At a press conference, Tan explained that Starbucks Malaysia is owned by BFood, a Malaysian company, and operates as a franchise. He highlighted that 85% of the staff at Starbucks Malaysia stores are Muslim workers and called the boycott unnecessary, stating, “This boycott does not benefit anyone. Whatever you do is not going to change Israel and what Israel wants to do.”
