Boycott and Malaysian Companies

I've come across two very good articles defending the boycott vis-a-vis the issue of whether our boycott of Israel and Israel-related goods will only hurt Malaysian companies and Malaysian workers.

Just click on the link to read them on their blogs: The articles are in Bahasa Kebangsaan though.

Benarkah syarikat Malaysia yang jadi mangsa boikot barangan Israel dan US?

Apakah kesan sekiranya kita boikot ...

Please read them if you have problems arguing for the boycott at your workplace, with friends, families etc.

Palestinian product boycott: How bout your cigarettes?

I support the boycott of Israel products - and those US products manufactured by companies that are known to support the Israeli regime.

However I just realized something lying besides me that should fall into that category - my box of Winston. That's a US product innit, and I'm pretty damn sure they support Israel. So I'm gonna give up smoking for now until I find a cigarette brand that are not from US. No Gudang Garam for me. The ashes burn your trousers and shirts. And furthermore my wife hates them. When we started dating I always had a pack of Gudang Garam Hitam and Dunhill with me. It was Gudang Garam or don't date with me situation then, and of course she won.

So guys and girls, please think about giving up your US cigarettes if you are really serious about supporting the boycott.

Malaysian adults take note!

This is another one of my favourite Youtube video, courtesy of our very own Yasmin Ahmad. It tells of how children are blind towards racism, something that us adults can learn a thing or two from.
