McDonald's withdraws defamation suit against BDS Malaysia


PETALING JAYA: McDonald's Malaysia has withdrawn its legal suit against Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Malaysia after the movement acknowledged that the operator here is wholly independent and not linked to the one in Israel.

"Our stance remains firm as we do not support nor are we complicit in any conflicts or wars having operated for more than four decades in Malaysia," said McDonald's Malaysia managing director Datuk Azmir Jaafar in a statement on Friday (March 22).
