I am not shopping at this hypermarket anymore

I am surely not going to shop at the Mydin Hypermarket any more. Not when they seem to practice biased racial standards towards their customers.

A New Straits Times report from Johor Baru today reported that the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry has started a probe in the hypermarket for allegedly refusing to sell sugar to non-Malays.

Apparently many non-Malay customers have been victimised by the hypermarket and had lodged several complaints against the store.

According to the NST report, one such complaint include a letter to the daily alleging that the hypermarket only sold sugar to Malay customers but told others that they had run out. Other residents in JB also complained that the outlet was racially biased against non-Malays.

The daily added:

"The state enforcement unit chief Fahmi Kasim said a team conducted spot checks at the Mydin Hypermarket in Bandar Baru Uda here.

Without disclosing any details, he said the management had been advised not to practise discrimination.

He also said the management had earlier explained that it was trying to restrict customers from buying too much sugar at the expense of those who would be celebrating the festivities."

What bullshit! I don’t buy this excuse/justification at all. And from now on, I won’t buy anything from this store as well - not that I have shopped there, but just that now I know I won’t.

I hope others too, customers of all races, boycott Mydin Hypermarket for their double standards.
