KFC Malaysia has suspended operations of numerous outlets, citing challenging economic conditions. The closures came amid reports of boycotts of the business over its perceived links to Israel, with local media reporting over 100 outlets had closed. Employees from affected stores were offered relocation to stores with higher customer engagement. Other American brands have been targeted in Malaysia over US support of Israel’s war on Gaza.

  • 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.

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.

    • 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.

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.
