It seems that it is more than a Pavlovian response that affects some prominent Malaysians as far as the Gaza conflict is concerned.
According to this article in malaysiakini Quit your jobs, Dr M tells McDonald's, Starbucks workers, Malaysians are being encouraged to quit their already low-paid jobs at fast-food joints.
I wonder what Johor Corp that owns the KFC franchise thinks of such irrational thinking. Is the former PM going to give financial support to these workers if they cannot find other suitable employment?
Maybe he should volunteer his services as a special peace envoy from Malaysia to get the Israelis and Hamas to sit down and talk peace.
On another note, I urge all parents with school children to protest the Education Minister's grand plan to "mobilise" school children to protest against the Gaza fighting. The MoE should focus more on producing quality teachers than trying to be a rabble-rouser.

Telling our low-paid workers to quit is actually a 'great' idea from a 'great' leader. At the same time he will be telling his children to stop their companies from exporting to the US. His cronies and friends (aren't they all just cronies?) will also stop exporting to the US. Then for good measure, they will all divest their properties, shares, and holdings in countries that do not support Hamas. And for good measure, they will close their bank accounts in the same countries and repatriate the funds to Malaysia to feed the now jobless, formerly low-paid workers of McDonalds, Starbucks, Coke, etc.
Oh, what a truly great leader with truly great ideas!
At a time when the economic situation is so uncertain, this call to quit reminds me of the phrase "let them eat bread".
