The adoption of the veganism lifestyle has expanded throughout the years in Malaysia, which can be evidently seen through the increasing demand for health-related produces (organic suppliers and restaurants) and animal-free products at big grocery stores such as Ben’s Grocer and Jaya Grocer. People’s critical attention towards their life threatened well-being, for example high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes and heart attacks, has led them to the need for the purchase of more meatless, lactose-free and egg-free products, and an abundance of fruits and vegetables.

Through media monitoring on popular social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Tumblr), it is highly apparent that the demand for the availability for more vegan options in Malaysia is rising. More individuals are using #vegankl #veganmalaysia in their contents to show their support for the veganism lifestyle. They are also joining major social groups, for example Malaysia Vegans, Kuala Lumpur Vegans and Vegetarians, Vegetarians, Vegan & Organics in Kuala Lumpur & Klang Valley, and Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness. Recently, a vegan meetup, MY Vegan MeetUp, was hosted at TTDI Park this year, in which local and international public members participated to express their enthusiasm towards the lifestyle and their concerns for the lack of support from the Malaysian FnB industry.

We seek for your most esteemed support by:

-          Making more cruelty free options to be more accessible to customers

-          Giving chances for non-vegans to approach a healthier lifestyle

-          Reducing the stress and hardship of Vegans on finding appropriate products

-          Creating a more favourable opinion of big branded supermarkets

Lastly, we do thank you for taking your valuable time and effort in reading this petition. 

PS// It would definitely not hurt your profit either!
