McDonald’s Malaysia has announced a RM1 billion investment plan to expand its operations over the next five years.
Under the plan, the company will open 100 new outlets nationwide, generating more than 10,000 job opportunities. McDonald’s Malaysia, which currently employs over 16,000 Malaysians, will maintain its 100% local hiring policy.
The company also sources 75% of its products locally, supporting domestic suppliers and contributing to the growth of Malaysia’s food industry.
Managing Director and Local Operating Partner Datuk Azmir Jaafar said the expansion aligns with the company’s long-term vision of building a skilled and future-ready workforce. Despite a challenging business environment, McDonald’s Malaysia recorded 26% year-on-year growth in 2025, reflecting strong customer trust and loyalty.
The announcement coincided with the reopening of the McDonald’s Titiwangsa Drive-Thru outlet after renovations. The company currently operates more than 370 outlets nationwide, having opened seven new restaurants in 2025 and 11 in 2024.
Several of the new outlets will be located in Sabah and Sarawak to meet rising demand. McDonald’s will also continue expanding its Vocational Academy, developed with the Human Resources Ministry under the National Dual Training System, to provide training and career opportunities for youths, persons with disabilities, B40 communities, and Orang Asli groups.
Azmir said the investment underscores the company’s commitment to sustainable growth, workforce development, and long-term contributions to Malaysian communities.
