Founder and advisor of Berjaya Corporation Berhad, Tan Sri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun, called for Malaysians to stop boycotting Starbucks as it will “only affect our own people”. Starbucks Malaysia is a Malaysia-owned company, with only local employees at its headquarters and a majority of 80 to 85 percent of Muslim staff at its operating stores. When this made headlines, netizens tore into what Tan said with one Twiter user saying this would only make Malaysians take a closer look into the tycoon’s other businesses and boycott them all. Starbucks has been facing a boycott following the Israel-Palestine conflict which escalated last October.
