Who Loses With The Boycott Of KFC, McDonald And Starbucks? Israel And 'Merika?


If it is true a number of KFC outlets have closed temporally, (euphemism for closing shop really?) advocates of the boycott of the fast food outlets in the name of hurting Israel and 'Merika must be laughing in jubilation.

But who is really hurting whom, really?

If more of the fast food chains should eventually close down because of the boycott, let's see if there is real joy for advocates of the boycott.

I guess they don't care. 

They will feel pride in themselves for having brought so-called grief to the fast food chains in defence of their stand. Well and good for them.

Even if that means many will lose their jobs working in the fast food outlets and the people who work in the supply chain intertwined with them.

The economy may take a hit but what does it matter?

"Well, well, well..." as the bishop is fond of expostulating "we have done our part what!"

"The rest is academic loh!"

"Ai ya ya!! "

"What's a little inconvenience for a larger cause?"

Well, well, well...maybe, maybe.

Maybe not. 

Maybe not!!

Being smarter may in fact be better? 

Instead of letting ourselves overwhelmed without thinking well ahead.

For, for all we know, 'Merika is laughing; Israel is still Israel.

No meh?

Kluang was a sleepy hollow, but is fast becoming a bustling town. You can't miss the bust-shaped gunung Lambak lording over the place and the town is well known for its tv brand coffee powder

Kluang RailCoffee
The Kluang railway station coffee shop, now re-branded Kluang RailCoffee, is well known for its cuppa of coffee and the charcaol grilled piping hot buns oozing with butter and kaya...It used to attract standing-room only crowds. It still does, but the last time I was there it wasn't a good experience for me. The famous coffee had somewhat lost its oomph and even the buns...The shop has a long and noted history being first opened for business in 1938 and the place is now run by the 3rd generation LIm family. I hope the next time I return, the coffee would regain its oomph. Click to read more...
