Malaysian Muslims to Boycott Coca-Cola

By EILEEN NG / AP WRITERWednesday, January 7, 2009

KUALA LUMPUR—More than 2,000 Muslim restaurants in Malaysia will remove Coca-Cola from their menus as part of a boycott of American products in protest against Israel's bombardment of Gaza, officials said on Wednesday.
American companies are being targeted because of the US government's support of Israel, which is carrying out a military offensive on Gaza that is aimed at stopping rocket attacks from the Hamas-controlled territory.
The nationwide boycott will be launched on Friday by several Muslim groups after they seek God's blessings at Friday prayers, said Ma'mor Osman, secretary-general of the Malaysian Muslim Consumers Association which is leading the campaign.
In addition to Coca-Cola, he said they have identified some 100 other products ranging from food to beauty and clothing, and brand names such Starbucks, Colgate, McDonald's and Maybelline.
Since the Israeli offensive began, nearly 600 Palestinians, about half of them civilians, have been killed and at least 2,500 people injured, according to United Nations and Palestinian officials. Eleven Israelis have also been killed.
Muslims in Malaysia and around the world have held demonstrations against the Israeli action but Ma'mor said such protests are futile.
"A boycott is the best way for us to protest Zionist cruelty against the Palestinian people as consumers can weaken the economy of countries like Israel and its ally, the US," he said.
"We urge everybody who loves peace and is against war to support our campaign. We must send a clear signal to Israel to stop the assaults in Gaza," he said.
Some 2,600 restaurants under the Association of Muslim Restaurant Operators will stop selling Coca-Cola from Friday, he added.
The move came after former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, a strident critic of Israel, last week urged consumers and governments to boycott American products and the US dollar.
Israel sent troops and tanks into Hamas-controlled Gaza on Saturday after a weeklong aerial bombardment, sparking outrage among Muslims worldwide.
Malaysia's government, which has no diplomatic ties with Israel, has denounced Israel's ground offensive as "an act of total war" which cannot be tolerated.
The US has also been criticized for blocking approval of a UN Security Council statement calling for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

Good for them.

I fully support their efforts.

Do you boycott Intel too? Just asking

[Mr Gently Benevolent]

Looking round the fruit & veg section of ASDA the other day and tallying up the number of products that were of Israeli origin I would say a European boycott would hurt a little.

and intel isn't the company that produce processor.AMD does the same thing too

Coca Cola in Malaysia is owned by F&N, a Malaysian company.

Boycotting US goods over Israel is probably the most ineffective boycott known, any effective boycott should target products of Israeli manufacture which there many. The boycott of agricultural products has the quickest and most direct effect especially fresh produce.

Are you going to join?

[Mr Gently Benevolent]

Are you going to join?Yes I will not buy any fruit or veg from Israel or the Gaza Strip until you guys start to get along and for good measure I put a line through a purchase order for bulk bins made by DOLAV just for good measure. Looks like the bin order will go to Alibert.

Define "get a long"?

Oh and only fruits and veggies?

[ayanami_tard]

^i think it means you guys be nice and don't shoot at each other on sight

that would be good enough

[Mr Gently Benevolent]

Define "get a long"?

Oh and only fruits and veggies?A stalemate or uneasy truce would be fine, I would not expect anything more. Boycotting agri produce especially fresh has the quickest effect but the thought of any other product boycott is just plain silly apart from putting a stop on the DOLAV order on a whim.

[Mr.Flint]

Well you should tell those Hamas dumbasses to stop shooting at us.....

Your money.. your choice.

But in this age of globalization, no single product or product development is produced in a single country.

Therefore boycotts have very little effect other than to raise awareness.

[Mr Gently Benevolent]

you do know that almost all of the agri workers in Israel are either Palastinians with work permits, Israeli Arabs and foreign workers, right?I believe that Palastinians make up the lesser number of agri workers in Israel nowdays and did see something on the TV about Israeli organic farming and on one farm most of the workers had that whole Ashenazi look going and they sounded very American.

[Hawaii_Light]

Boycotting Coca Cola is a great idea, doing it to protest what is going in Gaza is perhaps the stupidest reason to boycott coca cola.

good reasons to boycott Coca Cola:

1) It is the epitome of junk and fast-food culture

2) It's South American distribution company actively combats it's workers union using paramilitary forces.

3) It takes around four liters of fresh water to make one liter of cola, not such a bad thing?, talk to the poor Indian farmers whose water sources are tapped from underground by the coca cola facilities leaving them bone dry.

4) Adheres to the lowest environmental standereds as possible and sometimes acts with complete disregard towards the environment in countries who have no desire to enforce them.

5) Promotes child labour in El Salvidor (the sugar cane comes from fields where it is common for children to work under the age of 12)

Dumb reasons to boycott Coca Cola:
1) Gaza

Thank you for reading

[Mr Gently Benevolent]

Too bad the only things Hamas exports are terror and totalitarianism as I have no need for either. I would love to boycott them!Hamas does not as far as known conduct offensive operations outside of West Bank, Gaza Strip and Israel, they do however operate fund raising ventures in the EU and USA as do most other Palestinian and Zionist terror groups.

[Kopassus]

I dont understand why the Malaysian restaurants beginning with boycotting just now?
Everybody knows that Coca Cola supports Israel (financially) for years.

I think North American's should protest drinking Coca Cola and eating junk food, sure its unhealthy but it also causes one horrible side effect! A small ***** by way of obesety :(

Coca Cola in Malaysia is owned and produced locally in Malaysia. Coca Cola in Indonesia is owned by multi-national group led by Australians.

I love how naive people are. Most "American" brands, restaurants, etc have local franchisees, bottlers, manufacturers, distributors, etc. Boycotting the products only hurt local business as they still have to pay royalties and licensing fees to the American companies.

I also laugh at how everyone thinks Israel is "evil" for defending itself. If any of YOUR countries were in the same position, they would have taken the same action. Think about it.

Malaysia Calls for Sanctions on Israel

By VIJAY JOSHI / AP WRITERThursday, January 8, 2009

KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysia's leader on Thursday called for international sanctions on Israel for conducting lethal military strikes on Gaza, saying the international community has a "moral duty" to save the Palestinian people.
Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said in a speech to Malaysian and foreign diplomats that international sanctions have been applied for various breaches of the code of international conduct, and should be expanded to include violation of moral standards.
"On the issue of morality, Israel has to be sanctioned," Abdullah later told reporters. He denounced as "absolutely immoral" Israel's "excessive deployment of military power" in its air and ground offensive on Gaza since December 27 that has left at least 688 Palestinians dead.
More than 3,000 people have been injured and some 5,000 people have fled the border area in the operation aimed at snuffing out Hamas militants who have been firing rockets at Israel. Ten Israelis have been killed in the Hamas attacks.
Muslim-majority Malaysia is a staunch critic of Israel.
Abdullah did not elaborate on whether the sanctions should be economic or military, saying it is up to the United Nations to decide. Still, the proposal is unlikely to see the light of day as any sanctions must be approved by the UN Security Council where the United States, Israel's main ally, has veto power.
The Security Council has so far failed to agree on action to end the escalating crisis in Gaza, but Egypt plans to host separate talks with Israel and Hamas on a ceasefire proposal.
Abdullah said any ceasefire effort must include Israel withdrawing from Gaza.
But in a moderate success for Malaysian diplomacy, the president of the UN General Assembly has agreed to its proposal to hold an emergency special session on the humanitarian situation in Gaza later on Thursday. However, any resolution adopted by the 192-member world body would not be legally binding.

You are obviously do not conduct yourself in a professional manner at your place of employment. That your politics and warped ideology interferes in provisioning for the needs of your customers speaks volumes about you. If you feel so strongly in your beliefs, you should look for alternative employment. Kebab shops do great business. You perpetuate the Muslim stereotype just fine.

Malaysian Muslims plan mass boycott of American goods


http://img383.imageshack.us/img383/5686/kempenboikotprodukamerifc2.jpg


Thursday, Jan 08, 2009,


More than 2,000 Muslim restaurants in Malaysia will remove Coca-Cola from their menus as part of a boycott of US products in protest against Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, officials said yesterday.

US companies are being targeted because of the US government’s support of Israel, which is carrying out a military offensive on Gaza that is says is aimed at stopping rocket attacks from the Hamas-controlled territory.

The nationwide boycott will be launched on Friday by several Muslim groups after they seek God’s blessings at Friday prayers, said Ma’mor Osman, secretary-general of the Malaysian Muslim Consumers Association which is leading the campaign.

In addition to Coca-Cola, he said they have identified some 100 other products ranging from food to beauty and clothing such as Starbucks, Colgate, McDonald’s and Maybelline.

Since the Israeli offensive began, nearly 600 Palestinians, about half of them civilians, have been killed and at least 2,500 people injured, according to UN and Palestinian officials. Eleven Israelis have also been killed.

Muslims in Malaysia and worldwide have held demonstrations against the Israeli action but Ma’mor said such protests are futile.

“A boycott is the best way for us to protest Zionist cruelty against the Palestinian people as consumers can weaken the economy of countries like Israel and its ally, the US,” he said.

“We urge everybody who loves peace and is against war to support our campaign. We must send a clear signal to Israel to stop the assaults in Gaza,” he said.

The move came after former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad, a strident critic of Israel, last week urged consumers and governments to boycott US products and the US dollar.

Dr M calls for boycott of US goods



By Asrul Hadi Abdullah Sani



PUTRAJAYA, Jan 5- Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad today urged consumers to protest Israel’s invasion of Gaza by boycotting American products since the United States is Tel Aviv’s strongest supporter.

“They will not die if they do not drink Coca Cola,” the former prime minister said at a press conference today, as he urged Malaysians to make sacrifices to stop the violence in the Middle East.

Israel’s bombardment of Gaza has become a major issue here, with a majority of Malaysia’s Muslims sympathetic to the Palestinian cause.

Dr Mahathir’s call comes as Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi announced the government would send humanitarian aid to Gaza.

The former prime minister said he believes that people have the power and capacity to act for change.

This cannot be done by Malaysians alone, he added, but needs to be a worldwide movement.

He also urged governments to stop depending on the US dollar as a trading currency and instead look for alternatives such as the Euro.

He believes that if countries stop using US dollars, then the American economy would be in jeopardy since “America is a bankrupt nation”.

“Governments should stop buying weapons from the US and should look to Russia. This will cripple the American war industry and help stop the production and distribution of weapons,” he said.

Since the United States is Malaysia’s major trading partner, Dr Mahathir agreed that sacrifices would have to be made but “if you want to do something good, you have to pay the price.”

Dr Mahathir also said that the conflict between Hamas and Fatah was engineered by the US and Israel.

The root cause of the present war in Gaza was that Hamas was democratically elected, but the US and Israel were not in favour of them, he argued.

Dr Mahathir contends the US and Israel tried to use Fatah to get rid of Hamas but failed and are now resorting to their military strength.

He also reminded reporters that the present conflict is not a religious conflict but one involving territory.

He said that historically Muslims and Jews have lived peacefully together.

Boycott US goods and currency: Dr M



By MAZWIN NIK ANIS


PUTRAJAYA: The world community should boycott the United States’ currency and products to pressure the superpower to stop supporting the violent attacks by Israel against Palestine, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said.

The former prime minister said while governments might not be able to support the move as many were “scared stiff” of the superpower, the people could play their part to “save Palestine.”

“The people can act and they have the capacity to act,” he said, saying that the people need not consume US-branded soft drinks and that the government can’t force them to drink it.

“ If we need to buy weapons, we can always buy them from Russia instead of the United States.

“The boycott will have to be a universal effort. If confined to Malaysia alone, it is not gong to be effective, but Malaysians must also play their part.

“We must not allow ourselves to be cowed. Even if we do little things, I think we can achieve quite a lot,” he told a press conference Monday to talk on the latest developments in the Middle East.

Dr Mahathir, who is also the chairman of the Kuala Lumpur Foundation to Criminalise War, however acknowledged that there would be a price to pay if countries stopped trading with the world’s major trading nation.

“There is a price to pay for everything. If we want to do something good, then there will be a price to pay. I think if you whittle down involvement with the United States, slowly we will get used to it,” he said.

He said the best and the quickest solution to the Palestine issue was for the United States to stop supporting Israel’s atrocities, adding that while Israel was to be blamed for the deaths and maiming of thousands of Palestinians including women and children, the US and British governments should also be blamed for their “supportive role.”

“The United States is already paying the price for this. Their embassies have to have high walls and barbed wire all around. People hate the United States, but if they want to be hated by people it’s their business. But the support (for Israel) must stop,” he said.

Dr Mahathir said Malaysia’s effort to initiate the convening of a special United Nations general assembly should be supported, adding the assembly should meet and seek a resolution for Israel to pull out of Gaza and stop the atrocities.

“There are opinions that the fight between Israelis and Palestinians is about religion. The crisis is not a religious struggle between Muslims and Jews. It is a fight about territorial issues,” he said.

Dr Mahathir said he would talk with local non-governmental organisations on boycotting US products and would also write to several leaders to urge them to play their part in putting a stop to the killings in Palestine.

20% of Israelis are Palestinian Christians and Muslims.
200,000 Palestinians are Christians residng within the West Bank and Israel.

Whould Malaysia discriminate and deny the right of entry of Israeli Palestinians with an Israeli passport?

Thanks HangPC! In our country Aqua (Danone) is no1 drinkwater, Ades (CocaCola) is also one of the biggest, but we have more than 20 other brands.....

[Kopassus]

We already discussed this one and concluded it's only going to hurt the local Malaysian bottlers and distributors (etc). But if the people want to cause a little damage to their economy, more power to them I suppose.
If the Malaysian people go to drink other lokal brands instead of brands like CC, that means that the factories of the local brands needs more employees for the production, have to build extra production buildings, stores.....so the fired employees of CC can get their new jobs there...

Training, larger infrastructure, and expansion takes time and planning.

The likely scenario is that by the time they start breaking ground the "Boycott" will have dwindled to a few idiot hardliners (as has happened in 99.9% of all large scale boycotts). Business will return to the MALAYSIAN companies who just happen to have licenses to sell an American brand. The local companies that tried to expand will now be faced with "back to normal" demand and take a nice loss from their no longer needed expansion projects.

The sheer idea of launching a boycott such as this in the first place is beyond stupidity. Say there was a little country in Malaysia ruled by a militant faction and it launched mortar and rocket attacks on Malaysia on a daily basis, killing dozens of civilians and leaving the population in terror. Pacifist and peace tactics don't work. Malaysia, just like any other country would be forced to take military action.

[LazerLordz]

For crying out loud, what has Israel's existence done to Malaysian national security or strategic interests? :roll:

I can perfectly understand if private groups want to organise a boycott, but for the government and Badawi to take such a stance, I'm not sure if it will actually make any credible inroad into the negotiation for a cease-fire.

From such a distance a boycot is the only way to support the Palestinians. But such a boycot has only effect if you keep doing it until the Palestinians get their country back, and not after 2 months already drinking a coke by McDonalds..

Malaysian consumer group begin to boycott US good over Gaza



Friday, 09 January 2009 10:37


A Malaysian consumer group began a boycott of top U.S. products on Friday as protesters demanded a halt to Israel's offensive on Gaza.


A Malaysian consumer group began a boycott of top U.S. products on Friday as protesters demanded a halt to Israel's offensive on Gaza amid growing anger in the Muslim world over Israel's 14-day offensive.

The Muslim Consumers Association of Malaysia said consumers in the Southeast Asian country would not buy goods produced by U.S. toothpaste manufacturer Colgate-Palmolive Co, soft drink maker Coca-Cola and coffee chain Starbucks to protest U.S. inaction against the attacks.

"We urge Muslim consumers internationally to unite so that we can teach a lesson to Israel and its allies," Ma'amor Osman, an official with the association, told reporters in the compound of the national mosque after Friday Muslim prayers.

"This is to object to the arrogance and cruelty of Israel and its allies towards the Palestinians."

He urged the Malaysian government to end all its contracts with U.S.-owned firms.

The United States is among Malaysia's single largest export markets, absorbing more than a tenth of its total shipments.


Protesters at embassy


Israeli strikes killed more than 750 Palestinians in Gaza and Israel pushed ahead with its offensive on Friday, ignoring a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire to the conflict.

The attacks have sparked angry demonstrations in countries with large Muslim populations such as Turkey, Indonesia, Iraq, Jordan, Pakistan and Egypt. On the other hand, hundreds of thousands of people across the world have staged big protests sunch as England, Norway, China, Venezulea, Spaine and Phillipines.

About 2,000 Muslim protesters gathered outside the U.S. embassy in the Malaysian capital on Friday, shouting anti-Israel slogans and "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest), as about 100 anti-riot police stood watch.

One protester carried a baby doll covered in a bloody shroud, while some burned effigies of U.S. President George W. Bush and Israel Prime Minister Ehud Olmert

Several mosques in the Malaysian capital held special prayers on Friday for the Palestinians.

Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has called for sanctions against Israel, saying the world has a "moral duty" to save the Palestinians, the New Straits Times newspaper reported on Friday.

Former premier Mahathir Mohamad urged Muslims worldwide to to stop using the U.S. dollar.

"If enough of us do this, then the value (of the US dollar) will fall, just like what they did to us in 1997," Mahathir said, referring to the 1997 Asian economic crisis that he blamed on currency speculators.

Mahathir urged the United Nations to set up a war crimes tribunal to try Israeli leaders involved in the attacks against the Palestinians.

I'll ask the Israeli Consul General in San Francisco who happens to be an Arab Muslim.

So what does Malaysia do when Sunni Muslims are killed by Shia Muslims and vice versa.

Or when Chinese are killed by Muslims in Indonesia during times of sectarian strife?

[budgie]

Boycotting US goods over Israel is probably the most ineffective boycott known, any effective boycott should target products of Israeli manufacture which there many. The boycott of agricultural products has the quickest and most direct effect especially fresh produce.


No doubt the symbolism trumps any effectiveness. After all street marchers protesting military action are hardly going to change the minds of a foreign government either.

There is none because Sudan is a Muslim country.

Just because these companies do business in Israel as well doesn't mean a boycott will affect their military efforts. Hamas members no doubt use the same PCs and drink Pepsi themselves.

Your money.. your choice.

But in this age of globalization, no single product or product development is produced in a single country.

Therefore boycotts have very little effect other than to raise awareness.

When Muslims massacre other Muslims, as in the case in Sudan, the Muslim World is silent and complicent. No boycotts, no protests, no outrage.

But when Non-Muslims are involved, they declare holy war, boycotts, protests and discriminate against Israelis.

Malays have double standards.

Why not be consistant and boycott, protests, and express outrage against inhuman activities regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, langauge, class and circumstances.

Where was the outrage in Malaysia when the Mumbai Terrorist murdered innocent people?

Where was the outrage in Malaysia when rockets were falling on Israel?

Where was the outrage when the Palestinians were committing fraticide in Gaza between Fatah and Hamas?

As for the Palestinians, I have nothing but my upmost respect for them. I've visted the Holy Land and the West Bank. They've put up with the Israelis and other Arabs for 60 years.

In many cases they feel more contempt against other Arabs and Muslims than Israel. They are patronized by other Arab countries, used as political fodder in neighboring countries, and they are treated like crap in places such as Lebanon and Iraq where they live in slums prohibited access to education or jobs.

And now they are being patronized by Malaysia on the premise of Muslim unity.

Ironically, the lucky Palestinians are the one's that stayed in Israel. Quite honestly, even though there are issues, thier lives are 100 times better than thier cousins in Lebanon.

Many Palestinians had expressed to me, they prefer an Israeli Hell, than a Palestinian Paradise.

"As everybody else, we are deeply touched by the human side of the situation in the Middle East," Kadri Taib, Coca-Cola Malaysia public affairs and communications director, said in a statement.
"Given the local nature of our business, we believe that calls for boycotts of our products are not the appropriate way to further any causes, as they primarily hurt the local economy, local businesses and local citizens," the company said.
It added that the beverage company employs some 1,700 Malaysians, 60% of whom are Malay Muslims.

all of them use their revenues for Israel armament programs...

Next time I buy a plasma TV or some other piece of electronics that costs thousands of dollars, I'll make sure to check that its not made in Malaysia. And since a lot of my friends ask me for technical advise, I'll make sure they don't get anything as well.

US is the largest importer of malasian goods, lets hope their boycott becomes public news in the US, well see then who wins.

[ggk]

its not about economic guys.... its just political message... a boycot is a political message, its not a strong one or even a viable one, but it is much stronger than shouting or burning flag. Its just a message that we dont agree with Israel action against Palestinian. (dont discuss this here though, off topic). Thats about it.

[Kopassus]

America will not be hurt by this. It's Malaysia that's going to feel it.
It will not be Malaysia only. In most Muslim countries people are starting to boycot (are have doing this for many years). If only 10% of the inhabitants from all this countries boycotting US products, the companies will surely feel this.

[ColinP]

Who cares? Starbucks isn't real coffee and is over-priced.


Around 8RM a coffee, which is a far better way to get people not to buy your coffee than a boycott. Not all Malays are abiding by this from the look here in KL.

Guess growing up as a minority in a country like Malaysia I can say me and my people know how it feels like to grow up under an oppressive, racist, sexist Muslim government with crazy draconian laws. Singapore was lucky they got kick out of the federation early, while the Malays always had an eye on my country as a valuable commodity for the Malays to make lots of money.

funny that your prayers are for the IDF, but thats your own choise.

and regarding that malaysia have no right to protest israel action just because we doesnt recognise Israel, you probably have a short memory. we have been boycotting South africa previously and at that time we also didnt recognise South africa. i wonder why didnt you raised that up...oh...so thats mean your thought doesnt make any sense.

Why? well why not...in sabah alone there are more church in every district than in the whole east malaysia. yeah the christian activities there so intense and active that the number of native who are converting to christianity so large and stagering, it makes you wonder if there is any of the native tribe that still practice animisme.

It is not about "malaynization" or islamization or etc, its about the manner in which it is being done and the motives behind it.

Read: http://charleshector.blogspot.com/2008/10/sabah-population-increases-by-285.html


Sabah population increases by 285%, whilst Malaysia's population increases by only 113%

Coca Cola is sold in many non Muslim countries too. This is going to hurt the local Malays who work for Coca Cola. The goal is to hurt the US economy correct? Basically anything America. Good Luck. Most people I know don't even know some Malays are boycotting American goods.

[sisqo]

We barred Malaysians from going to South Africa like so many other countries including alot of EU countries back in those times were because of the AIDS epidemic not because of the choice of the South Africans' religion. Once again I'm not as stupid as you would like to make me sound. Blessing to the IDF because they are defending they country from years of terrorist attacks (missles from Hamas) and not the Palestenian civilian population in general.

And regarding the situation in East Malaysia, don't think you really have a right to claim to klnow the truth or what not unless you are from Sabah or Sarawak and you are there first hand to see how mess up it is. Know alot of people who is involve in this so call "politics", its very corrupted trust me. And regarding the local government being ****, its only because the federal government wants the local government to be **** so its eaier to control and manipulate by the Malays. We have alot of good leaders and politicians who fight for the rights of our people, but alas the ISA that the federal government use is much stronger. Most of the east malaysian political positions even local ones are appointed by our dear great leader(Federal) so really whose fault is it?

Once again off topic but really.....people of Malaya should really realized what they own government is doing.

P.S. My prayers are to the IDF and also to innocent victims on both side of the conflict. Not just the IDF itself.

You are right on this one. Since Israel doesn't even exist on the map of many Muslim countries, bringing the matter up to UN is totally ridiculous and contradicting from their own stance.

I'm wondering, are you also going to boycott Indian fruit products like mangos and Pakistani products like cotton and medical supplies?

since India just got hit with a Pakistani terror attack and Pakistanis are still fighting over Kashmir.

Its hard to say anything regarding Pakistan, a country where the ISI(their intelligence agency) if I'm not mistaken has a history of training militias and terror group to fight the Indians in Kashmir. (Correct me if there's anything wrong with me statement) I don't rely on main news feed for my news so I've read numerous other sources on the internet(yes it can either be full of useless facts and lies and it also contains alot of truth), well all I can say is in the world of covert warfare and what not. Its really hard to say that their wasn't trained directly by the Pakistani Government, maybe not the civilian government of Pakistan but certainly other elements within the Pakistani Government. Just my 2 cents on that. :)

Regarding the South African/ Malay passport thing. That's what the Malaysian immigration lady told me when I first ask her about it, cos back in those times them passports still have the South Africa name on it.(Real reason was not AIDS but South Africa's government racial policies at the time, which some Laws in Malaysia is very smililar.) So sorry I pass on some kind of silly information, I'm from Malaysia what do you expect GGK. I can only receive news from Malaysian government sources lol especially in a time when the Internet was still young. Don't mean to flame bait or start anything immature, if I'm off topic again I'm sorry but just want to clear things up with you(GGK) and make sure no one takes it too personally.

[ColinP]

israeli is generally jew and i bet most muslim in israel already left israel for better place

and most of the palestinian killed by israeli soldier are muslim,this alone already rage muslims worldwide

and i bet most israeli muslim already left israel
(i don't know why muslim would consider to stay there,after seeing their brother suffered in palestin)

until palestin is free and all israeli withdraw from palestin,we won't establish any official contact with israel

(reminds me of the time chelsea are comming to malaysia for a friendly match with malaysian team,all are invited,except avram grant,ex chelsea coach)

Actually quite a few Israeli Arabs live in Israel and they live much better than Pals in Gaza. They live there because they have more rights and freedoms there then in Muslim countries. Why do you think there are 6 million Muslims in the US? Because they are free to act, think and believe what they choose. "Muslim Brotherhood" is overated, 1.2 million Muslims died killing each other in the Iran-Iraq war, Muslims are busy killing other Muslims everyday around the world. Also I note staying here in KL that Malays consider themselves quite above their "Muslim brothers" from Bangladash or Indonesia. The "brotherhood" concept is way to keep Muslims from thinking for themselves and being able to voice an individual opinion on issues.

Also considering neither Fatah or Hamas are willing to allow Israel to exist (see their charters) exactly what can they give up that would enough to sate the "Muslim rage"?

To bad they don't use that rage to fix their own governments, infastructure, court systems, legal codes, etc, etc. Israel is critical to the survival of the current Muslim regimes, it serves as a useful distraction to focus peoples anger from domestic issues. Sheesh your own government doesn't even trust you enough to allow you to demonstrate.

Also since the Israeli's invented a irrigation system that uses minamal water, that is in use in Afghanistan, should the farmers there let their crops die to support your boycott?

[Mr Gently Benevolent]

Buy Malaysian campaign kicks off Jan 16 (updated)




http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/2569/buatanmalaysia01bz7.gif



By NG CHENG YEE



PUTRAJAYA: A Buy Malaysian goods campaign will be launched on Jan 16 by the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry to boost domestic economic growth.

Its minister Datuk Shahrir Samad said it would be hard for local producers to rely on export markets with the global economic meltdown and this campaign would help them continue growing.

“The main concern for the Ministry is no longer inflation but how to ensure the economic growth of local businesses,” he said at the New Year gathering at his ministry here on Tuesday.

He said Malaysia could not be escape the economic crisis that the developed world was suffering.

“We never expected that a country like Iceland would resort to the IMF (International Monetary Fund) for help, and if Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc can go bust, we will definitely feel the heat too,” he said.

Therefore, he said, in order to help Malaysian-made products continue to survive in the business world, the nationwide campaign would encourage people to buy such goods.

“We may have overlooked some local products in the past, but we do produce goods of high quality,” he said.

On whether it means that the quantity of imported products would be reduced following the launch of the campaign, Shahrir said there was no plan to lower imports.

When asked if there will be another fuel price cut this month, he said: “There hasn’t been any big difference in the world crude oil price, which stood at US$41 per barrel at the end of December, but we will continue to monitor the price every two weeks.”

'Buy Malaysian' campaign to spur growth




PUTRAJAYA: The economic focus this year will be on domestic growth and the national economy, said Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad.



"Last year, we faced a food crisis. The prices of rice, flour and other goods were high and we needed to shell out a lot on subsidies to keep inflation in check

"But, now, the prices of raw materials have come down so we may not have to spend as much on subsidies. Now we have to work on increasing domestic demand and spurring growth from within."

His ministry will be spearheading the efforts, including a nationwide campaign to buy local goods to be launched in the middle of the month.

Shahrir said yesterday that the campaign was to raise awareness of made-in-Malaysia goods.
Asked if discounts would be offered during the campaign, he said marketers would be up in arms, saying that lowering the price would be "cheapening the brand".

Shahrir said the ministry would get manufacturers to come up with "value brands", brands that are cheaper but without marketing value.

Asked whether this campaign would be more effective than the campaigns organised by the ministry in the past, he said: "Well, we will just have to work harder now."

He also said there were no plans to adjust fuel prices since there was not much movement in crude oil prices.

The last reduction of the fuel price was in the middle of last month, when the price at the pump came down by 10 sen to RM1.80 (RON97).

The crude oil price was then US$47 (RM165) a barrel.

Late last month, the price of crude tumbled to US$36 but bounced back to US$49 due to the Gaza offensive.

"We will keep tabs on the fuel price, but there may be a chance it will go back up."

That's the problem when you are a one trick pony, the oil rich ME countries for the most part did not invest in themselves and build up alternatives, Dubai has started to and will likely fare better than the others. As far as I am concerned the only 2 successful "Islamic" countries are Malaysia and Turkey, both built themselves up through hard work and mostly sound economic polices, not to mention a somewhat more liberal view.

It means that Israel will no longer be dependent on gas from Egypt at all and will have enough for export/storage.

BOYCOTT


By Dr. Mahathir Mohamad on January 15, 2009 6:10 PM



1. I would like to have the Malaysian Armed Forces attack the United States and Israel.

2. But I don't think the Government and the MAF would agree with me.

3. So what do we do?

4. We could blockade the United States and deny it food and medicine.

5. The blockade would have to go on for a hundred years. A lot of innocent people would die. But as Madeleine Albright said when asked whether killing 500,000 Iraqi babies was worth it, she said it was difficult but it was worth it. So Malaysians should not mind killing a few million Americans including babies because although it will be difficult it would be worth it.

6. But I suspect we cannot blockade either.

7. So what do we do? Let the bully do what it likes? But the bully is killing lots of innocent people together with small children and babies.

8. But on the other hand we need to drink Coca-Cola, use the Internet, fly Boeing jets, see Rambo movies etc etc. Can we sacrifice all these simply because babies are being decapitated by Israeli soldiers using highly sophisticated and costly weapons donated by the kind Americans? Of course we cannot.

9. What we can do is totally worthless. We can boycott US products.

10. But can we? Well not completely. Maybe partially. Like not drinking Coca-Cola, or not seeing the latest blockbuster.

11. It is not going to stop the United States from remaining the most powerful nation and continuing to kill people directly or indirectly.

12. But if 10 per cent of the people in the world who drink Coca-Cola stop drinking it there would be some impact. If Malaysians drink, say 50 per cent less Coca-Cola (because their lives depend on it) there would be some impact also. If nothing else it will demonstrate our displeasure with the Americans.

13. But what about the Malaysians working in factories producing coke? I don't believe they produce only Coca-Cola. They produce other drinks as well. If people switch from Coca-Cola to another drink produced by the same company, then the company will have to produce more of this alternative drink and there would be no need to close down and sack the workers.

14. The idea is to do what we can to show displeasure at what the US is doing. We will not bring the US economy crashing down. It will continue to prosper. But the US and Americans must know how much the world dislike or even hate them.

15. Presently the President of the United States claims "the world respects America for its compassion".

16. I am appending below an article by Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan Administration.

17. Please read it carefully since you may think as a Muslim I am biased against the United States and Israel.

18. I will be putting on my blog other articles by other people and you can judge for yourselves.



By Hanan on January 24, 2009 12:53 AM

Dr. Mahathir,

Very well established a logicalbasis leaning on an ex Reagan administration that is having microphones andcameras in the Bush administration, Mr. Paul Craig Roberts. You are alwayscollecting the facts not from the first source just from the second hand washedcloth. Of course an anti Jew will look on anti Jew information. You may referto Al Qaeda humanitarian organization for more information, they have plenty ofit.

You are saying:

"1. I would like to have the Malaysian Armed Forces attack the UnitedStates and Israel."
Oh, great hero. You had the chanceto do it while you were the PM in service. Why didn't you tried out the strengthof the Malaysian army and its skills? You had a good chance to become theMuslim hero committing Jihad on the apes and monkeys. To become the Salah edDin of the modern times. How could you miss that opportunity to demolish both,America and Israel and leaving Iran to do it solely? Oh great rhetoric, do youknow how a war looks like?
You care about the babies of Iraq,Palestinians, etc... How lucky we are you don't need to care about the Jewishchildren suffering daily rockets from Hamas who is a Muslim charityorganization. Oh, their 8 years of rockets in a quantity of thousands were fullof candies ammunition that was spreading sweets to the children of Sederot andthe Negev.
Since Jews are controlling everyoneby proxy, I'm not sure you, Dr. Mahathir are not controlled by them as well.You'll say that you are not controlled, but I can assure you that I'mcontrolling you. Can you deny it? Even Malaysia is manipulated by Jews, that'swhy they are not attacking the US and Israel. You should check very well among your government ministers and officials and find the Trojan horses there.
You hate Israel not because of theIsraeli-Palestinian conflict, but you hate only because the hatred of Muslimsagainst Jews, the apes and swine. Your hate is not political, but religious.You are just sinking into the modern era darkness.
You said once in one of yourspeeches that Muslims should use their brains to get rid of 13 Million Jews dominance among 1.3 billion Muslims. Are you a role model? Do you have thewisdom to do it? Do you have the power to do it? Do you know why your plan isnot accomplished? It is because it is not true, not logical, unjustified, notbecause the Jew are controlling the world by proxy. History is stronger thanany empire, leader or people. The Jews survived more complicated events thenyou are planning, so don't be hoping too much, we survive your approach aswell.

Shalom from Hanan, a Jew, Israel.



By Dr. Mahathir Mohamad on January 27, 2009 5:40 PM

(On Jan 24, 2009, Hanan commented onBoycott - this is my reply)


Dear Hanan,

1. I agree entirely with you that building a great nation doesn't only takebrains, but as you said it sure does help.

2. However brains alone without a heart (feelings) can produce a monster.

3. Israel is undoubtedly a great nation, becoming great through the brains andthe numerous achievements you have listed. Yes I have used Israeli originatedproducts like Microsoft Windows and Pentium chips (made in Malaysia) by Intel,an American company.

4. In fact I owe my life ultimately to Israel because theremust be something invented by Israelis in the numerous instruments used inheart surgery. However most of the products used were invented and produced byJapanese.

5. I am amazed at the number of Nobel Laureates Israel has produced. I admit wehave not produced even one.

6. But when the brain is without a heart it does not care for the miseryresulting from the products of the brain.

7. The atom bombs which killed 100,000 men, women, children and babies are theproduct of Israeli (Jewish) brain. Most of the diabolical weapons now beingused to kill millions of people are also the creation of Israelis on ZionistJews. The depleted uranium and phosphorous shells being used in Gaza are alsothe product of Israeli brains.

8. The current financial crisis which is destroying the economies of the U.S.Britain and in fact all the countries of the world is due to manipulations ofbanks, financial institutions and the monetary system by Jewish supporters ofIsrael.

9. The negation of the freedom of speech when it comes to the alleged killingsof Jews in World War II are also inspired by Zionist Jews.

10. But worse of all is the seizure of Palestinian land to create the state ofIsrael. Not content with the area given to the Jews by the United Nations youhave seized more Palestinian land, built settlements on many parts ofPalestine, disallowed the use of roads built on Palestinian land to thePalestinians, erected your own check points at the borders of Palestine withJordan and built your version of the Berlin Wall through Palestinian villageson land that is not part of Israel.

11. Before the creation of Israel, the Jews and Arabs in Palestine lived inpeace. Historically Jews had always sought refuge in Muslim countries when theEuropeans conducted pogroms against them. This only stopped after the U.S.offered asylum.

12. All the terrorism that we see today, whether state initiated or byirregulars, started after the U.S. backed Israel against Arab attempts toregain their land through conventional wars. Because they were outclassed interms of weapons by the U.S, / Israel, alliance, then only did the Arabs resortto what is called terrorism. The Israeli response have always been with greaterterrorism as is seen in Gaza.

13. I have asked an American what he would do if Texas was given to the Jews tocreate the state of Israel. He did not answer. But I believe he would fight toget back Texas, employing all the weapons at its disposal.

14. Yet had the United States been willing to create the nation of Israel inthe lands under U.S. control or in the U.S. itself, there would be no terrorismin Palestine or in the Middle East. There would be no terrorism in Americaeither because Israel would be wiped out by the U.S. forces. The world wouldremain peaceful.

15. The brutality committed by your forces in Gaza is out of all proportion tothe puny rocket attacks by Hamas. That attack was the result of Israel and theU.S. failing to accept the results of a properly conducted election.

16. Hamas could only establish their Government in Gaza. But you blockadedGaza, denying them food, medicine, power, fuel etc. If you had not done that Idoubt that Hamas would fire rockets at you.

17. Malaysia is well aware that total boycott of Israel is not possible. We arein fact boycotting American products which is an even more impossible task. Wewould not be able to bring America or Israel down.

18. But what we aim to do is to demonstrate the disgust and the anger that wefeel over the inhumanity of the brainy but primitive peoples of Israel andAmerica.

19. You can collect Nobel prizes and other prizes but the world will look downupon you as very primitive people who robbed land through terror against perfidiousBritish and subsequently used your control over the world's greatest militarypower to oppress the people whom you had robbed.

20. You have nothing to be proud of, unless of course you take pride in beingheartless, in being primitive brutes.

21. The only mitigating factor is the presence among Israelis of a small numberwho are ashamed of what you have done to the people of Gaza.

IIRC radical muslims see a hidden anti-muslim message in the CocaCola symbol.

They interpret it "No Mohammed, no Mekka"

Can someone explain why individual products/brands would be boycotted but not the parent company? Or is the whole thing not supposed to make any sense:roll:

[Moledet]

HangPC2, I think you should stop, not because I care but because what you do is a violation of the US law (boycotts aren't allowed) and this forum is based in the US. It's as if someone infringe copyright laws on this site.

P.S. I am not certain we have Starbucks here, Aroma is much better and Starbucks kinda went bankrupt here.

[ColinP]

Well if Malaysia really wanted to screw the west, they could cut off the supply of latex which accounts for 80% of the worlds supply. Sure it would hurt, ut just think of the message it would send, aren't those poor Pal kid's worth it?

Now malaysia bans Yoga!!

hey come on guys, what did india do to you?

Malaysia bans Muslims from practicing yoga

Malaysia's top Islamic body has banned Muslims from practicing yoga, claiming elements of Hinduism in the ancient Indian exercise could corrupt them.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/malaysia/3509070/Malaysia-bans-Muslims-from-practicing-yoga.html

[PeterG]

I'm boycotting all muslim businesses. Including the pizzeria down the street, because the taliban kill schoolgirls. I think the pizzaguy down the street must bear the responsibility for this.

Maybe i should blow up his house as well. I think God would approve.

not all type yoga.... the issue came allight because some yoga classes also teach some sort of mantra which need to be practice with the exercise. That pissed the imam off. Because he argue the Muslim 5 time a day prayer is a form of exercise too (for physical and internal).

I respect Dr Mahathir with what he has done with Malaysia before but he's ideas are just getting crazier and crazier everyday. This boycott thing is really only going to hurt us even more. I don't boycott, but Starbucks coffee sucks and too expensive for a student like me. :) Oh ya, I don't drink coke, hate the taste.

I have to add this:

PAS Youth: Boycott Rihanna concert Jan 20, 09 12:36pm PAS Youth today called for the boycott of Barbadian singer Rihanna’s upcoming concert to protest the suffering of the Palestinian people. Rihanna’s concert is to be held on Feb 13, 2009.
http://media1.malaysiakini.com/80/d75ad7edf846e6d18f9040e1f429dbea.jpgFederal Territory PAS Youth chief, Kamaruzaman Mohamed, said that the concert “does not match with the local culture” and having Rihanna in Malaysia is a “disgrace to Asian culture”.
In a statement today, Kamaruzaman said that Israel’s ally, the United States, is funded by its public and this includes Rihanna who is currently living in California.
It can be considered as supporting Israel’s military offensive in the Gaza, he added.

“It doesn’t matter if Rihanna is involved in the issue, but to us (PAS), she is an agent of polluting young peoples’ minds around the world through her songs.”

Now for the lolage. So wtf that has to do with Israel/Palestin?

Lol, but its probably because her music sucks

I think all muslim asylum seekers and emigrants should stop going to western nations, particularly Norway, in protest against the war in gaza. THAT would give us a lesson. Please! Do it for the palestinian children!

I believe GGK doesn't boycott, he did say something like that in this thread. It's just that the stuff that was boycotted wasn't the stuff he would normally buy.
