Nasi Kandar Boycott - WTF???

Lately it has been said in the news that there is an SMS circulating in the state of Penang for non-Malays to boycott nasi kandar sellers.

WTF??

Why must boycott?? Evidently, this came about when some indian muslim demonstrated in Komtar after the new CM was misqouted by Bernama.

But according to my in-laws in Penang, business really has been hit.

Why penalize some poor sop who has been dishing out nasi kandar all this years, without fear or favor of the NEP? He most probably did not know enough big wig in UMNO to qualify as an UMNOputra to enjoy the fruits of the NEP.

I call to all the state EXCO in Penang to show solidarity with the Nasi Kandar sellers and to dispel the ugly SMS and put this to bed sooner than later. Quite simply, just have lunch at a Nasi Kandar shop to proove that that SMS is from a stoopid person, most probably an UMNO-crat looking to ferment and spread ill will amongst the food-loving people of Penang.
