Boycott has been happening for several years already due to the quality of food and services getting worse. Price also increased terribly. And yes, the recent Gaza incident made it much worse.
Sure thing but it has increased significantly with the genocide in Palestine so it this case they temporarily closed it because of that and not because of food/service getting worse.
They would "cry" if we do the same to them. What if USA, Europe and other countries who suffer islamic terrorism decided to cancel companies, brands and countries that come from countries who don't condemn islamic terrorist groups, islamic terrorist attacks, islamic supremacist ideas...or don't help other countries to fight it?
I think the major reason why KFC chose to close is the quality of their food has really declined. I mean compare KFC with other fastfood chains., KFC todays is not the same as KFC of say 10-15yrs ago
@@entezami777 better quality 10 years ago, nowadays the chicken is getting smaller while the price are getting higher. same goes for big mac. There's nothing big about it, u can literally buy a local Ramly beef burger triple special for much cheaper than a single bland 'big mac' that is becoming so small today.
completely agreed..... comparing to 20 years ago KFC used to be big chunky burger! Tender and juicy meaty quality! Today the KFC quality are so declined.
Kfc still taste better here in my country. However, mcd & AW food quality has been declined. The best thing about mcd & AW in my country is only their ice cream.
Very true. For the price of two pieces of KFC fried chicken, I can buy 4 packs of nasi lemak and 3 big chunks of fried chicken at a local Malay food stall. And they taste better, too.
Yes the chicken is getting smaller and if ordered by delivery, usually the restaurant staffs are so reluctant to provide the drumstick part of the chicken, even if requested in the order.
one of the reasons is the declining of quality that doesn't match with the current price. also due to the current economy situation, people are more selective on what they want to eat while maintaining their budget to sustain until the next paycheck. Then, kfc need to aware that they are many competitors nowadays that offer better fried chickens with better quality and prices.
As a Malaysian, this boycott isn't solely about Palestine conflict but also over the declining quality of KFC Malaysia's product. We're unsatisfied with the "quail-size" chicken, expensive price, and low effort at making their food (I mean, it is typical for a fast food restaurant but boy KFC managed to make it even worse). It's just sad that our KFC has turned into the American KFC.
True. I can buy 4 packs of nasi lemak AND 3 big chunks of fried chicken at a local Malay food stall for the price of two pieces of KFC fried chicken alone.
Let's not forget about the fact that KFC or Starbucks are expensive for that little. Plus the Malaysian ringgit is weakening day by day, MYR is at its Lowest since the financial crisis. So not a lot of Malaysian want to spend on those things
True... From Philippines here. Malaysia was one of my favorite destination before but when I went back last year... oh my prices so expensive. Cant find anything below 10 ringgit a meal even at Mamak store.
@Castrate- as a Malaysian, true also. The wage here is just enough to get you through the month, barely any savings can be done. That's why I'm planning to find a job and work in Singapore soon
I started to avoid eating all of the fastfood chains in Malaysia since I noticed McD's price spiked very early, even before Covid if I remember correctly. The last meal I tried in McD is the Nasi Lemak McD with the Spicy Chicken. It's okay, but not worth the price if eaten too often. Just support local business is fine.
Closed down KFC, Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng is better. Closed starbuck too , i can have my teh tarik at mama stall and local kopitiam. Just like Russia , without big franchises, local businesses flourish,we Malaysian support local businesses, no need these international eatery, boycott KFC and Starbucks!!! Let make KFC And Starbuck history, no more in Malaysia
How's the economy in Malaysia without overseas investment then... We are not the same with Russia 😅 actually we can still support local business, let's don't too aggressive towards this issue... be rational 😅
Correction: This started way before October 7th 2023. Palestinians were being murdered and driven out of their homes for a hundred years. Why the F does no one ever mention that?
I don't think its because of the boycott. Kfc is just using this issue as an excuse to close. The only 2 brand i often heard being boycotted is Starbucks and Mcd. I think people are buying less because of the high price and more competition. In my area there are chicking, jollibee and richeese open one after another.
I don't know about other area.. In my small town here... bagan serai where there is one kfc outlet..we Boycott kfc because of Israel.... Bagan serai is Muslim majority town. In kamunting also they close one outlet, kamunting also Muslim majority area.. But all outlets in taiping still open.. Taiping is Chinese majority area
Their share had been down rapidly since the boycott..if its simply because of bad services and price it would had happened sooner .. the price had been increasing for a few years..yet people would complaint and at the same time would still buying.. but since the boycott movement happened we can really see the impact..the power of the customer..it is time to support healthy local bussiness..do not underestimate the BDS
true, KFC has been declining even before the boycott. Because: 1. The food portion getting smaller 2. The food quality drop 3. Lack of staff, poor service KFC has never full with customers for some years right now
Not because of the anti israel but also the price aswell...Nowdays most Malaysians prefers to support and buy from local brand outlets , theres alot more fried chickens that are almost or much better than the KFC itself selling here and its more cheaper too besides it helps small bussiness in our country to grow.
@@azmanabas8425 I personally think it's not a wise move to boycott KFC and McD, due to plenty of their business owners/staff being Muslims, they contribute to zakat, pros outweigh the cons, just like how we still contribute to Meta, a big funder to Israel since the excuse was "We're using their media against them"

Thier downfall is mainly due to thier product quality. They can’t even maintain thier main dish which is the fried chicken. Not to mention the sizes getting smaller while price going up. Might as well just close all branch. Management and staff been pretty unprofessional for decades.
I don't understand why Chinese Malaysians are so against BDS movements. BDS is going on not just in Malaysia but even in the west. The US is having an extremely large college pro palestine rally right now. I mean who in their right mind would support a company that directly gives money to a country that is committing genocide? And the justification is because they provide jobs for many Malaysians. It's like saying boycotting drugs is wrong because drugs provide thousands of jobs to Malaysian drug dealers. Blood money is blood money. Furthernore nobody forces u to boycott them. Go and eat it if u want to. To me it's wrong but that's your business. If it doesn't affects you why should u bother?
Most of these Chinese Malaysian are Muslim hater. They are known to be anti Muslim especially toward Malay Muslim in silence ( they did not show it in public ) There even a conspiracy to change the nation official religion from Islam to Christian by a whistleblower reported by a newspaper. That whistleblower even make a police report about it. Malaysia looks calm on the outside, but actually it is chaotic and always racial and religious tension on the inside. This is what the British Empire did to Malay Peninsular by putting lots of immigrants of Chinese and Indian in the peninsular to create a non stop tension and conflict. FYI, Malay Peninsular had been in war with 3 western powers ( Portugal, Dutch, British ) since 1511 until complete defeat by early 1900. They even tried to convert the Malay to Christianity but failed after hundreds of years. That's explain the massive influx of Chinese and Indian immigrants in the peninsular. The British Empire won't allow for a reemergence of Malay Muslim economic power of Sultanate of Malacca.
We did not boycott KFC due to the Israel issue. We reject KFC because the quality declined too badly. They fried chicken sizes is half of other brands fried chicken sizes and it also taste very dry. Another factor is the economy factor, nowadays it's been a tough journey for majority of Malaysian as the cost of living has increased too much, thus most of Malaysian prefer local cheaper option for foods.
Its not the same tho. If you on social media and see malay people eating kfc/mcd everyone will cancel them. Nobody said don't eat kfc because of the service right now.
@@Ariel-my7lhmeh if the people around you is all those " politic heavy" then sure your social media full of that. In city area majority just go on as usual no one is "free " to busy with those politic stuff. The main things is because their quality drop yet price increase so fast. There are plenty of fast food chain that sell chicken in Malaysia korea ,local, Philippines, even Texas chicken also get more people . Last time people will say I want to eat burger go McDonald I want to eat friend chicken go KFC. Now even people that decide to buy fried chicken go to McDonald because their taste is better than KFC . That size of their Chicken almost minimize by half of the size of their product 10 years ago. Paying higher price for a smaller size chicken? People just change to other choices .
Fried chicken sold at stalls by the roadside tastes better and costs less. Malaysians should seize this opportunity to start local brands that can easily challenge KFC or any of the low quality international brands.
nice move...its also a huge advantage for local brands to expose themselves .. Malaysian cuisines are one if the best in the world.. im sure they have a brands that serve much more tasty & delicious similar kind of foods.. but they couldnt compete to a massive brands globally such as KFC, McDonalds & Starbucks.. 🎉
similarly can also be said for the women and children in Gaza too. they did nothing wrong but end up losing their lives and limbs. finding food, water, medical aid or even a safe place to sleep in Gaza these days is not easy either.

Its actually closing not because of boycott. This boycott happened only affect around 10%. Whats more accurate is because of food quality of KFC is declining and getting more expensive. If not because of boycott, kfc still losing its customer
It is suggested that the company rebrand to better reflect its current offerings. A name such as Kentucky Fried Bird may be more appropriate and reflective of the company's products.
Not just Malaysia, is happened most nation includes USA, closing 100 outlets still got more 100+ functional, As Malaysian, we got plenty fast food to choose .
KFC over the years in Malaysia has not really up their service , as well as speed of service , an emergence of Texas Church Chicken , hampered them along with Boycott… they are temporarily suspending business at certain areas in Malaysia … same goes to Pizza hut , another partner of them
They are paying for the arrogance of MacDonald, specially MacDonald Israel branch. Giving free lunch to IDF and then promoting it on X and instagram, what did they expected ? And the response from MacDonald Main at the time was lackluster, saying only it is on the freedom of each branch.
+ price. i see huge difference in pricing in a year... i cant bring myself to actually go and buy KFC with that lind of price increase... almost double. and the quality (size, taste) is no where similar to years ago. i rather go McD, tho quite expensive, but not as expensive as KFC. i work oversea, even me think KFC is overpriced
Boycott aside, KFC is competing in tougher f&b industry in the country. In less than a decade, I've seen so many new fast food/intnl food chains across the country. The quality of the food and overall service have been deteriorating over the last decade...dont know why I should go there again
*"...a nationwide boycott of American brands." Then they should stop using Windows, Cisco, MAC, iOS, Android, Intel, Nvidia, AMD, Qualcomm products, all of which will immediately shut-down their public and private sectors reliant to run computers, networks, and other technological related infrastructures. smh.*
how puerile. so every approach should be binary then? all or none? i think going with a heterogenous approach to combating immorality and genocide as a collective and seeing actual results is a far more mature response than the 2 seconds it took for you to construct your diluted milo comment.
we really cant do much about that, we boycott the fast food because we know there is local business that can replace them but electronics is a problem because there is no competitors, we are stuck with it for now

i live near to 2 KFC branch,for decades every night people line up to buy until 11.30 night...but last 5 months....kfc from the morning till the evening, only 1-2 chinese goes to buy at a time, plus night time closes at 9.00pm.
The boycott in Malaysia happened for a long time way before the Palestinian war with israel. Its becahse of KFC scamming and deceiving customers. Especially rhe increase in price and the portions of chicken are extremely small, its like eating a thin layer of meat with giant bones. It took me 4 bites only to finish a chicken breast. The services there are terrible too. KFC being boycott by all races in Malaysia as everyone shared similar experiences. While McDonald's suffered only the Muslim side of Boycott, they serve decent portions of food and having quite a lot of offers. I still go McDonald's to eat occasionally, its nice when many customers are gone and the offers kept flowing in. Normally there are many who pretended to boycott but secretly eats McDonald's.
Yep.. So true. They can boycott TH-cam and the likes, that will be so fun to see that happening. 😅 Those who boycott so called companies working with Israel are so funny 😅lol
Can't boycott everything. If you did you'd have to live in a remote place with your own garden as basically everything is run by the zionist and even that is almost impossible to do. Did you fall on your head as a child?
If people wish to boycott a select few rather than hundreds, what's the problem? I'm boycotting McDonald's, but my line of work clearly prevents me from boycotting Microsoft. It benefits both your finances and health.
Malaysia is a food heaven. McD or KFC or whatever fast food chains out there, we can easily find local substitutes which are farrrrrrrrr superior in taste and quality. even without Israel apartheid atrocities to Palestinians, these food chains quality has gone from bad to worse. Boycott for the pocket, for health, also for humanity. ❤
This feels overwhelming! Someday, KFC might disappear from Malaysia, which would be a significant loss considering how much we adore it. In Malaysia, there's a tendency among some Muslim communities to boycott various establishments over seemingly minor issues, ranging from KFC and Starbucks to KK Mart.
@@Knick-Knack69you do know that boycotts arent only abt the anti israel thing right? there are other reasons too and sometimes theyre more than necessary.
Is not the about boycott. Is about their management. Priority for food delivery Walk in customers need to wait for 45minute just for 1 snack plate…. Never prepared enough chicken, always empty. Pizzahut soon will be close too, pizzas take to 45-50 minutes, Marrybrown aswell priority food delivery, Walk in wait 30-45 Zus coffee flavour worst than coffee shop. Ppl prefer McDonald ,domino’s & coffee bean.
Doesn't matter kfc have 700 stores in Malaysia whereas 3000 in usa,1100 in india and guess what who has the most? Yes their daddy china with 7000 stores.
before this i'm kfc lover....even sometimes got big and small pieces of chicken,i dont care bcoz i love the taste,after october last year i never been to kfc. me,my family and my friends also boycott.
For anyone mentioning job loss? Are you that ignorant? Small businesses will prosper and they don't have to pay a franchise fee, all the money for the country and its people.
They also lose the big brand name which contributes to sale numbers. Many local and small businesses in f&b bankrupt because it is so hard to establish a brand.
mcd and starbuck wont follow only brainless meleis will think so malays (with brain) and everyone else is still going despite the boycott yall so desperately want
Not just anti-Israel boycott, the quality of food at KFC is not as great as before even before the massive on-going boycott because of on-going Israel-Palestine war since October 2023.
Hope that next will be 🍔🍟🥤McDonald's follow by Burger King, 🍕Pizza Hut, 🍔 Burger King, 🥪☕️Starbucks, 🥖Subway, 🍩 Dunkin' Donuts and so on. All these fastfood are unhealthy junk food which contains high sugars, saturated or trans fats, salt, many different type of processed preservatives and ingredients and it also lacks of some beneficial nutrients which are a wide spread of diabetes, obesity and chronic disease in human body. It's best to eat home cooked meals.
Don't use youtube, google, windows, android, etc. If US sacntion your poor counrty for supporting Hamas, you will be living in apocalypse in 24hrs and you will play victim like those Palestines.
They didnt realize that local fried chicken (Tastier, Cheap, Big portion) is the reason why KFC loss (this mostly happened in Indonesia, malaysia and many other country where local fried chicken rise up)
Yes, i am somehow agree. I been Ukraine before, I like their place and people. I think Russia shouldn't attack Ukraine even they didn't withdraw NATO application. Anyhow, Malaysia have less bonding with Ukraine. Somehow religion really do make people feel like relationship of "brother and sister", applicable to Christian as well.
Is there have any rules like if boycotting, must be boycott everything? Even people attack also won't use suicide attack or kamikaze way. Don't make Malaysian looks like idiot. People only boycott those doesn't much affect their living. Anyway, many said the main reason is not really boycotting, but their food quality instead.
Wars aside, The currency is weak, less buying power ppl opt for cheaper options, The warring places has just quicken it's inevitable conditions, The reason why KFC is not doing well in its origin country is the same, The chain is focused on mushrooming, quantity over quality for profit
Boycott has been happening for several years already due to the quality of food and services getting worse. Price also increased terribly. And yes, the recent Gaza incident made it much worse.
Sure thing but it has increased significantly with the genocide in Palestine so it this case they temporarily closed it because of that and not because of food/service getting worse.

@secrets.295 As a chinese malaysian, I agree with what you said. But luckily I am not one of those people😇
Only in West Malaysia, not in East Malaysia. In East Malaysia, KFC still operate as usual, many costumer came and buy.
truly sad, all the people that will be unemployed…
True. More store closed than new ones open.
We did not boycott KFC due to the Israel issue. We reject KFC because the quality declined too badly.
They fried chicken sizes is half of other brands fried chicken sizes and it also taste very dry.
Another factor is the economy factor, nowadays it's been a tough journey for majority of Malaysian as the cost of living has increased too much, thus most of Malaysian prefer local cheaper option for foods.
Its not the same tho. If you on social media and see malay people eating kfc/mcd everyone will cancel them. Nobody said don't eat kfc because of the service right now.
@@Ariel-my7lhmeh if the people around you is all those " politic heavy" then sure your social media full of that. In city area majority just go on as usual no one is "free " to busy with those politic stuff. The main things is because their quality drop yet price increase so fast. There are plenty of fast food chain that sell chicken in Malaysia korea ,local, Philippines, even Texas chicken also get more people . Last time people will say I want to eat burger go McDonald I want to eat friend chicken go KFC. Now even people that decide to buy fried chicken go to McDonald because their taste is better than KFC . That size of their Chicken almost minimize by half of the size of their product 10 years ago. Paying higher price for a smaller size chicken? People just change to other choices .
Fried chicken sold at stalls by the roadside tastes better and costs less. Malaysians should seize this opportunity to start local brands that can easily challenge KFC or any of the low quality international brands.
Correct!
I doubt that
nice move...its also a huge advantage for local brands to expose themselves ..
Malaysian cuisines are one if the best in the world..
im sure they have a brands that serve much more tasty & delicious similar kind of foods..
but they couldnt compete to a massive brands globally such as KFC, McDonalds & Starbucks..
🎉
Even if there were no boycotts, nobody wants to pay the price of a whole chicken for 2 pieces of chicken.
It's just sad for those KFC Malaysia employees, they did nothing wrong and will be laid off. Finding work nowadays is not easy.
similarly can also be said for the women and children in Gaza too. they did nothing wrong but end up losing their lives and limbs. finding food, water, medical aid or even a safe place to sleep in Gaza these days is not easy either.
Those are low level jobs that can be found in local restaurants also.
@@jjsamuelgunn1136It is hard to tell that to people who do not have a shred of humanity in them.
@@matzmnyes. Especially those that work decades with the company with comfortable salaries and pensions waiting. Hopefully they would get hired by.. oh wait no one could. Or u could be the one to explain to their kids why their parents get laid off because of something happening half the world away
Especially working in KFC for so long... Can they assemble electronic or assemble cars.. Those Manager level will cry.. What job to find them.. Back to square one, production worker.
KFC is expensive these days. That alone should have affected its sales.
Eat local foods guys! ❤
Yep, its wiser and better to eat local food than eating all these American's unhealthy junk food like 🍔🍟🥤🌭McDonald's, Burger King, 🍕Pizza Hut, 🍗KFC.
I like chicken but i don't like KFC for it price. No need for boycotting, i would never eat there.
Not gonna lie, before the boycott the food quality is bad like couple years ago the chicken was big but now its so small
Its actually closing not because of boycott. This boycott happened only affect around 10%. Whats more accurate is because of food quality of KFC is declining and getting more expensive. If not because of boycott, kfc still losing its customer
Not really. Its becauss they stop serving chicken. They serves small bird size meal nowadays. Come on.. They quality is hawkers level.
It is suggested that the company rebrand to better reflect its current offerings. A name such as Kentucky Fried Bird may be more appropriate and reflective of the company's products.
Not just Malaysia, is happened most nation includes USA, closing 100 outlets still got more 100+ functional,
As Malaysian, we got plenty fast food to choose .
Uncertain how much it will help Palestine. But surely it has already affected the staffs working at KFC.
So true. What a shame.
It’s clickbait, it’s not why it’s going on
Staffs can find other fastfood jobs.
Health is more important than fast-food.
Indeed!
It's not only about the boycott but the quality is getting worse day by day. We have better choice with better price out there.
If I would boycott, it wouldnt be for political reasons, mainly the price increase and smaller quantities
Genocide, ethnic cleansing, and holocaust are only politics. Finally someone smart. People die anyways why would you care if non-whites die.
I myself haven’t at KFC for a long time because it is getting too expensive. Sadly 😅
And the portion of chicken meat 🍗 also became smaller.
@@Paul-H-Wolfram6608 well said
same thought, for me, its definitely not boycott, will go eat again when it gets better (price, proportion and taste)
@@Knick-Knack69 💪💪💪
KFC over the years in Malaysia has not really up their service , as well as speed of service , an emergence of Texas Church Chicken , hampered them along with Boycott… they are temporarily suspending business at certain areas in Malaysia … same goes to Pizza hut , another partner of them
They are paying for the arrogance of MacDonald, specially MacDonald Israel branch.
Giving free lunch to IDF and then promoting it on X and instagram, what did they expected ?
And the response from MacDonald Main at the time was lackluster, saying only it is on the freedom of each branch.
You know you're watching this video on TH-cam right? Their owner Google donates more to the IDF than KFC or McDonald's 😂
@@DenLim123They will never boycott youtube they only want to boycott things which have no effect on their comforts 😂😂
@@DenLim123 and I have never paid a cent to youtube or google.
@@lonesomefencesitter3186 we have an idiot here who doesn't know how youtube and Google make money.
@@lonesomefencesitter3186 Google has made billions selling you and those boycotters data.😂😂😂
TBH, my regular roadside auntie nasi lemak ayam goreng is 1000x better than KFC any day! not to mention cheaper and better portions.
The size and taste getting worse the main reason
+ price. i see huge difference in pricing in a year... i cant bring myself to actually go and buy KFC with that lind of price increase... almost double. and the quality (size, taste) is no where similar to years ago. i rather go McD, tho quite expensive, but not as expensive as KFC. i work oversea, even me think KFC is overpriced
MALAYSIA KFC use quail as a chicken, that's why a lot citizen complaint before boycott. From kl, malaysia
It is time for local brands to takes on .....
Thank you Malaysia, i hope Indonesia also followed suit, closing KFC outlets and Israeli-affiliated companies, which were more numerous
Boycott aside, KFC is competing in tougher f&b industry in the country. In less than a decade, I've seen so many new fast food/intnl food chains across the country.
The quality of the food and overall service have been deteriorating over the last decade...dont know why I should go there again
*"...a nationwide boycott of American brands." Then they should stop using Windows, Cisco, MAC, iOS, Android, Intel, Nvidia, AMD, Qualcomm products, all of which will immediately shut-down their public and private sectors reliant to run computers, networks, and other technological related infrastructures. smh.*
how puerile. so every approach should be binary then? all or none? i think going with a heterogenous approach to combating immorality and genocide as a collective and seeing actual results is a far more mature response than the 2 seconds it took for you to construct your diluted milo comment.
I hope Abd00ls get off TH-cam for a start. That would be a great boycott as far as I am concerned.
we really cant do much about that, we boycott the fast food because we know there is local business that can replace them but electronics is a problem because there is no competitors, we are stuck with it for now
@@aqilarif9903 Buy Chinese and Japanese computers handphones and all electrical products. From now we need to develop our own product. Just like China and Korea. Dah nak berak beru gali lubang.
We don't have to boycott them. The price and quality made us stop buying lol
FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸❤
Lets all support local food...we can do our own better fried chicken, burger, and coffee.
pls bro make it for me , like Ramly and yea
Proud to be Malaysia!
Like, I don't understand why junkfood is popular in countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, etc., where their local food is not only better but also cheaper.
Proud of Malaysians. Great Work.
For what? Why?
😂
It's not about boycott but it's about quality of nutrition,taste and price.Better support local products.More about asian choices.
i live near to 2 KFC branch,for decades every night people line up to buy until 11.30 night...but last 5 months....kfc from the morning till the evening, only 1-2 chinese goes to buy at a time, plus night time closes at 9.00pm.
sad
For more on this: sc.mp/d61wn
It because the food quality become so bad, KFC Fries just so bland and its like been made several days before
well i heard jolibee is also famous food chain. come to malaysia other than capital city, support local or south east asian brand!
And yet these people who boycott KFC are still using Google, TH-cam, Facebook and WhatsApp 😂
Uh
The boycott in Malaysia happened for a long time way before the Palestinian war with israel. Its becahse of KFC scamming and deceiving customers. Especially rhe increase in price and the portions of chicken are extremely small, its like eating a thin layer of meat with giant bones. It took me 4 bites only to finish a chicken breast. The services there are terrible too.
KFC being boycott by all races in Malaysia as everyone shared similar experiences. While McDonald's suffered only the Muslim side of Boycott, they serve decent portions of food and having quite a lot of offers. I still go McDonald's to eat occasionally, its nice when many customers are gone and the offers kept flowing in. Normally there are many who pretended to boycott but secretly eats McDonald's.
Yep.. So true. They can boycott TH-cam and the likes, that will be so fun to see that happening. 😅
Those who boycott so called companies working with Israel are so funny 😅lol
Can't boycott everything. If you did you'd have to live in a remote place with your own garden as basically everything is run by the zionist and even that is almost impossible to do. Did you fall on your head as a child?
If people wish to boycott a select few rather than hundreds, what's the problem? I'm boycotting McDonald's, but my line of work clearly prevents me from boycotting Microsoft. It benefits both your finances and health.
the food was getting worse and expensive
Ban over more things , so that investors could go to phillipines, veitnam, thailand lol
Fast food is getting more expensive and the quantity and quality of it is getting less nowadays. Not worth to spend money to eat it.
Malaysia is a food heaven. McD or KFC or whatever fast food chains out there, we can easily find local substitutes which are farrrrrrrrr superior in taste and quality. even without Israel apartheid atrocities to Palestinians, these food chains quality has gone from bad to worse. Boycott for the pocket, for health, also for humanity. ❤
I am Israeli and I tell you Israeli people just want peace
Why this channel wrote it as anti-American, but the. Truth is KFC foods tastes bad and too high price ? Comments report by Malay people.
Dont worry just make our own kfc recipe theres tons of video even shorts youtube about hot to make it
BOYCOTT EVERY PRODUCT OF ISRAEL.
which?
This feels overwhelming! Someday, KFC might disappear from Malaysia, which would be a significant loss considering how much we adore it. In Malaysia, there's a tendency among some Muslim communities to boycott various establishments over seemingly minor issues, ranging from KFC and Starbucks to KK Mart.
what they should do is abandoning this "boycott culture"
@@Knick-Knack69you do know that boycotts arent only abt the anti israel thing right? there are other reasons too and sometimes theyre more than necessary.
Why close? I still wasn't prepared for the closure and I would like to enjoy some last few bites of kfc..
Ah yes, Kelantan is the most obvious one on this
35,000 deaths .. 😭
The thumbnail is like malaysia in 90's bruh.....
So glad Malaysia is sovereign and not under US control like Japan, Philippines, Korea…etc.
Is not the about boycott.
Is about their management.
Priority for food delivery
Walk in customers need to wait for 45minute just for 1 snack plate…. Never prepared enough chicken, always empty.
Pizzahut soon will be close too, pizzas take to 45-50 minutes,
Marrybrown aswell priority food delivery, Walk in wait 30-45
Zus coffee flavour worst than coffee shop.
Ppl prefer McDonald ,domino’s & coffee bean.
Doesn't matter kfc have 700 stores in Malaysia whereas 3000 in usa,1100 in india and guess what who has the most? Yes their daddy china with 7000 stores.
They ain’t corporately owned, they’ve franchises
@@entezami777kfc is literally a franchise business
Just tried it today,taste like absulote expired chicken
Well McDonalds or Burgerking it is
Bet the boycott probably funded by them too 😆
@@TOURS732 lol

before this i'm kfc lover....even sometimes got big and small pieces of chicken,i dont care bcoz i love the taste,after october last year i never been to kfc.
me,my family and my friends also boycott.
For anyone mentioning job loss? Are you that ignorant? Small businesses will prosper and they don't have to pay a franchise fee, all the money for the country and its people.
They also lose the big brand name which contributes to sale numbers. Many local and small businesses in f&b bankrupt because it is so hard to establish a brand.
soon to follow : McD and Starbuck
Go malaysia go
mcd and starbuck wont follow
only brainless meleis will think so
malays (with brain) and everyone else is still going despite the boycott yall so desperately want
@@clapdemcheeks8111 they do, go updates the latest news, malays consumer power no doubt it, why do you hurt?😂
Not just anti-Israel boycott, the quality of food at KFC is not as great as before even before the massive on-going boycott because of on-going Israel-Palestine war since October 2023.
Hope that next will be 🍔🍟🥤McDonald's follow by Burger King, 🍕Pizza Hut, 🍔 Burger King, 🥪☕️Starbucks, 🥖Subway, 🍩 Dunkin' Donuts and so on.
All these fastfood are unhealthy junk food which contains high sugars, saturated or trans fats, salt, many different type of processed preservatives and ingredients and it also lacks of some beneficial nutrients which are a wide spread of diabetes, obesity and chronic disease in human body. It's best to eat home cooked meals.
What about youtube google apple intel microsoft?..no one boycott?..LOL
Foreigners stay out of other countries' politics.
So why are you still using this TH-cam 😏.. TH-cam is much bigger than those fast food restaurants
@@queenlip6152 says a filthy british who thinks they still have control of malaya
Don't use youtube, google, windows, android, etc. If US sacntion your poor counrty for supporting Hamas, you will be living in apocalypse in 24hrs and you will play victim like those Palestines.
They didnt realize that local fried chicken (Tastier, Cheap, Big portion) is the reason why KFC loss (this mostly happened in Indonesia, malaysia and many other country where local fried chicken rise up)
Well people become blind for Ukraine people
Ig they only care about their religion people .
so u're blinded by a brand? i wanna live a healthy live without those junks, not fat like u
Yes, i am somehow agree. I been Ukraine before, I like their place and people. I think Russia shouldn't attack Ukraine even they didn't withdraw NATO application. Anyhow, Malaysia have less bonding with Ukraine. Somehow religion really do make people feel like relationship of "brother and sister", applicable to Christian as well.
Misleading. The quality deteriorate. Expensive. Why do I need to buy their foods when there are better local options with cheaper price?
KFC Malaysian gives bad services, really not satisfied compare with McDonald's.
Yes that true😊
You are criticising your own Muslim brothers
no longer goto kfc after they switched to machine ordering, i almost always get chicken breast, cant choose, and source machine always not working.
McDonald's has better fried chicken than KFC
Sending the wrong signal to the investors Malaysia don’t need FDI…selective boycotting culture…
Racism, apartheid and genocide lover is it
Why only KFC? Boycott facebook, instagram, x, google, etc and go back using either chinese or nothing
China has been persecuting Uygher Muslims but these Muslim countries never say anything. The hypocrisy is unreal
Is there have any rules like if boycotting, must be boycott everything? Even people attack also won't use suicide attack or kamikaze way. Don't make Malaysian looks like idiot. People only boycott those doesn't much affect their living. Anyway, many said the main reason is not really boycotting, but their food quality instead.
Because kfc is trash and got no value in life
Douyin is full of Malaysian Chinese
i use Catbook now..
Wars aside,
The currency is weak, less buying power ppl opt for cheaper options,
The warring places has just quicken it's inevitable conditions,
The reason why KFC is not doing well in its origin country is the same,
The chain is focused on mushrooming, quantity over quality for profit
gila, malaysia mantap memang
Poor employees, they became unemployed just because their fellow Malaysian too serious about politics. I hope their family is doing well.
not several, but over hundreds outlet are closed
