Malay rights group Perkasa will seek a meeting with i-City Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) staff over a Youtube video that showed one of its staff attacking a customer last Monday.
Perkasa secretary-general Syed Hassan Syed Ali (below) said the initiative was in light of the victim already receiving media attention.
"It looks like the party claiming to be attacked by a KFC workers is the only one getting media attention.
“Perkasa feels that they (the KFC staff involved) should be given the chance to explain to the public what really happened.
"Perkasa wll meet with the KFC staff soon to get an explanation," he said in a statement yesterday.
On Thursday, the victim, Danny Ng, assisted by Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng had called for a press conference over the incident.
According to Ng, he had scolded the KFC staff for its poor service after the outlet ran out of chicken.
Ng’s outburst angered the staff, some of whom tried to attack him.
However, he has declined uttering racial slurs against the staff.

Customer 'no right to scold'
Public comments over the incident, said Syed Hassan, has been "very unfair" to the KFC staff involved and that Ng should not have scolded the KFC employees.
"Certainly there are better ways to express dissapointment when what we want has finished. Why is there a need to shout angrily in premises that does not belong to him?
“He is only a customer, what rights does he has to scold the KFC workers?" he said.
Sympathising with the workers, Syed Hassan said they have to stand all day long in the kitchen on top of serving their customers.
Yesterday, Malaysiakini visited the premises but its managerdeclined to comment, insisting that any queries be referred to its headquarters.
