Palestinian ambassador: Better to pressure US, not boycott McDonald’s


Palestinian ambassador Dr Anwar Al-Agha on Palestinian-Israel crisis at the Palestinian embassy, Kuala Lumpur.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians shouldn’t target the workers at businesses such as McDonald’s and Starbucks in their efforts to boycott Israeli-linked companies, said Palestinian ambassador to Malaysia Dr Anwar Al Agha.

In an interview with The Star yesterday, Dr Anwar said the workers were merely trying to earn a living and it was unfair for the workers to be subjected to harassment and attacks from fellow Malaysians.
