Kenapa Kita Wajib Boikot Mc D ??

Aqsa Syarif

Atas permintaan ramai sahabat-sahabat maka saya mulakan perkongsian perbincangan dgn McD.
di pihak McD 3 officials dari bhgn human resource, dan Marketing.
di pihak Aqsa Syarif pula ialah pengerusi (Dr Hafidzi Mohd Noor), GM (kamarulzaman Shahrul Anwar), Mike Allen VPM (Viva Palestina Malaysia) dan PR eks Aiman Zin Kandar.

Pengerusi mulakan dgn background kpd pertemuan dan t.k kpd delegasi McD kerana sudi bertandang ke pej Aqsa Syarif

Perbincangan berlaku dalam English kerana sdr Mike lebih fasih berbahasa Inggreis (warga muslim Britain yg sudah menetap di Malaysia di Malaysia)

Mike started the ball rolling dgn meminta penjelasan hubungan McD Malaysia dgn McD Corp.

Rumusannya: McD Malaysia adalah dimiliki oleh Golden Archers Restaurant yg merupakan subsidiary kpd McD Corp. US. McD Malaysia membayar 5% dari turnover (sales) pd McD Corp US. McD Corp adalah policy maker dan juga menggariskan code of conduct. Jika McD Malaysia nak buka outlet baru mereka akan submit application pd McD corp US. Even McD corp akan provide financial assistance utk buka outlet baru.

Point penting - McD Malaysia is linked to McD corp financially and even pay royalties as well as benefited from McD Corp US. jadi argument yg mengatakan McD Malaysia hanya membayar cukai pd kerajaan is misleading.

seterusnya delegasi McD refute dakwaan yg mengatakan CEO McD contibuted to JUF (Jewish United Fund) yg berada at the forefront in aiding Israel. Mereka kata itu CEO 10 tahun dulu. bukan CEO sekarang.

Point penting - Mereka tak nafikan Jack Greenberg (check nama CEO dlm google) contribute to JUF, tapi he did that in his personal capacity?? 

To which Mike shot back macam mana Greenberg contribute on his personal capacity using McD as a source of the funds. Dan saya ada sebut McD terima award from Israeli govt for helping israel's economy. 

Ana juga refute McD top management is no longer related to Israel because one of the board of directors (mungkin CEO yg sekarang-he's black American) dpt prestigious award dari muzuem of holocaust for outstanding contributions to keep the important chapter in the jewish history alive in the minds of the jewish people

Seterusnya tentang senarai boycott dalam Inminds. Kami tegaskan pd mereka. jika inminds say untrue things abt McD kenapa tdk sekalipun inminds kena sue dgn McD. Mike tambah ada kes di UK one person campaigning against McD (isu lain-bukan boikot Israel) McD sue that person in court. 

Jadi sepatutnya Inminds dah lama kena saman-tetapi tdk sekalipun. wal hal sueing and counter sueing is the norm in the west. to this mereka tdk ada jawapan

point seterusnya- mereka kata kenapa boikot McD sebab kita tlg bumiputera. McD sedia pekerjaan 80% melayu/islam. Mereka kata McD tempat mereka cari rezeki-McD is like their home. yg ini saya jawab sasaran boikot bukan pekerja McD. 

We are not against you. there's nothing personal about boycott McD. we are not against your livelihood. we are against McD supporting Israel. and remember that boycott is still relevant regardless of who works at McD. 

It is not like majority of McD workers are melayu muslim than we should not boycott. 

if let say that majority of McD workers are non malay/non muslim than it is ok to boycott? Israel is waging war against humanity. Israel is not against Islam in particular, Israel is targeting the whole of humanity. 

When they kill children and they attack schools they are not targeting muslims per se-they are targeting the whole of mankind. 

so we do not buy the argument that since the workers are muslims than we should reconsider our boycott campaign. to us it does not matter who works at McD. 

McD Malaysia is as guilty as McD corp US and we should not make any distinctions between the 2 entities. they are one and the same

kemudian mereka tanya kenapa tak boycott syarikat US yg lain. maka kami jawab kita bukan boycott US companies, bahkan kita bukan boycott syatikat yahudi. 

Kita boycott syarijat yg membantu kewangan Israel. kami tak peduli, kalaupun syarikat itu milik umat Islam, jika dia tolong Israel maka syatikat itu akan jadi sasaran boycott juga sama macam McD.

Jadi jangan salah faham-boycott McD bukan sebab dia syarikat USA.

... ok bersambung insyaAllah
