Which for me begs the question: operating in a country where majority is openly against Israel, what is holding MM back from releasing such statement?", "From what I read, McD Msia already keluarkan few statements explaining franchise system, not related to Israel, and also donated rm1 mil to Palestine.. which mostly kena ignored lol kesian. Not sure whats stopping them from condemning Israel ourtight. Maybe their PR department got fed up while halfway writing condemnation and lost their temper. I think court case is not the correct path to take tho.. they should just keep quiet and wait it out.\nBut I can see why McD is confident to sue BDS for defamation. The current boikot logic is M Msia pay royalty to its owner M SaudiArabia, who in turn pay to M USA, then M USA give that money to M Israel, and M Israel use that money to donate meals to Israeli Army. Thats very far fetched.. because franchise system just doesnt work that way. Like, when M Malaysia give free meals to nurses and firemen, are we giving M USA the credit for that?\nRegardless, we should boikot McD for harga Yahudi, not for actual Yahudi. Prosperity set meal is almost rm20 and the burger so small now, wtfffff", "If the money ends up going to israel because of a chain bigger than the malaysian branch, its not the fault of malaysiaj branch, because as far as they can control, the money went to a guy in saudi arabia.\nThat way of assigning guilt is dumb as shit, it would mean every person is guilty because the money ypu gave someone eventually might pass hands with illegal activity outside of your control\n\"woi amirul dont buy from that drink store who knows where your 5 ringgit air bandung money will go to eventually\"", "they should just keep quiet and wait it out.\nThey should've. Like many pointed out, usually Malaysians would come back after a while and I think MM did wait, but this time, Israel seems to be set on their vendetta and MM is obviously bleeding and couldn't wait no more.\nFrom what I read, McD Msia already keluarkan few statements explaining franchise system, not related to Israel,\nI was one of those who bought that explanation. I understood that it's beyond their control to prevent what M Israel did. Of course. I didn't even boycott them.\nHowever, this lawsuit made me revisit the whole thing again - that was when I saw what BDS asked MM to do. Condemn Israel. What's stopping MM? this is 100% within their control, right? Maybe it's not? I've started boycotting them ever since.\nbecause franchise system just doesnt work that way.\nNot objecting you, but here's how it works for those who want to know:\nMcDonald's franchise model is pretty slick. Here's the scoop: someone who wants to open a McDonald's franchise, like in Malaysia, has to pay an initial fee to McDonald's Corporation (the big guys in the U.S.). This fee gives them the license to run a McDonald's restaurant.\nBut it doesn't stop there. The franchisee (the person running the local McDonald's) also pays regular fees, which usually include a percentage of their sales. This is where McDonald's HQ makes a lot of its dough. So, yeah, McDonald's Malaysia (like Gerbang Alaf Restaurants Sdn Bhd) would be paying these ongoing fees to McDonald's Corporation in the U.S. This way, they get to use the McDonald's brand, its business model, and all the secret recipes!\nEven though Gerbang Alaf Restaurants Sdn Bhd (owned by Saudi Arabia's Reza Group) operates McDonald's Malaysia, they still have to play by the rules of McDonald's Corporation in the USA. This includes paying for licensing and advertising.\nIn the franchise model, the franchisee (like Gerbang Alaf in this case) pays a franchise fee and ongoing royalties, which typically include a percentage of sales, to the franchisor (McDonald's Corporation). These payments cover the rights to use the McDonald's brand, operating system, and ongoing support, including advertising. This is a standard practice in franchising, not just for McDonald's, but for most international franchise brands.", "Personally i think the fault lies in M israel. No company, especially a franchisee, should shows support or condemn to anything non food related issue, especially in geopolitical issue. Food store is food store. Donate to support humanitary effort, sure, as its general humanitary aid. But condemning israel/ show undying support to hamas shouldn't even be considered.\nYes US supports israel. But did M US shown any support to it? Blaming them just because M paid tax to US is stupid and not using common sense. M US cannot control where the tax money is allocated.", "Believe it or not, I agree with you - companies shouldn't be held responsible for showing political stances.\nUnfortunately, some companies do make clear political stances like Nike with Kaepernick, Ben and Jerry's, and many companies with LBTQ+ rights. We saw the Premier League showing support for Ukraine.\nPublic saw all the above and they can no longer expect companies to be neutral now, can they?", "Yup. Thats why we can go against companies that show said stance publicly and visibly.\nBut not mcd m. They very clearly stated that they are pro palestinian, even donated directly to humanitary fund. BDS and boycotters WANT them to do more, and declare their allegiance. That is what I cannot agree with. They are forcing the company to choose a side. If not, boycott. I mean, even mcd franchisor refuses to butt into the conflict, so far only mcd israel and mcd malaysia made clear statement, and both are supporting different sides. Semua kena pula.\nIn short, I can agree with boycotters targeting companies that made their stance, but not if they want to force them to make a stance.", "If McDonald's Malaysia stated they're pro Palestinians, haven't they chosen a side already? Why stop at not condemning Israel? This is what's suspicious about them - are they independent like they claimed or not?", "There you go.. Forcing a company to choose a side. Tak kira lah mereka nak support ke tak nak support kan? Wasn't that what you claimed just 1 comment ago? Dia nak choose ke tak nak choose ke penting ke?

What about all companies, or at least most companies. Some people get struck by lightning and survive too.\nAnd then you use that to justify your argument about non-neutrality corporates. Perhaps to justify the McD example above, I dunno I'm trying to not put words in your mouth since you didn't explicitly say it.\nBut at this point you've got several disjointed branches of logic that you need to fix first before the discussion can proceed further.", "I don't think I was.\nI'm being pretty clear. Some companies did make political stances. This has changed public's perception - the public is no longer seeing companies as politically neutral entities anymore.\nI don't see any strawmanning there. You said \"neutral business\". I addressed that directly - I said, in the eye of the public, there's no such thing as \"neutral business\" anymore, thanks to companies like Nike and Ben and Jerry's who have shaped public's perceptions with their political stances.", "I mean some means minority. They're not representative of the majority. If that's your argument, that's kinda strawmanning. I get where you're coming from but if we can't get past this part, I have to disagree.

If Kedai Tok Mat became political, nobody would care. My point is majority/minority doesn't play a role in public's perception.\nI wished you didn't say I was strawmanning because I take issue with that as it's not true. Strawmanning is if I attacked a point that you didn't make. But you did make a point about McDonald's being neutral:\nYou do realize no neutral business will voluntarily do something like No. 2 right.\nI responded directly to your point saying that from public's POV (not my POV), companies that they noticed, like Nike, indeed have political stances and not neutral.

One step higher will be Regional or APAC roles where they would easily be earning USD10,000 to USD15,000 with lots of sweet perks.\nIn terms of industries, right now there\u2019s a boom to rush over to SEA as we are the next big middle + upper class. A lot of US and Europeans agencies moving over here to expand. Ad, marketing, consulting, data management, architecture.\nThen for commerce, I keep seeing high paying jobs in the e-commerce space. Alibaba group, TikTok and Temu + other players have been fighting it out for the SEA market to expect to see lots of hires on that front.\nFintech is booming. This is probably the next industry. Digital banks, payment solutions, cashless, B2B fintech provider. Wait till Singapore builds the framework by this year for the region and anyone working in that line will be minting cash.\nThere\u2019s also an emergence of Web3.0 and blockchain X any industry in Malaysia and in the region. Web3.0 for marketing, event management, insurance, banks, the list can go on and on.\nFood security, agritech will be the most lucrative industry the next 20 years. Food security has now met AI, its new best friend. Expect to see a revolution in that field. I recently interviewed for a job to work remotely in that line, the starting pay is RM25,000 with bonuses and equity and lots of perks.\nI know full-stack developers who are working remotely and earning more than RM30,000 per month.

Think \"flying cars by the year 2000 that will revolutionize holidays\" sort of news.\nLong story short, take any undue optimism with a massive grain of salt. The market has a way of never overpaying, never overextending and always over-promising. Especially with the cost-to-borrow being what it is worldwide, we're closer to a recession than to a boom, both in China and in the US.\nThat doesn't mean what is promised won't happen: it simply means it won't be the orgy of money for all-qualified party.

You aren't going to find loads of RM20,000 jobs in print for example.\nAds will boom, big data will boom\nWell, I started a digital media company about 12 years back and people who were bitching, kicking and screaming about how ads and marketing won't boom in South East Asia were definitely wrong about that. They were same boomers who were saying digital and social media won't kill print / traditional ads. 4G + social media + low cost connectivity + retail capitalism, a perfect storm.\nrecruitment will boom\nWell, whether you like it or not, recruitment is booming in this region. Over the past 2 years, there has been about 15% annual increase in hiring in this region by global MNCs or external funded start-ups (data came from TH, MY, VN, PH). There's more remote work paying is USD or AUS than ever before at our doorsteps. Recruitment platforms are more active than ever before.\nfood security\nI've been consulting with an agriculture + pharma company in Australia for the past 3 years. It's a big, big challenge in APAC, SEA especially. Anyone with half a brain can tell you that Agritech will be crucial for the survival of this earth. The amount of funding - private and public - pouring into that industry has been immense over the past 5 years.\nwe're closer to a recession than to a boom\nI don't disagree, we are closer to a recession but then I've a believer that there are pockets of opportunities in any recession. A great example is during covid, I got hired by a Medical Cannabis firm and in 2 years, the industry grew 300% because people were just smoking up at home, giving up alcohol and all other vices, dealing with their mental health. Now, sure, some firms that over-extended are suffering but the industry found the catalyst and now its healthier than ever.\nAs usual, a few on top will take the lions share and the rest will fight for middle class crumbs.\nSure, that's life.

Obviously majority of Malaysians are Muslims, some pious, some not but Muslims but how legit is tabligh?\nFor some context, I've encountered NUMEROUS of tabligh goers that physically look pious (at this age, appearance is just for show) but they take pride in leaving their wives and children in the name of preaching. One man I met around Sri Petaling bragged by saying \"Saya memang tinggalkan anak isteri dekat rumah sebab nak berdakwah 40 hari\" and without nafkah in hopes that God can help them at home. Another tabligh man I met does the same thing and does not want to divorce the wife because the doesn't want to appear as the \"bad guy\" and proceeds to marry another woman without the knowledge of the first wife via nikah syndicate.\nBear in mind that I am not generalising tabligh goers but most of them that I've personally met portrays the same behaviour and attitude that does not reflect the true representation of Islam because if they really are a man of Islam then why not take care of wajib matters first?\nI am really curious of this.", "comments": [["Dr Zulkifli (previous WP mufti) wrote about it once. To join tabligh and do dakwah itself is not wrong but Islam actually preaches that you do everything in moderation. Doing something like leaving your family to fend for themselves for a long period of time without providing necessary support and saying you are doing it in the name of Islam is a big no no.\nDoesn't even just mean financial support. Imagine if the wife has small kids/newborn and has to deal with it all on her own with no helper etc? That's just selfish and a huge mental burden on the family.\nOn the other hand, if you have ensured that all the needs of your family are cared for when you are gone, then there are no issues. Personally I know of a number of Muslim men who join these tabligh and do it the proper way.", "Agreed. One ustaz have said that if you know or study about the afterlife, you wont abandon duniawi or the now life. Also, almost all tablighs that i have met are rich people lol. They have businesses here and there and live in a bungalow.", "Time ni best nak networking la brader"], ["Hi! Good question!\nI have some experience with the Tabligh folks. I've gone out with them when I was a student, but never went more than three days.\nHere's a recap: 1. I see it as a \"summer\" camp. Back then, smartphones weren't a big deal and had limited capabilities. So, I was able to focus fully on worship. You wake up before Fajr, then you listen to Halaqah sessions, you eat breakfast together, and then you get free time to chill/nap and basically doing those until bed time.\n\"Worship and chill\", and if you're busy with work, this is a really good way to decompress. I enjoyed it, though I knew I would get tired if I went for too long - three days was good. In essence, nothing weird going on there, completely legit, to answer your question.\nMy issue with them is on their main material - the book is called Fadhail A'mal. It's got good stuff but some of the narrations were less than authentic and some were flat out false narrations. This is one of the things that was a bit tough to swallow, but some members maintained that the leader needed to be wary of it and we should still be good. I don't know why they wouldn't just use another book like Riyadh al-Saliheen. To expand my answer, it is still legit, but they need to work on their material and be more careful.\nAbout leaving family at home without provisions, this is seemingly a regional issue. I went to Tabligh in Malaysia and in the US, and they were different by a lot. In Malaysia, we walked from house to house. In the US, we traveled in Lexuses, Beemers and Cadillacs. Those folks were WELL OFF. One of them, I remember was a surgeon (a cardiologist, if memory serves) - I went to his house party once (a legit mansion, btw) - the American Dream in all its glory. My point is, when he took months off work for Tabligh, his family was good to go, his kids were grownups too. They're all set.\nThe Malaysian counterparts need to work on their reasoning when it comes to religion. I think going out 3 days like I did would suffice if they're not that well to do, and family depends on them more tightly. There's no one rule that fits all, though, some may have more support system even if they're not rich. You gotta apply some reasoning with the religion.\n\"Don't you use reason?\" repeats Allah in the Quran.", "Thank you so so much for this, I am rather shallow in this aspect and I got to admit that I am rediscovering Islam at this point (trying to understand it instead of blindly following) which is why I really appreciate your extensive explanation.\nI love how you included your experience abroad too!! I must say that although I am considered lucky to be born into a Muslim family in Malaysia, I do notice that practicing Islam here can be performative, forced even, especially since it's greatly intertwined (or maybe mistaken) as culture. I am currently based in NZ and I do see and feel the difference of how Islam is practiced here and ofc there is a lot the Malaysian Muslim community can learn from.\nMuch love!", "Pleasure! Yes that was in Chicago - we had a massive Muslim community there, a masjid at every corner, even KFC restaurants displayed Halal sign there - Islamophobes's worst nightmare.\nPerformative is actually good for little kids while they are developing. But our understanding of the religion must grow and mature as we do the same. Nuances must be understood, and there's no better way to understand differences than traveling far and out. It's good you're out there, you must mingle with Muslims there.\nI only lived with Malaysians during my 1st year. I moved out and lived with other Muslims after that till graduation. My best friends were Pakistanis, Americans, Saudis, British, Chinese, Indians, Sri Lankans, Moroccans, Libyans, Nigeriens, Nigerians, and they were all awesome with all the differences. It'd shape our minds when we expose ourselves that way. I miss them dearly.", "Sometimes i feel the Malays are taking slightly to the extreme on certain things and sometimes they are rather proud to be Malay rather than a Muslim.\nBut i do noticed that Muslim abroad tends to be more welcoming and friendly, which honestly is the sunnah of our prophet SAW.\ncontinue your journey to explore OP and always remember that whatever the Malaysians culture does, is that we are not perfect but the religion is. So dont judge the religion based on our behaviours. This is the biggest issue at the moment what Malaysia is facing against the non Muslims.\nI was born a muslim myself and i feel the other issue with us Malaysians is that we are born into it and just accept it without reasoning. That\u2019s also why Allah swt ask us to learn tawheed by ourselves.\nAll the best OP!", "Sometimes i feel the Malays are taking slightly to the extreme on certain things and sometimes they are rather proud to be Malay rather than a Muslim.\nTell me about it. One time the tabligh go out of his way to open our gate and search for my dad at the back of our house just to ask if he wants to pray at the mosque.\nMind you, we're at a village where it's common sense not to go pass the gate if they're close. And the tabligh wasn't really an outsider either, an ustaz at the nearest school some more.", "There's no one rule that fits all, though\nI'm pretty sure there's a universal minimum requirement somewhere like not being a total ass and leave your family to provide for themselves. I really hate \"pious\" people who use religion as escape goat for their bad behaviour. And sheepel who blind defend them. People can't criticise the followers or local practice without being accused of insulting islam.", "some may have more support system even if they're not rich.\nLiterally the next clause.", "My brother in law runs a construction business, he has 6 little brothers age from 23-36 working with him. It\u2019s sort of a family business now. 4 of the little brothers join tabligh. Ever so frequently these 4 brothers would work for 3 days sometimes 40 days without early notice, leaving my BIL super short staffed. He couldn\u2019t hire new staffs either because when the brothers returned, they expect the world stopped to wait for them and continue without any repercussions.", "Really good answer.", "thanks, bud!"], ["I wanted to join but they said tabligh.", "Lol"], ["My father was an old gen tabligh. This is what I got from him.\nWhat is Tabligh? Nowadays, we see muslims trying to preach to non muslims about muslims/Islam. Tabligh preaches Islam to muslims, they try invite people to mosque, give a short simple lecture about Ibadat, showing people that you can isolate some time to God from your busy life. They don't force, if you can come, then come, if you cannot come then dont come. If you can go out for 3 days also good, 40 days also good, 1 hour to the mosque also good.\nLeaving family without nafkah, now that is wrong. Like totally wrong. Whatever you do, when you leave your family to do business or dakwah or perang, make sure the fam has enough nafkah until you come back. That is the responsibility of the husband. God did not ask you to leave earthly posessions and just go for akhirat. God ask you to use the earthly posession as a farm of goodness for akhirat.", "Huh curious about this.
