History in Malaysia

In 1973, the first KFC restaurant in Malaysia was opened at Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman.  Today there are more than 500 KFC Restaurants nationwide and still counting.  KFC Restaurant is one of the most popular place to eat among Malaysians.

KFC Restaurants in Malaysia are an establishment that is run by Malaysians and manage by Malaysians.  They create a selection of food that would make Malaysian proud on the international  scene.  For example, Kentucky Nuggets was conceived in Malaysia and found its way to KFC worldwide.  'Meals on Wheels' was also developed in Malaysia.  It was created for the purpose of bringing great tasting chicken to places where KFC Restaurant might not be available.

On the other hands, they also developed Projek Penyayang in 1995, which they want to give something back to the community.  It is an effort to enable thousands of orphans and unprivileged children to enjoy KFC every year.

In 1997, Tabung Penyayang KFC was develop.  It is a charity fund that help children and the needy through various CSR programme.  It also represents a precentage of revenue generated from the sale of KFC's Kids's Fun Meal. In August 1999, KFC introduced its 'Tabung Penyanyang' KFC Collection Box as an extension to the Tabung Penyayang KFC Programme. Collection boxes are placed at all KFC restaurants enabling customer to contribute and be a part of this charitable effort.

Today, 4 of KFC Restaurants are run by speech and hearing-impaired staffs that was designed to serve physically challenged individuals. They serve to dispel the myth that a disability impede a person from leading a normal life and gives them a sense of confidence and self-esteem.

These 4 restaurants are located in Peninsular and East Malaysia. First is at Sentul Raya, in Kuala Lumpur, second is at Saujana, in Sarawak, the third is at Tanjung Aru, Sabah and 4th Johor.
