Residents in Malaysia were amazed to see McDonald's had changed its name to ‘Mekdi’ for Malaysia Day.

The filmer Subattra who shot the video on August 30 is heard saying in an astonished voice: “Seriously Mekdi, what the hell?”

The outlet shown is known for being the 'first-ever' McDonald’s restaurant Malaysia, dating back to 1982, and was renamed to mark the Merdeka and Malaysia Day celebrations.

This is the moment the residents were left stunned after Mc Donalds changed its name to ‘Mekdi’ as it put its first signboard in their Bukit Bintang Outlet in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.
As per Mc Donalds, it gives a fair share of credit to the Malaysians for what they are today as the residents have helped it establish as a brand in the region.
The outlet being the 'First-Ever' Mc Donald’s restaurant opened in 1982, they decided to rename it as a part of their Merdeka and Malaysia Day celebrations.
In yet another move to take the celebration to the next level of Malaysian-ness the fast-food giant also introduced their own version of Malaysians’ favourite- albeit unhealthy-breakfast: Nasi Lemak McD.
The ingredients include lemak rice, ikan bilis sambal, cucumbers, and a fried egg included.

The other visitors also were taken aback by this move and are seen clicking pictures of the outlet which has gained fame for its newfound name.
