Malaysia Boycott over Coca-cola, Mc Donalds and Starbucks?
Mmm… What about Kentucky Fried Chicken and others which was from US as well? Are we going to boycott them? Let us think about that, A country without KFC… Anyway, let us see what would happen next…
Shouting “Long live Islam, long live Palestine, destroy Israel!” they said Malaysians should boycott Coca-Cola, Colgate and Starbucks. The boycott is spearheaded by the Malaysian Islamic Consumers Association, and the Muslim Restaurant Operators Association which has removed Coca-Cola from the menu at thousands of eateries. Addressing the crowd, ex-prime minister Mahathir Mohamad said Malaysians “will not die if they do not use the US goods” and urged those working for US companies such as fast-food giant McDonalds to quit their jobs.
“I hope Starbucks and McDonald’s employees will stop working there,” he said.
“If you have the US dollar, please change to other currencies, or to our ringgit. When you stop using the US dollar its value will drop.
“They will become a bankrupt country and will not be able to produce weapons for Israel,” Mahathir added.

If Malaysia is more powerful then US then we can say boycott.
When so many people are working for US companies, is the government going to pay them their salary if the quit?
Totally irresponsible statement…

I blogged about it last week too. It’s one of the most lamest attempts by the government to deflect the internal issues that has blighted our nation.
