Yeap... Small mamak restaurant has won the eight year law suit against giant conglomerate McDonalds !!
The reason I'm interested in this news is because McCurry is our so called neighbourhood mamak stall.....(within walking distance)
I'm not surprised at all that McCurry won the lawsuit. Even my favorite fast food chain is McDonalds, I believe that the word "Mc" is very universal and very very common. There's The Beatles star, Paul McCartney ! J.K Rowling's fictional character from Harry Potter, Professor Minerva McGonagall ! Not to mentioned Formula One Team, McLaren Mercedes !!! Even Apple's MAC has the same pronunciation.
Basically, I'm giving useless examples to prove my statment... LOL... McDonalds only concerns with the usage of the prefix "Mc" for business signage only... So you can't have shop called McChilli 24 hours Roti Canai without McDonald's preying eyes on you.
But this law suit has brought lots of international attention to this small McCurry restaurant. Even appeared in the times online. Hope that their business would be blooming soon ! XD
P/S : Don't get me wrong, I love Ronald McDonalds. wa~~~ I want a Double Cheeseburger !
