Some chain restaurants have had a tougher time. McDonald's promised in September 2002 under heavy criticism that it would change the oil in its fryers.

...Asian governments need to fight terror on multiple fronts. Both Indonesia and the Philippines should enact stern counterterrorism laws. Indonesia should ban J.I., enabling the country's security agencies to move decisively against it. And it should clean up the radical madrasahs that breed extremists, subjecting them to tougher law enforcement and pressuring Muslim religious and educational organizations to police them. In the Philippines, the authorities should shut down training camps through intelligence-led military action and through talks with the main Muslim militant group, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front...
