McDonald’s Malaysia Acknowledges Clarification From BDS Malaysia

McDonald’s Malaysia filed a brand defamation legal suit to ensure McDonald’s Malaysia’s position on the Middle East conflict is made clear. With the positive outcome of the mediation and clarifications made by BDS in their recent statements, acknowledging that the actions of McDonald’s operator in Israel are wholly independent of McDonald’s Malaysia, we will be withdrawing the legal suit.

Our stance remains firm. We do not support nor are we complicit in any conflicts or wars. Having operated for more than four decades in Malaysia and being a 100% Muslim-owned business, we are proud to be a member of the local community — unwavering in our commitment to transparency, ethical business practices, and social responsibility towards Malaysians.

Our hearts go out to the innocent victims in Gaza who are caught in the conflict. We firmly condemn all forms of violence and pray for an end to the war and continued peace. McDonald’s Malaysia continues to support Palestinians impacted by the violence through our contribution to the Palestine Humanitarian Fund and various employee fundraising initiatives to further support relief efforts in Gaza.

We hope that the decision made today will allow all parties to move forward and focus on finding a resolution that upholds justice.

How Decathlon makes sports, even typically inaccessible ones, more available

Decathlon, the leading multi-specialist sports brand, has recently unveiled a global brand refresh, with a renewed motto of moving people through the wonders of sports — an aim they want to achieve by making more types of sports accessible to all.

A diverse brand portfolio

Decathlon’s extensive product range and affordable prices play a key role in making sports more accessible to everyone. By offering high-quality gear and equipment at competitive prices, Decathlon removes financial barriers that often hinder people from trying new sports or activities.

Additionally, Decathlon often holds free sporting classes and activities that are open to the public, allowing people to try out whether a sport is for them, and to also be taught by an expert at no cost.

Whether it’s racket-based fitness, cycling, or water-and-wind sports, Decathlon ensures that individuals have access to the necessary equipment to explore and enjoy a wide range of sporting experiences.
