Misleading. Malaysian just redirect their money to cheaper and healthier option. Supporting local brands is a not crime
Umm... no. Mixue, for example; is not a local brand but the queue is insanely long every single day. Same goes for Chatramue and even Richeese Factory.
It's not misleading
mixue is so tasty and delicious😋
healthier option? we all know what's the story behind it, it's P*lestine-related
@@thetruthshallberevealed everyones know that....he just stated that we have other choices and its much healthier to NOT eat at these places.
Mc donald? 😕 Meh . Ramly burger still the best.
Why not so many Ramlee outlest I wonder. I Sometimes I go to R&R Gurun just to get some Ramlee burger😂
I'll help you by giving a like cause your stupidity @@mohdfarhan5255

Yeah...ramly burger the BEST👍👍👍

How idiotic, the consumer doesn't stop spending, they are just redirecting that spending, local brands are having a resurgence in Malaysia right now. Why should we support these mediocre brands with inflated prices anyways...

👏🏼👏🏼 yup
Indeed bro
I put Malaysian first Palestinian second, it not that Palestinian will help me if I'm suffer. They will not !!!
U dont knw Malaysia.. food heavens..our street foods can cover them definitely..now large opportunities for local brands to enter the market
On the positive note: Local brands are booming and mushroomed. Actually, the economic growth is still well. Malaysian-made brands doing very well as the new alternatives. Job opportunies are still there. Remember that the world is vast, job oppotunities are everywhere. Starbucks or Mcd doesn’t run the world.
Very well said
Yup indeed
My family and have not been consuming KFC , McD and Nestle products for the past 6 months.
I almost 3 years 😂
Congrats! Try to avoid P&G products too 💪
I also almost 3 years
Never consume since 2020. I like local products more,more cheaper option
Do it forever.. These fast food is really bad for your health.. I cook my own food almost everyday with fresh produce. Make time people.. Love your body.

The last guy is so misleading. Stop associating unemployment with the closing of these outlets. There are more employment opportunities in Malaysia other than working in these chains. Stop living in bubble.
This is so wrong. Malaysia unemployment is currently at its highest. And yes, due to layoffs by these American-linked outlets like Starbucks and McD. Also, I don't see that we have more employment opportunities in Malaysia. All those fake employment created by the govt to feed the Malays in this Malay-only-policy will come back to haunt us because we're paying salary for non-productive Malays to work. Imagine hiring 15 people for a 3-person job. This is not employment opportunity. This is purely plucking money from skies to pay someone, and it all comes from our taxes.
Utter nonsense and you know it
@@user-mq4ko9su9d clearly you need to learn how to read more carefully. There are more employment opportunities in Malaysia "other than working in these chains". What you and I are talking about are completely different thing. And we're talking about boycotting, not bashing the government.
@@ezekielhall7907 what is? People taking action against genocide?
@@price.of_maxwell you have comprehension skill issues. You say there are more employment opportunities out there in Malaysia. Unemployment rate is one of the highest in recent years. Where's the opportunity? I'm clearly replying to you yet you're so dumb to understand. In the end, govt is creating fake opportunities via food deliveries by giving incentives, and forcing grab to maintain the commissions to riders, to create jobs. So where am I saying things that is completely a different thing.
It's not like these brands are selling healthy food. It's better to support local food👍
Local foods like burgers too? 😂
so local foods are healthy? all those fried and oil and fats?
@@Mannyxz, yes.. we famous for our local burger, named burger ramly.
You mean to say that these branded foods are health food too?
@@suhanaana4152 and is that healthy? 😂

For the large sector of muslim population who are used to fasting...abstaining from eating n drinking..abstaining from consuming selected brands is nothing
Support Made in Malaysia
It goes 2 ways.
you are what you eat
so eat healthy food 🥰
Most of the brands being boycotted are the US franchise outlets. The operators in the country could claim they do not directly finance any war, but part of the franchise fees paid the the HQ are being sent to support the geno.
Malaysians are coming to their senses, and probably, it is time for them to support established brands and get rid of the overpriced foreign franchises anyway.
It is public listed company.
@@banana_in_bottle4764 Does that mean none of that money goes to Zionists?
@@banana_in_bottle4764you are too dense eeeh
@@solomonkok1539 It's a people's boycott so they ma.y have just done that
@@solomonkok1539 "which one is not peoples boycott in Malaysia??" Can't understand your question. But I think your point is why doesn't the boycott extend to all American products? The answer is simple. It is not possible. So they boycott what they can.
I disagree with the last guy. What this is doing is opening new opportunities for local small businesses to compete with the mega corporations. Employees will move to these local businesses instead. Skllis needed in one company are often sought after by other companies as well. One example is Zus vs Starbucks
Just because Starbucks closes doesn't mean demand for coffee disappears. Market will survive and grow regardless.
And now Zus is being boycotted too for collaborating with adidas 😂
Boikot Zusssss
@@azure4100yea, coffee is everywhere and better support those who stand in the right cause. Gradually the quality will also increase. Beautiful journey
market provide jobs, not companies
In Malaysia, their cooking and culinary business is tastier and of very high quality
Thank you ❤
The truth is. KFC is too small, mcd is too plain. Starbucks so expensive compared to coffee bean with the same vibe and better food
I'm not buying McD because of the ridiculously high price per meal. Better switch to other brands.
overprice americano in post-covid economy ? nope
Kfc burger -Rm 8
Zinger burger -Rm 11
We Malaysian will continue boycotting this products.
Correction-Malays will continue to boycott. Not Indians and Chinese because we can think and see the larger picture. Also there is a lot of hypocrisy. If they are really serious about boycotting, then they should boycott all Jewish products and inventions. As noted-"many of those who rail against Jews owe their health or their lives to the work of Jewish scientists."
👍
Not all malaysians. I am a Malaysian who does not support boycotting. Depends on location. In my place where majority are Non Muslims, boycotting is not effective
Boycotting also facebook, yahoo, google, youtube😂😂😂
@@rolandsalarde2988 Facebook, yahoo both overrated like McDonald's
China does not use any of them even South Korea does not as well. It is possible slowly surely
New brand will emerge which does not support Valdermort.
This is the best way to protest.
i have stopped buying mcd since more than 5 years ago as i know they support israel
and never in my lifetime of 40 years even once buy starbucks even once
i boycotted even before ppl start the campaign
It pushes away American brands and helps local brands flourishing. The workers then get hired by local businesses.
Most Local business, I think they prefer migrant worker more. Migrant worker are available 24/7 .. 😅
The unemployment issues are always there. It's more on the salary.
Please don't blame on boycott.
It's not like people don't buy anything, they just don't buy from this brand.
Malaysians love peace and humanity. Malaysian also loves food and are great at making great dishes. So when we see foreign foods franchises supporting genocide, we just redirect back our spending to local dishes that is more healthy and tasty. If you see something wrong with that then you are the problem.
Malaysians are smart and firm with their stand. In general all this while, they seem to be quite successful in striking the balance between the local and the international political expediency.
thats why thier GDP are going down lol! unemployment are skyrocketing.. yep keep boycotting LMAO!

We won’t stop boycotting unless we see these food companies send trucks with their logos to feed the starving
Gazans.
Even then.
Giving them your money is giving them power.
Support local brands instead.
They support hamas who kill me civilians and put babies in oven.
These brands are franchised. Unwillingly, their royalties paid to the Head Quarters are eventually flow to the zionists. Malaysians have right to choose to support local brands which will benefit Malaysia in a long run.
Welldone MALAYSIAN Muslim.....
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🍉
Here in rhe US mcdonalds always has a long line, i havent eaten there in a long time though. Not for protest, just bad food.
I’ve seen a surge in spending towards other altenatives especially startup and local company. And that is good. Malaysian economy doesn’t die just because of starbuck or mcDonald, we have other better alternatives
im Malaysian…. my money, my choice… i eat watever i want… some consumers are just following the trend n medias…. without having the overall understandings of the situations..
Do you really understand the situation??, basically are you genocide supporter??
More Power to Resistance
Love to Malaysia from Bangladesh
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Keep your love. We Malaysians (at least not the Muslim ones) are trying hard to ensure Malaysia don't end up like Bangladesh and Pakistan which have to resort to whoring its people to other countries in name of cheap labor,
🤣😂🤣😂😂
Malaysians don’t love you 😂😂😂😂
Send more Bangladeshi to Malaysia
Very good
The only stupid thing we do not cover or address is the after effect of boycott. At least be like Russia, retaking these outlet and transform it to be a local brand. The government should act and support local brand to take over these abandoned outlet.
Well we had DFC until someone spread false news. Dengki tak bertempat
You had DFC? Lol only issue with DFC is being racist. Nothing else. Of course can see DFC is flourishing. So ya, boycotts only for Malays. Non-Malays still not going DFC because it's more expensive than KFC. So if you give me a choice of both outlets at same location, I'll go KFC. Cheaper option still and has better quality control than some racist outlet.
I agree
@user-mq4ko9su9d aaah. Here comes the racist horn. No doubt someone wanted to be opportunistic to earn money while all the hoo Haa of boikot going on. That's enterprising to me. People go because they want fried chicken. Simple fact. But what has it got to do with racism? Oh yeah, because a person with racism in his head brought it up. Why is everything about race to you. Want to eat , eat lah. Who cares
Who is man on black shirt? Is he getting paid by saying that..
I suggest Malaysians boycott using USD to trade, to spend, to exchange 🎉🎉
Lets boycott USD and start using gold.
already did long ago. USD is fake, baseless, uncontrolled printed money. Not worth the paper its printed on.
Soon. Our regional trade is using regional currency. Our trade with China is using Yuan.
De dollarisation is ongoing.
its not accused its the fact
Is it verified?
In Sarawak (East Malaysia), we dont boycott.
Evangelicals?
About time money and profits stop flowing out of country and into the pockets of foreign corpos. Keeping more money into local restaurants and businesses, and therefore the country makes more economical sense.
Local restaurants and business es now hired more foreigners than local and pay local chicken feet salary. How can local survive?
We should definitely support local brands. It creates jobs, keeps our money in the community, supports local entrepreneurs, and helps the environment. It’s a great way for us to boost our economy and strengthen our community together!
Fast food not good for your health..hope understood...
Based on your logic we also boycott the DFC too?
Subway is not a fast food
@@aeroline11if you want to boycott it is up to you. No one forcing you.
It's not easy for us to break the habit. But we did it 💪
It was west malaysia,which is malayan.not entire malaysia actually,noted that reporter.peace.........
We slowly starting to support our local brands 🇵🇸🇲🇾 good for country's economy
Our money our rights. Instead of support those biggest companies better support our own stalls & hawkers..
hi. thanks for interviewing us
Only Malays in Malaysia are boycotting those American linked companies. For the other races, we are just redirecting our wealth to spend at cheaper options, in view that govt is increasing taxes, reducing funding for proper infrastructures. Not so much redirect of funds for Malays as they now eat at DFC, a more expensive option than KFC. So ya, to correct the stereotype that Malaysians are boycotting American linked eateries, nope only Malays do that.
Meaning only Malays in Malaysia have high sense of humanity..unlike other races...
People around the world are boycotting
Not all does that...
You don't say? 😅. If your brand giving free meals to one side, please get note that it won't going neat. Also the countries that doesn't have an Ambassadors, are only protest against the brand associate with them 😊
Even if these brands goes under.... there's many new ventures up & coming to take over these imported brands.
Dont assume worker benefit the most from these fast food outlets. The companies need workers more than worker need them. There is plenty of work that pay better than fast food outlet. They make it seem as if society can survive without them.
Why not also boycott Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, Coca-Cola, & various other As American companies?
Dont forget cigarettes
Boycot tongsan pendatang@@jasonlaminx
We need fb and twitter to cry
Boycott as much as reasonably achievable. Maximising the boycotting without compromising your lifestyles.
Because not every problem needs to be met with an all or none response. Pretty easy to figure out if you have the mental capacity above high school.
“We are fully prepared to host the world’s olympic games next summer”
yes.
people have their right to buy. your money and your choice
Malaysia's BDS is an inspiration! 😍
Local brands to replace Starbucks : i.e. ZUS coffee, Richiamo, TeaLive, Gigi Coffee, Bask Bear coffee, BubbleBee, Mixue and many others.
Local brands to replace McDonalds and KFC : i.e. MarryBrown, Samuri Kajang Satay, local franchise of Ramly Burger, Secret Recipe cakes pastas and pastries, Darsa fried chicken, MUIZ fried chicken, Chicken Rice Shop and many others.
Can you see that Malaysia has many alternatives for food and drinks.
Like anyone want to pay same price for Darsa vs KFC?
Overpriced mediocre coffee? Who the hell wants to buy. Fast food is not good for your health anyway…why bother
I dont blame Malaysians. they just have better local alternatives.
Airbnb is 100% Israeli
Boycott!
These people are hypocritical. You never see them make any noise when there’s war in other places like Ukraine or Russia, only Gaza. The world should see through their attitude and simply ignore their campaigns.
They even celebrated the 7th Oct with happy October
They are more rational than you🫣

We bother the franchisor's CEO of the starbuck stance over the war, instead of the CEO of the franchisee...
Interest rate is rising and Ringgit ivalue is down. So people are changing to cheaper and more affordable local alternative
ppl didnt buy local product, no media say anything. when it comes to selected brand they voiceout as if it is compulsory to spent on them.
Are those companies offering high level jobs? They are just low level works with a minimum salary. It is good if the locals starts to aim higher. It is better for their future.

As a Malaysian, I cannot deny that we boycott brands that supports Israel, I'm gonna do everything that is within my reach to help those in Palestine. But you also cannot deny that the food quality of those brands have really gone down recently, and that just give us another reason to try something else like local brands.
With just a few months after the boycott started, you can really see the local brands that have pop-up due to this boycott. I mean, it's a win-win situation for me.
It really opens our eyes to that We actually able to produce variety of good food, from Muiz fried chicken to replace kfc, Homemade ground-beef burger to replace McD, to good quality pizza, and of course, our own traditional food.
I don't care what everyone else says, I get better food, while supporting locals, while helping Palestine, while raising our self-sustaining capabilities in global scale.
I mean who doesn't want the "hitting 4 bird with one stone" HAHAHHAHA
Yes exactly
Hmm
Maybe that’s why Mahayana economy slowed down lol
No way local business will pay the same as foreign brands
Unemployment
BRAVO!!
Congrats that the most of malay in Malaysia finally want to start a healthy life after 7th October.
Wish you all had a healthy life
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Have you seen the fast food prices lately? Why we bother go there where we can buy more cheaper option and eat real food rather than plastic food from fast food restaurant.
We're boycotting the wrong brands...
Malaysia should be boycotting Google and Meta
Boycot Food , not thing😂
Boycott babii sepet
i see triple order online kfc and macdonal.. .. since 7 month ago.. 😂😂😂
Then you should make your own channel to spread this news. The fact that this news even make it to a European TV channel shows that they do not know as much about McDonald's as you do.
Should Malaysian boycott flying with Air Asia and Malaysia Airlines too..?
Since all The aircrafts is from US and European manufacturers
yes, force them to buy made in China -C919

Wrong ! Malaysians have not been to those said establishment since because their price is to high for Malaysians low purchasing power due to the weak Ringgit performance during this bad economy.
I am still boycotting so we now support local products and services
We're buying local. Better quality.
Our money.
Our choice.
15 years ago when I was at KL. Nobody queue at KFC or McDonalds. Because they have better alternatives. By now definitely even westerners know about Ramly Burgers. And the best outlet get their location pass around.

And malays dont even care because the malays have strong purchasing power.
Jollibee is 100 times better chicken and burgers 😅
Malaysia is food heaven 😁 We supported local brands healthy options more than that fast food 🤭 They are not been missed though because we have better options ☺️
KFC's food taste much better way back in the early 90s where the outlets were much lesser. But for the last 20 years, their food taste changed, not as tasty as last time. It must be due to poor quality control, I guess.
okay, then? we chose not to eat there for personal reason, plus these fast food brands are selling at a higher price compared to the local brand for the same or less amount of food. did you know, local brand burger was created back then because when mcdonald enter Malaysia, not many people can afford it and it still is now, not that the people really cant afford it but you're paying a higher price for less compared to local brand, why now that you care about this, things has been going on since forever
Why they don’t condemn Hamas? Just because they are lead by Islam so no matter what or who is wrong they will still stand on that line.
humanity wins
Local. Brand rose. And can hire the staff
Good job Malaysia! I'm from Singapore and am having a hard time over here to get the same movement and cooperation to do the same even among fellow Muslims. No matter what will keep it up as much as i can.
Bravo Malaysia 🇲🇾 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
The boicott didn't hurt any countries. They only hurt their own country with more people's jobless, less tax and many others franchise wont be putting their money in Malaysia.
Boycott doesnt means people dont buy. They just channel the purchasing to other brands, favorably local brands. So, these eventually will boost their own economy. The money spend in the country, the money stay in the country. Do you get it?
I am sure in the end of time people who choose river of fire (world current of suffer) will taste the truth peacefullness. Rather than people who choose river of water (world current of fake peacefullness). In this era people need to go deep searching to know the real truth.
