Reporting from Kuala Lumpur, KFC has been profoundly affecting by the growing boycott campaign targeting companies seemingly favoring Israel.
As reported by international media outlets, the well-known American fast food brand KFC has made the announcement that it will be temporarily closing more than one hundred of its restaurants in Malaysia. Restaurants are temporarily closing as a result of the economic situation in Malaysia, according to the franchise company of the American food chain in Malaysia.
There are 600 restaurants of the American food chain in Malaysia, of which 108 are being closed. The majority of these restaurants are located in Kelantan, which is the state in Malaysia with the largest Muslim population. This is done to demonstrate solidarity with the Palestinian people. Therefore, there is a motivation in Malaysia and other countries to boycott things that are the production of Israel. And boycott them as well as those that are producing by firms that financially support Israel.
