“Gaza prompts boycott in Malaysia,” read the BBC Online headline. The Malaysian government, given to emotional but useless actions, wants a boycott of American goods because if US support for Israel. “More than 2,000 Muslim restaurants in Malaysia have said they would remove Coca-Cola from their menus from Friday.” It added that “the beverage company employs some 1,700 Malaysians, 60% of whom are Malay Muslims.” It would make good business sense to lay off those employees and shut down production for a while.
Former Malaysian prime minister and a certifiable idiot, Dr Mahathir Mohamad said Monday, “If you stop accepting US currency, the US can't trade and can't make any money, it will become very poor and it will have to stop the production of more and more weapons in order to kill people." But it isn’t the US that is defending itself by retaliating against terrorist rocket attacks. That would be Israel. Perhaps Malaysia should boycott them and leave the US out of it.
A large portion of Malaysia’s revenue comes from US electronic manufacturing in Kuala Lumpur and Penang. These outfits might also benefit by a temporary shutdown during this boycott.
