00:00It has been more than half a year since the domestic boycott of Israel.
00:03But did you know that the United Kingdom also boycotted the colonial motherland of the United Kingdom?
00:07At that time, the United Kingdom was still afraid to bow its head.
00:09Guess who led the boycott?
00:11It doesn't matter if you don't understand. It's no use if you understand.
00:12Why do you need to understand?
00:13It's Prime Minister Mahathir.
00:15This boycott called the Buy British Lux,
00:17finally bought British goods.
00:19And in 1981, it exploded.
00:20Even government-related suppliers would bypass British companies.
00:24According to research, the reason for this boycott is
00:26that Mahathir was not satisfied with the tuition fees of the British Prime Minister.
00:29British media reported negatively about our country.
00:32And the British heavy industry company Yazili sold to Mahathir
00:35and affected the Malay land-based interests under the new economic policy.
00:38It is said that this boycott started less than a few months ago.
00:40It caused a loss of 20 million to 50 million pounds to the UK.
00:43So the British Prime Minister, Mrs. Thatcher,
00:45flew to Damascus to reconcile.
00:46This is how the 18-month boycott went down.
00:49Later, in the same way,
00:50Mahathir did it again in 1994.
00:53And this time, the boycott of the UK was successful again.
