Brahim’s aborts plan to buy Burger King ops in M’sia, S’pore

KUALA LUMPUR: Businessman Datuk Ahmad Zaki Zahid is disappointed with the decision of Brahim’s Holdings Bhd shareholders to vote against the company’s proposal to acquire the Burger King business in Malaysia and Singapore.

The former managing director of KFC Holdings Malaysia Bhd, who was expected to become Burger King’s managing director and grow the franchise in Malaysia and Singapore, said although Burger King was a loss-making entity, it had the elements of a strong food and beverage (F&B) chain.
