KFC Malaysia has suspended operations of numerous outlets, citing challenging economic conditions. The closures came amid reports of boycotts of the business over its perceived links to Israel, with local media reporting over 100 outlets had closed. Employees from affected stores were offered relocation to stores with higher customer engagement. Other American brands have been targeted in Malaysia over US support of Israel’s war on Gaza.

    Boycott has been happening for several years already due to the quality of food and services getting worse. Price also increased terribly. And yes, the recent Gaza incident made it much worse.

    Sure thing but it has increased significantly with the genocide in Palestine so it this case they temporarily closed it because of that and not because of food/service getting worse.

    one of the reasons is the declining of quality that doesn't match with the current price. also due to the current economy situation, people are more selective on what they want to eat while maintaining their budget to sustain until the next paycheck. Then, kfc need to aware that they are many competitors nowadays that offer better fried chickens with better quality and prices.

    As a Malaysian, this boycott isn't solely about Palestine conflict but also over the declining quality of KFC Malaysia's product. We're unsatisfied with the "quail-size" chicken, expensive price, and low effort at making their food (I mean, it is typical for a fast food restaurant but boy KFC managed to make it even worse). It's just sad that our KFC has turned into the American KFC.

    The boycott in Malaysia happened for a long time way before the Palestinian war with israel. Its becahse of KFC scamming and deceiving customers. Especially rhe increase in price and the portions of chicken are extremely small, its like eating a thin layer of meat with giant bones. It took me 4 bites only to finish a chicken breast. The services there are terrible too. KFC being boycott by all races in Malaysia as everyone shared similar experiences. While McDonald's suffered only the Muslim side of Boycott, they serve decent portions of food and having quite a lot of offers. I still go McDonald's to eat occasionally, its nice when many customers are gone and the offers kept flowing in. Normally there are many who pretended to boycott but secretly eats McDonald's.

    Many of my friends who currently live there have also agreed that the quality at KFC has been decreasing at a terrible level, with prices also hiking up in such a way that other fast-food chains that also serve fried chicken has taken over in terms of competition. From my experiences of having ate at KFC there a few years ago, the size of the chicken i've gotten served was also much smaller than what i've gotten from McDonalds and also another chain called Texas Chicken. With those reasons, plus the obvious boycotting happening, i'm honestly not surprised that this happened
