Boycotting Businesses: Federal Territory Religious Department: Extremist Behavior Violates Religious Teachings

April 16, 2024


Lukman Abdullah of the Federal Territory Religious Department advises individuals considering boycotting businesses allegedly associated with Israel not to cross moral boundaries and calls for respect for the rule of law.

According to a report by "Free Malaysia Today," Lukman Abdullah stated that the decision to boycott a brand or product lies solely with consumers, and others should not impose their will on them.


"I urge everyone, regardless of their actions, to adhere to morality and maintain good behavior," he said. He added that whether to boycott establishments like McDonald's is entirely up to consumers. Following the outbreak of the Israel-Palestine conflict, Israeli McDonald's announced that five outlets would provide 4,000 meals daily to civilians, healthcare workers, and the military.



However, this move was seen as expressing support for the Israeli military, leading to dissatisfaction among many Muslim countries supporting Hamas or Palestine, prompting them to boycott.


Nevertheless, Gerbang Alaf Restaurants Sdn Bhd, the operator of McDonald's in Malaysia, emphasized that the donation of meals by Israeli McDonald's does not reflect the values or actions of McDonald's Malaysia and is merely a unilateral and independent market action by Israeli McDonald's.


McDonald's Malaysia is a locally operated company that has been under the ownership of Lionhorn Pte. Ltd since 2017, and it is wholly owned by Muslims under the Reza Group, a Saudi Arabian company.


Subsequently, the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement (BDS Malaysia) called for a boycott of McDonald's Malaysia.

On the 13th of this April, the police confirmed that 5 individuals were arrested for insulting and provoking Malay-Muslim customers at a McDonald's outlet, one of whom is a soldier.


The police invoked Section 506 of the Penal Code (criminal intimidation) for investigation, which carries a maximum penalty of 2 years' imprisonment or a fine, or both upon conviction.

In response, Lukman Abdullah reminded Muslims that extremist behavior goes against Islamic teachings. "Whatever you do, it must not be illegal or cross moral boundaries.

Nope still same for me, boycott amdk and practice full MCO protocol wherever possible

Only take away?

Full MCO protocol means?

Wear mask when outside, avoid any enclosed public places like shopping mall and cinema, order all my grocery from grab delivery, only work 100% remote job

You have post-COVID-19 syndrome ?

I never got COVID at all. 2 x sinovac and safety precautions above

A few MNC are planning to move their production lines from here. In a few years time, many will complain for lack of job opportunities and have only themselves to blame.

What goes around, comes around. For reasons, why some countries are poor even have cheap labour e.g Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc.

May I know which MNC?

"

I will no longer support USA and made-in-USA products whenever possible." I am already removing USA apps from my phone and PC due to the ..

Many people say they boycott USA restaurants, but they still stay at Marriott Hotels, Hilton Hotels, and IHG hotels, or use other USA products.

Many Japanese and EU companies are closely related to u.s.

If you walked the talk; your mentality and life is isolationism, like north Korean, Iranian, Cuban, Afghanistan etc regime. Don't blame others for been poor and undeveloped.
