THE MALAYSIAN INSIDER
BY ZULKIFLI SULONG AND DANIEL LAU
An unofficial boycott of Malaysian goods by Iranian businessmen has left rubber products worth some RM2 million lying in a warehouse in the Middle East nation, a backlash against Umno's recent anti-Shia campaign.
Azizi Ahmad, Executive Director Malaysian Iranian Corporation, said the boycott was not endorsed by Tehran but was an initiative of individuals in Iran unhappy with the campaign to vilify Shia Islam, the predominant Muslim sect in the country.
