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.

They would "cry" if we do the same to them. What if USA, Europe and other countries who suffer islamic terrorism decided to cancel companies, brands and countries that come from countries who don't condemn islamic terrorist groups, islamic terrorist attacks, islamic supremacist ideas...or don't help other countries to fight it?
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.

Thier downfall is mainly due to thier product quality. They can’t even maintain thier main dish which is the fried chicken. Not to mention the sizes getting smaller while price going up. Might as well just close all branch. Management and staff been pretty unprofessional for decades.
Correction: This started way before October 7th 2023. Palestinians were being murdered and driven out of their homes for a hundred years. Why the F does no one ever mention that?

We did not boycott KFC due to the Israel issue. We reject KFC because the quality declined too badly. They fried chicken sizes is half of other brands fried chicken sizes and it also taste very dry. Another factor is the economy factor, nowadays it's been a tough journey for majority of Malaysian as the cost of living has increased too much, thus most of Malaysian prefer local cheaper option for foods.

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.

KFC is expensive these days. That alone should have affected its sales.
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
no longer goto kfc after they switched to machine ordering, i almost always get chicken breast, cant choose, and source machine always not working.

Random Street food is much cheaper and better.
KFC in Malaysia used to be delicious, but now is so pricey, the food quality and portion are getting low and small
It's not about boycott but it's about quality of nutrition,taste and price.Better support local products.More about asian choices.
Kfc chicken is salty. Texas chicken, mcd fried chicken and Jollibee is so juicy and tasty

Racism, apartheid and genocide lover is it
the closures change nothing, they have golden egg in Singapore, most likely they sustain, meanwhile new branch in cambodia, laos gonna open soon
If I would boycott, it wouldnt be for political reasons, mainly the price increase and smaller quantities

Genocide, ethnic cleansing, and holocaust are only politics. Finally someone smart. People die anyways why would you care if non-whites die.
Proud of Malaysians. Great Work.

Why this channel wrote it as anti-American, but the. Truth is KFC foods tastes bad and too high price ? Comments report by Malay people.
Not just because of Israel.... Kfc chicken quality has drop so much and the price is ridiculous... Local fried chicken way more better and the price is way more low🎉
FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸❤
Dont worry just make our own kfc recipe theres tons of video even shorts youtube about hot to make it
KFC in Malaysia and Singapore is getting very very dated, time to change the Master Franchisee that is losing ideas on how to refresh the brand
Boycott has been happening for several years already due to the quality of food and services getting worse. Price also increased terribly.
not gonna lie. i dont have money to eat kfc

I like your comment, I am an old man no work no income whether boycott or not closed or not I am still the same not because I boycott the reality is that I don't have the money but if my friends around wish to give me a treat in KFC I shall not refuse.
They are paying for the arrogance of MacDonald, specially MacDonald Israel branch. Giving free lunch to IDF and then promoting it on X and instagram, what did they expected ? And the response from MacDonald Main at the time was lackluster, saying only it is on the freedom of each branch.

Used to go Malaysia across the borders for the juicy and fresh chicken but quality has dropped. Service too, it took ages get one’s order.
The quality is lacking as well, havent been buying KFC that often even before the boycott. The chickens were sometimes overcooked, dry and most of the time too small to even compensate the price i’m paying. Not worth at all…indirectly, much healthier lifestyle has taken over too.
Everyone may cheer but the jobs lost for normal folks and college students is just terrible
