NGOs urge boycott of 'Chinese pro-Pakatan' firms

A group of Islamic NGOs has asked the Malay community to boycott several products and companies belonging to Chinese Malaysians, which it claims funded Pakatan Rakyat in the 13th general election.

Muslim Consumers Association of Malaysia (PPIM) chief activist Nadzim Johan ( left ) said the actions of these companies have caused disunity in the country.
As such, Nadzim told a press conference this morning, the NGOs wish to "send a signal to the companies concerned not to misbehave".
Among the products and companies in the firing line are two restaurant chains, a supermarket chain, as well as popular bread and flour brands.
In a joint statement that was later distributed, the NGOs said that the boycott would be a simple but effective way of curbing PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim from further "inciting the rakyat" and the DAP from making use of the Chinese Malaysian community to "obtain power".
