Kuala Lumpur Traders and Residents’ Action Council chairperson and owner of 1Malaysia Fish Restaurant Jamal Md Yunus has declared that he is a supporter of any political party or politician. However, he has gone through great length to do something even a hardcore supporter can't muster to do.
First, Jamal has branded his 18 restaurants as 1Malaysia Fish Restaurant or better known as Sekinchan Ikan Bakar Restaurant. As a luxury car dealer who has obviously benefited from APs handouts, he has offered two luxury cars to those who sign up and participate in the Bersih 4.0 protest. Of course, those who signed up must also visit and eat in his restaurants. The cars on offer are a 2005-model car which is worth RM225,000. The other car is a 2009-model Lamborghini Gallardo worth RM1.2 million.
What an opportunist, Jamal! This is better than even a guy who would advertise his thoughts on 1Malaysia and national unity on national newspapers. Brilliant! I am sure Perkasa and UMNO hardcore supporters would know where to eat and organize their functions in the following months running up to the general election.
Unfortunately, Jamal does not behave as a trader who is really affected by the Bersih 3.0 demonstration. He cannot fool anyone who was there. Those who had opened for business had probably made a killing that day for an entire week's profit. Those shops and eateries who had stayed opened during the 428 demonstration would have told us to bring it on every week!
Jamal is not such a generous guy if he has appeared to be so calculative in the first place. Do you expect a person such as Jamal to donate two luxury cars if he does not expect to make 100 x back in return?
He even charged a fee for those who wanted to participate in his Bersih 4.0 market.
I believe Jamal is probably an ambitious trader and businessman who wanted to impress his political bosses. Since Jamal is so rich and so generous, we should just stop giving him more business. There are other poorer restaurant owners selling ikan bakar who would appreciate and welcome our business.
We should 'Boycott' all of Jamal's 18 restaurants. Yes, he has a right to protest and voice out his opinion. We have a choice to choose not to patronize his restaurants.
Bersih 3.0 did not attempt to invade the privacy of anyone. It had merely requested to use the Dataran Merdeka which is a public space and big enough to accommodate a peaceful assembly.
Jamal must be taught a lesson not to mess around with someone else's privacy and home. As a businessman, he must accept the risk associated with his behaviour.
We have said that we will stand up for Ambiga and her courage to stand up for a clean and fair electoral system.

That being said, if I am in charge of UMNO, I would sack my advisers and consultants forthwith. Why? All these brouhaha has turned away the undecided voters from BN. This block of undecided voters form about 20% of the voters in each constituency, big or small. In many constituencies in 2008, the victors, BN or PR, won by a small margin with many in this block voting for the status quo ie BN. Now the latest incident is seen, rightly or wrongly, as an old frail Indian woman being hammered and harassed with the mighty BN hammer. I could have advised BN better. We must learn not only from our own history but from the history of our neighbors too. The Burmese generals have found to their dismay that hammering ladies never achieved the desired effect but, in fact, enhanced the opposite.
well said!
boycott this restaurant...

Ah, a quote of Gandhi. However I share your sentiments. People shouldn't be as immature as to commit such childish acts. The fall of BN is inevitable; let them pull whatever they want to. Persevere and endure. That's how Gandhi did it. And for that, he has earned the respect of many. (many might be an understatement)
Although, the one way BN can regain the people's trust is simple really. Admit to all those atrocious crimes and persecute those who have wronged. A fresh new face with a decent sense of justice will regain the citizen's trust. However, with all that they're doing now - I'd say their fall is inevitable.
Well,first of all this ball carrier Yunus,sure has benefitted a lot from his sucking up to his masters,being given handouts of AP's.This type of people will bend over for their masters at the snap of a finger.Saiful would love him for what he is worth.Leeches like him are plentiful,and can be caught by the buckets in padi fields.
I think we should hold a protest in front of all Sekinchang Ikan Bakar Restaurant.
And there is his hawker's licence to sell nasi lemak in the Jalan TAR area, which he claims to be "maintaining"...
Would the high-profile datuk still be selling nasi lemak as a hawker? Or has he "pajak" it out, or just employed workers to run his stall?
Does this sort of behaviour meet the DBKL's criteria for such licences? Or is there sufficient grounds to tarik his licence?
I also wonder if there are any tables and chairs around his many Sekinchan Ikan Bakar outlets which are in breach of local council regulations governing blocking of sidewalks and car-parking...
This petty trader would be better off if he kept his mouth shut.Then nobody would know that he is such an asshole.Except maybe his masters or handlers.
In the name of decency, BOYCOTT this Umno stooge's eateries AS THOUGH YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT!!!
why isnt there any businessman who can do the same as he does? only this time, make a campaign and give back to patrons for supporting Bersih?
barulah an eye for an eye... :)
Boycott!
I have never tried his ikan bakar and never will. A BN colony.
Yes you are saying right that an eye for eye will make this world blind.
