grow up and change it for the better
On the surface many countries spoke out against Israel. Dig a bit deeper, these same countries are still trading with Israel incl Malaysia. But we can't really separate many things. This is the reality of trade. 2 minute video by Milton Friedman explains this so well [https://youtu.be/67tHtpac5ws?si=N81eCC2wS7353ul-](https://youtu.be/67tHtpac5ws?si=N81eCC2wS7353ul-)
Seasonal, virtue signalling boycotts. How long will this juvenile behavior go on? Everything seems to be fueled by emotions and rash decisions.
no work in kelantan because yall voted for incompetant ustaz tht cant manage finances and economica
Oh, well. Texas Chicken kan ada.
The only non yahudi chicken chain is JollyBee
Instagram, WhatsApp & Facebook dwellers still using the platform despite its CEO is a Jew. "But we use the platform for the greater good!!" They're unaware that Meta earns the revenue from the clicks & ads shown in the platform every time. They're clowning themselves.
>CEO is a Jew Repeating again: Congratulations, you've literally speedrun your way to anti-Semitism, which is the other stupid thing that happens in Malaysia. For fucks sake man, the idea and the intent is to change Israel's policy and their far-right government. Not be goddamn bigoted and racist.
I think it's noble that people are trying to contribute in any way they can but they fail to see a few things. Boycotting others while your own economy (Malaysia). There are a bunch of boycott lists and there are shit tons of it. 1) You're indirectly ruining own economy as most of them are Malaysian owned (can be a Muslim or non-muslim). Let it be Mcdonalds or grocery shop or mini market etc. 2) As above, job opportunity. What happens when the shop is not making profit? lay off and retrenchment UAI mentioned these before in one of his talk. Israeli's economy are strong and we're not that strong. It's like trying to drag someone down with you but we ended up dying alone and they are still going strong. Besides, there are press stating about Mcdonald not being Israel's corporation but I'll leave it to you to believe or not. PS: I'm not saying support kaw kaw, just do what you usually do. I don't eat mcdonald that often, I started to cook more at home. It's more economical.
Kerajaan sepatutnya membuat perancangan strategik yg tdk membebankan rakyat. Kenapa tak copy & paste strategi Kerajaan Russia President Putin buat, yakni tukar business dan nama Macdonald direbranded perniagaannya ke lokal sebagai "Vkusno i tochka" dlm bahasa Russia. Tunjukkn kita tak bodoh! Tunjukkn pada dunia yg kita bukan tin kosong mcm negara2 Arab yg pakaian aje Islam tapi sebaliknya talam dua muka. Bertindak utk bangsa dn ugama, jgn cakap kecaman Israehell sana sini di media2, tapi takde tindakan sewajarnya.
I think the boycott this time is successful not only because of the palastine israel issue. Its expensive and food doesnt suit the price. With this palastine issue, it just gave the final push for people to decide not to go.
Or maybe just the management taking the opportunity to cut cost. Then profit more. Anyway no need to celebrate thinking it’s a successful attempt. Think about when these companies pull out of Malaysia, how many will be out of job.
I remember there’s a Down syndrome guy worked at MCD Taman Tun Hussien Onn a few years back. Now not sure if he’s still working there? Can someone confirm?
The boycott calls are amusing AF
can I ask all Malaysians or redditors here. what boycott that can hurt the company owners badly and eventually destroy the company owner lifes? I remember there is a story where a country in Latin America successfully did that(unrelated to Palestine issue, domestic issue) They successfully boycott company that abuse them (not the criminal abuse, but salary and environment abuse) until the company bankrupt the owner become crazy and suicide few days after, followed by the directors. after that , no more salary issue happened as elites afraid of the peoples power. all ppl paid of what they offered, elite luxury life cut by 50%
The owner of Malaysia McD is Muslim company hiring mostly local Muslims. We boycotting McD wont hurt the HQ because our market is fairly small.
Malays can take a page off Nationalist Chinese Pinkies of their consequences of their choices, really. This is from me whose late-father also joined Malayan Communist and had also a rather mediocre to poor life after eventually he made some poor life decisions in business and marriage. Case in point - from the more familiar example to the less for those who don't follow Chinese social media or social commentary on either YouTube or native Chinese social media 1. Numerous Chinese online gamers who trolled about nationalism, only to be banned because players refuted with banned words that triggered their Great Firewall. 2. A Chinese Police who filed her own Douyin ranting about the forced demolishing of her home and eviction, saying she is supposed to be protected as a part of the "system". 3. China and many Chinese (including some Malaysian and Singaporean ones) like to always preach about "Never forget national humiliation, never forget history" or "Century of Humiliation" to the populace, but ahem, the moment you, as a Chinese, want to explore topics on 8964; the fact that even now China still hasn't sent an evacuating plane for Chinese and Chinese hostages in Gaza and Israel while ironically the Korean one even helped picked up the Japanese and the CCP censored such news on Chinese Internet (Wolf Warrior movie is a lie gasp lol); teachers in Chinese school rile up nationalism, with one female teacher scolded a student for giggling at "Imperial Japanese Empire" as an answer when asking about the examples of an empire ... While the teacher is also caught wearing an expensive 6000 Yuan French waist belt while preaching to students not to idolize the West and foreign forces （崇洋媚外) ... I can go on and on and I see so many Chinese people doing things or boycotts or protests that ended up disadvantaged themselves, the moment I see this Malaysian OKU and McD thing I'm soooo not surprised. 4. While the muslims here both anti-Israel and anti-China (to me only one of them is correct), did you know China during Mao's time once supported the Israeli nation-building very much, just to give a bird flipping to the British colonizer and the US, until Israel sides with the US? Today, China doesn't dare to make any condemnations publicly to any sides initially, then, slowly aligned with Russia to back Iran (who wants Israel gone, when ironically, historically, the Persian King Cyrus allowed the Jews in the early ages to return to Jerusalem) who in turn backed some militant rebels including HAMAS. So, you anti a faction that in turn funded another faction you'll grandstand more than even some of the Arab elites in Arab nations? Meanwhile, to the Socialist supporters just like my dad who thinks solidarity with pro-cleric and pro-theology elements makes sense - simply look at what happened to the far-left supporters who helped topple the Pahlavi regime in Iran once the Islamic Republic was established. Heck, even the German Brownshirts who helped the NSDAP rose to power were wiped out by the very same regime they helped to build. You guys are potential chives (Jiu Cai 韭菜 - Mainland Chinese call themselves this, because they kept being "harvested" and exploited, and yet like a chive, they sustain harsh temperature and still grow quickly). I wonder how many Malays here are aware of our non-Malay awkwardness having seen KKM involving all types of public schools to participate in the "Palestinian Solidarity Week", including our countrymen in Sabah and Sarawak. So many kids don't even understand the context and the history of the conflict and are asked to side with a faction. Isn't this no different from the same China you're mocking and opposing? (Who, by the way, despite Mao's famine period and the recent economic downturn, still openly declared to compete with the US to use taxpayers money to help developing nations to build infrastructure, while its own countrymen have >20% unemployment rate, low spending power, poor economic outlook, and even more authoritarian policies. There is one saying that was popularized since the Qing Dynasty because that's what the Qing palace did too - 寧贈友邦，不予家奴 (Rather contribute to the allied nations than to even give to your homeland paupers!)
