Boycott...

semalam aku ada sembang-sembang ngan kawan aku pasal memboikot pembelian barangan Israel... dia don't really agree sebab apa lah sangat kita nak boikot tak jadi apa pun... plus dgn memboikot ramai org yg innocent mungkin menghadapi masalah pekerjaan, dan kita too dependent ngan barang2 org israel ni.. so we wont be able to live our life without it...

boycott ni aku rasa tak lah sampai kita buang barang2 yg kita ada... buang computer, buang handphone... dan duduk dalam gua... it's selective in membeli barang2 supaya kita elak beli barang2 yg directly product israel.

on org tempatan gak takde keje... hmm... yes aku setuju... but at the same time maybe wujud opportunity kat company tempatan... for example, kalau lah kita semua boycott McD, by doing that... company tempatan dpt sales bagus... instead of beli kat Carrefour kita beli kat kedai2 runcit tempatan... harga mungkin mahal skit... but thats the price... bukan ke yg akan untung rakyat tempatan jugak...

it happened before, masa middle east boycott coke... wujud zamzam cola dr Iran yg sales dia boom mendadak... :-) for sure bila ada business yg meningkat org2 yg keje kat company kena tutup blh keje kat company yg maju... i.e. company tempatan... (taken from this website- inminds)

utk barang2 yg perlu diboycott, aku copy paste list ni dr website inminds

aku highlight kan few brands yg close to us.. yes... mmg susah nak boycott semua.. infact aku pun tak mampu nak boycott semua... tp at this point of time... apa yg mampu tu cuba lah... perhaps by doing this... mungkin ada brand2 tempatan yg blh laku... org kita jugak untung... brg2 ni pun bukannya bagus sgt... tp marketing je power... :-) insyaAllah...

btw, che det pun ajak kita boycott brgn israel...
