Life as a consumer in Malaysia is easy: see "Produk Melayu" or "Produk Buatan Muslim" and the like -> don't fucking buy.Otherwise if it has no stupid mentions of race or religion, and if it's a good or safe product for you (i.e. for consumption) then please buy all you want. If it's a local product, I say that's better.

I'm adding this in case my point isn't clear to some: I'm not saying you shouldn't buy a product made by Malays/[insert race here] or Muslims/[insert religion here], please do.What I'm saying is that you shouldn't buy a product that proudly states that it was made/sold by Malays/[insert race here] or Muslims/[insert religion here]. The reason why should be obvious.Also for context: this is referring to the new "Darsa Fried Chicken" brand that are dubbing themselves as (what should be) a Malays/Muslims' choice of alternative to #KFC (due to boycott).For one, I don't find the need to boycott KFC because it's NOT in #BDS's list and I'm not one to go willy nilly boycotting brands just because - but if you are trying to look for an alternative to popular, foreign brands due to their rising prices and deteriorating quality (which most people say as their true reason for boycotting KFC in Malaysia), get your fried chicken and other fast food meals from #Marrybrown.I'm sure most Malaysians already have heard of it but yes it's local, it came from Johor and used to be something I could only (easily) get from there but they've expanded to pretty much everywhere for a quite long while now. If you've not tried it, or it's been a long time since you did, please try them when you're feeling up to it because their foods and also just as important, selection of foods are actually really good and much improved from their old days.đź”— https://bdsmovement.net/Act-Now-Against-These-Companies-Profiting-From-Genocideđź”— https://marrybrown.com

@irfan There’s a couple of or a few Sugarbun branches in KL which is another great local fast food chain. I heard that LFC is also decent but I’ve never tried it. I started going to Richiamo Coffee branches some time ago because it’s cheap and local but then saw nationalists posting “boycott Starbucks AND Zus because they have chinese bosses and choose Richiamo because it’s bumi business” which certainly left a bit of a sour taste, though I don’t think Richiamo is behind it.
