>KFC is among a number of Western brands in Malaysia, where more than 60 percent
of the population is Muslim, that have been subject to boycott calls over their
perceived links to Israel. >“Contributing positively to the Malaysian community,
preserving the brand love for KFC and protecting employees of the brand are all
priority to the organisation. Employees from affected outlets were offered the
opportunity to relocate to busier operating stores as part of the company’s
re-optimisation efforts,” the company said in a statement on Monday. >In
February, McDonald’s cited boycott campaigns in the Middle East, Indonesia and
Malaysia for sales growing just 0.7 percent during the fourth quarter of 2023,
compared with a 16.5 percent growth the previous year.
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they’ll listen now
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night
You took your life, as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you
