Nasi kandar operators are appealing to Penangites not to boycott their outlets, as they had nothing to do with last Friday's street protest at Komtar.
Malaysian Muslim Restaurant Operators Association president K.K. Sihabutheen said some members had complained of poor business following the peoples' boycott after the demonstration.
There are over 250 nasi kandar outlets in Penang alone as the Indian Muslim fare is popular among people of all races here.
"We are all very busy with our business, where can we find the time to go to Komtar to protest? Anyway, such an act will not benefit us," he said in an interview.
"I have been told that outlets in Chinese populated areas have reported slow business due to a drop in customers the last few days," he said.
He advised nasi kandar sellers not to panic as he believed the business slowdown was temporary and the people would soon realise there was no truth in the rumour.
I think it is unfair to boycott the owners of nasi kandar for what happened at Komtar as it is schemed by nasi lemak owners.

It is unfair, but IMHO, the whole things are hilarious.
if you remember Lee Chun Meng report "huge business losses" after BERSIH and HINDRAF rally.
Now, we will see the Penang version soon. The Mamak restaurant bosses call the media and announce their disapproval of the umno+mamak protest.
I am laughing when typing this..:)
This is another example of People's Power. So we can see how powerful if we get together. If this power is converted into consumerism, we can help control inflation.
Should get LGE to dine in any one of the Nasi Kandar outlets to help them.
Anyway, I'm sure they'll tell their friends tomorrow not to do anything funny.
the rumour that had been going around in penang is (kind of silly) - 'don't no patronise the mamak stall as they will put some 'poison' in their food for you (non malay) to eat'.
that's why many silly gullible people believe it and stay away from the mamak stalls/shops.
there is also a rumour of another protest at the state mosque.
Playing Political is playing Fire!
Rational Politics is to keep fire at the right place to fry food for ALL
Don't gamble with Fire as Most People are having Rational mind than before!
Or, it will make fool of themselves
catching fire with no mercy from those looking at the scene with LOL!!
hahahahaha... this is what i call ppl power... kudos to u all penang fellas...
Really meh? I have doubt when such news is reported by the comic, more ever at this moment.
Moo_t,
The Mamak are worried as biz is bad.
Zach,
It doesn't help control inflation for whatever reason. The CPI is up, and up and up; how to control inflation?
Alan,
Ya, LGE should go eat at Mamak stall.
Lucia,
Is there poison?
Sharing,
It's UMNO's days!
Zewt,
Ya? Peoples' power? or Mamak power?
Hasilox,
This is not a joke but pity our Mamak friends.
Bloody fcuk PM we have. He say demos is not our budaya, but then what is our budaya? This shitty sleepy can condemn Hindraf, bersih, etc but when the troublemakers from umno protest in komtar, he kept quiet. Go to hell, I have enough of you
the Pee-Empty got shit in his brain.
all rakyat knows that even the previous AGONG confirmed this by denying Pee-Empty appointed MB.
isnt that KIMMA the ones against rally - Hindraft Bersih etc, and now support them???
they should get Pee-Empty become KIMMA president hopefully more business coming in.
Demagoguery is umno budaya. He thinks umno's budaya is everybody's de facto one and only.
it is schemed by nasi lemak owners--- so boycott nasi lemak for a couple of months and see them demonstrate again, this time for forgiveness
dear maverick, how come cannot get access to jeffooi.com? any other way, please? tq
hahaha... don't pley pley with penang lang.
Artchan,
Umno has different standards from others. The saying goes: "Do what I tell you to do; not what I do."
Ling Ling Chatt,
Umno and all its cohort embraces the new democracy.
Wits0,
Ya, demogogue have their ways to justify.

Hei , guys !! you are doing the right things by posting the picture of the Mamak politicians speaking to publics during the illegal protest in Penang. This Mamak food president , Sihattbuteen tried to "snake" us again, typical of Mamak behavor !! We cetainly do not like this kind of lier , he tries to divert the solid proof to become a "mistake". LET BOYCOTT THEM ! DO NOT EAT MAMAK FOOD !!! i see their business is not down only 10-15% but more , much more than that
