KUALA LUMPUR: McDonald’s Malaysia is appealing for rational thinking after several of its outlets here were subject to protests the past few days over claims the chain diverts part of its profit to support Israel’s war in Gaza.

According to McDonald’s Malaysia, some of its employees had to endure harassments, threats and verbal abuse following calls for a boycott after certain quarters claimed that the fast-food chain is providing funds for Israel.
