Campaign to boycott US goods
2009/01/07
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Muslim Consumers Association, along with Muslim restaurateurs and several Muslim non-governmental organisations, will be launching a campaign to boycott American products tomorrow.
The national campaign to boycott selected Jewish and American goods is being launched as a protest against the United States' policies on anti-terrorism and Israel's attacks on Palestine.
MMCA secretary general Datuk Dr Ma'amor Osman urged Malaysians, including non-Muslims, to support the campaign.
He also urged the government to stop using US currency and the people to boycott Hollywood movies and American music.
He said consumers should turn to local brands instead.
