100 KFC outlets temporarily suspended according to report

OVER 100 KFC outlets nationwide have been suspended after about half a year of the boycott movement, Nanyang Siang Pau reported, citing information from Google Maps.

As of April 27, nearly 108 outlets had paused operations.

There are currently over 600 KFC restaurants in Malaysia, according to its website.

KFC, along with a few other global brands such as Starbucks and McDonald’s, have been facing intense boycotts due to their purported support or perceived link to Israel amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

QSR Brands Holding Sdn Bhd, which owns and runs the KFC franchise in Malaysia, also operates the restaurants in Singapore, Brunei, and Cambodia, as well as more than 480 Pizza Hut outlets in Malaysia and Singapore.

Kelantan is the hardest hit with nearly 80% or up to 21 outlets stopping their operations temporarily, followed by 15 outlets in Johor.

Johor state investment arm Johor Corporation (JCorp) is the largest shareholder in QSR, which together with its unit KFC Holdings (M) Bhd were taken private in February 2013.
