  1. just wondering, if they can't make the "no palm oil" to be too obvious, are they then still allowed to add in then ingredients label: has palm oil, or is that a no go too? 🤔 where exactly do they draw the line?

  2. Palm oil is healthy if pure known as crude. But the palm oil in market is highly processed which has less nutritional value.

    Not only palm oil. Any vegetable oil if processed it loss it nutritional value

  3. That's not going to work. The products werent discriminating the industry, it was to attract certain kinds of customers. If you deprive them from this option on their label, you would be depriving them from the rights to do business. The question now becomes what gives you the rights to discriminate businesses? The palm oil industry is long overdue. Instead of changing the business to adapt to current needs, they insist on sitting on an expired dreams.

  4. was that a law stating such product on sales in malaysia is illegal . how about imported product that uses none oil palm oil ? All have to taken down ?we are becoming a country runs by bully .

  5. It is also right for consumers to chose and the government cannot force consumers to consume what the government says. I am not against local produce but it is my choice and I do not wish to consume palm oil contained food I have the right to avoid it. The government has no right to force me. When buying items in grocery I read the label if it contains beef or pork. The same goes with oil whether it is palm oil or other vege oil. That is my right as a consumer. The company that produces the product has its right to label what the content is made of.

  6. What would happen if other countries start boycotting Malaysian or any other products that has Malaysian palm oil in it? Two can play the game and we better be careful.

  7. Oil Palm Oil is one of the best edible oil found on earth, it is totally natural and has no chemicals whatsoever, yet many westerners inculpate and use labels to indicate oil palm free foods, totally losing their respect for the truth.

  8. See this is the positive effect from the boycotting of KKMart 😂 . Not only the public but also the government is making aware to everyone not to mess with the domestic and national interest/sentiments of belove 🇲🇾.

  9. When Europeans and westerners use their power to demonized Malaysia and Indonesia palm oil, we should work together to find new products potential with palm oil and work closely with China to develop ASEAN+China+Out of Western influences cooperation economy. Let westerners live in their own circle and the rest of the world like ASEAN, whole Asia, Africa Union, South America, Middle East have our own peaceful and harmony economy
