IPOH: Calls for boycotts as well as criminal acts of attack on KK Super Mart convenience stores should stop.
The people should let the law take its rightful course, says the Malaysian Crime Prevention Foundation (MCPF).
MCPF Kinta district chairman Chung Kok Heung said Umno Youth chief Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh must end his calls to boycott the KK Super Mart convenience store chain nationwide.
He hoped the police would catch the culprits involved in the Molotov cocktail attacks on three shops of the convenience store chain.
“Such attacks are creating fear among the general public, and this could deter people from purchasing items from the convenience stores.
“The incidents can affect the business confidence of not only local investors but foreign investors as well.
“I hope Dr Muhamad Akmal will think twice before carrying out calls to boycott the stores,” he said.
“We need to ensure that racial harmony is maintained,” he added during a visit to one of the outlets on Jalan Raja Ekram here yesterday in a show of support by MCPF for KK Super Mart stores.
Chung also said Datuk Seri Dr Chai Kee Kan, the founder and executive chairman of KK Supermart & Superstore Sdn Bhd, is also a MCPF member.
He said His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, had advised everyone to be more responsible and warned all parties against taking advantage of this incident, including inciting the people.
As such, Chung said Dr Muhamad Akmal must stop provoking the people.
“Even the Prime Minister himself has advised everyone to move on from this and to look at other issues concerning the economy and the rising cost of living,” he added.

Boycotting local businesses can indeed have far-reaching consequences that go beyond mere economic impact.
1. **Economic Impact:** Local businesses are the backbone of any economy. They provide employment opportunities, contribute to tax revenues, and stimulate economic growth through innovation and competition. By boycotting these businesses, there's a direct hit to the economy, leading to job losses, decreased tax revenue, and a slowdown in economic activity.
2. **Country's Image and Goodwill:** Local businesses also play a significant role in shaping a country's image and goodwill. They often represent the entrepreneurial spirit, cultural heritage, and unique offerings of a nation. When people boycott local businesses, it can send a negative message about the country's business environment, potentially tarnishing its reputation and goodwill in the global market.
3. **Currency Strength:** A thriving local economy is closely linked to the strength of the national currency. When local businesses suffer due to boycotts, it creates instability and weakens the currency. This can lead to inflation, reduced purchasing power for citizens, and increased economic uncertainty, affecting everyone in the country, including those not directly involved in the boycott.
4. **Social Fabric:** Local businesses are often deeply connected to the social fabric of communities. They sponsor local events, support charitable causes, and foster a sense of community pride. Boycotting these businesses can erode this social cohesion, leading to divisions and tensions within society.
In essence, boycotting local businesses can be seen as sabotaging not just the economy but also the country's image, goodwill, and overall stability. It's important to promote a balanced approach that encourages responsible consumer choices while also supporting local businesses and the broader national economy.
