Boycott US products?

This is absolute nonsense.

Let me explain:

When we boycott US products (like fast food, processed food, skincare products and such), all the people that work for American companies (like those mentioned above) will lose their jobs.

And when that happens, the (still stronger) American economy will fall, but ours will fall harder.

The Malaysian Ringgit isn't quite as strong as we want them to be. But with a MONUMENTAL loss of jobs, coupled with the economic crisis (that Asia will be hit with very soon), we could be looking at higher rates of poverty than ever before.

How does this benefit MALAYSIA?

We might end up worse than those that we're out to hurt.

But hey, if you really want to boycott American companies, lets start with Astro.

Because we all know the percentage of it is owned by Americans.

Oh, and lets not forget cigarettes.

No more Benson & Hedges, no Malboro.

Mind you, 70% of our ciggs here are American...

Katakan 'tak nak' kepada merokok.
