When the poor is not poor at all…..
Beggars at shopping complexes in Puchong are using new tactics to get sympathy, pretending to be sick or unconscious, Sinar Harian reported.
These beggars, mainly from China, apparently earn a lot of money every day by eliciting sympathy from shoppers.
Kuan Chee Heng, special officer to the Seri Serdang assemblyman, said he was shocked at an old beggar’s actions when approached last Sunday.
“He looked like he was going to faint as I was about to approach him, but then ran towards the highway.
“Surprisingly, he was able to run as far as two kilometres although he seemed so weak when I first saw him,” he said, adding that the beggar, wearing clothes in navy blue, crossed the LDP highway and jumped over the divider.
He said he believed the beggar was used by a syndicate and advised the public not to be misled by these beggars who were “very good actors”.
