It happened again. This time the LHC overheated due to a piece of bread a bird dropped outside its lab. Come on! Read all about it!

Comment on No Value Meals to Israel: McDonalds tries to reassure Malaysian customers by Johanan Sen

Thank you for your comments.

Let me just say at this point I posted the memo because I found it interesting, not to support or to oppose McDonalds in any way.

The part of what you said that I feel the need to rebut is:

“…owning the brand Mc Donald does mean you have to give some of the profits to the real owners of Mc Donalds (eg. in the US.) those profits in return apart be used for Israel.”

I do find that connection a little remote — between McDonalds and Israel.

Every citizen, including the corporate ones, have little control over what governments do with their tax dollars.

That said, while a stance against America for its GOVERNMENT’s support of Israel makes sense, the damage in banning franchises like McD’s in Malaysia would mainly impact the Malaysian workforce and economy.

Buried in that PR statement was a reminder that McDonalds Malaysia is a local company. McDonalds corp in the States wouldn’t care about the tiny fees our ban would have cost them. The Malaysian who signed that memo does (or rather did).

I find myself in an odd position. I don’t think McDonalds is a really healthy place to get a meal and Israel’s actions fill me with abhorrence. But here I am, arguing vehemently for a side I never thought I would.

With the current state of our economy and the local impact a ban on American products would have on MALAYSIA, I just feel we ought to take a step back and reevaluate if we could find a better way to show our dislike for Israel.

I don’t think a move that hurts us more than them is a smart way of facing any foe.

Yes maybe of all the statement is correct but owning the brand Mc Donald does mean you have to give some of the profits to the real owners of Mc Donalds (eg. in the US.) those profits in return apart be used for Israel.
Of course Mc D Malaysia have no involvement because they just commit to their sales stated above but they didn’t tell you what they do with the apart of the profits given to the real owner of the franchise.

Well soon, we won’t need to dial in. We’ll be wired, connected through wearable tech. We’ll broadcast what we think and see through the Internets and Zuckerberg will copyright our every thought.

It’s a future I like to call “I’m'a get me the hell up outta here!”

Your words of course ring true. It’s not so easy now for some to criticize the havenots now that they have become members of the species. The game is new and they sit silently- confused.
