Sad sight: Some of the beggars lining a pedestrian walkway near Masjid India, Kuala Lumpur. — FAIHAN GHANI/The StarKUALA LUMPUR: The lively and vibrant streets of Kuala Lumpur are unfortunately marred by the presence of beggars guilt-tripping passers-by to part with their money.
“Most of the beggars I see are foreigners. Sometimes, beggars will also come into the store to beg from me.At the bus hub, a drinks stall owner who did not want to be named, could point out all the beggars in the vicinity.“It’s always the same people and they come in their own groups. They come anytime they want and usually stay till the evening when the crowd thins out,” he said.
The women averted their eyes when approached and after further observation, they seem to target men who are of a similar nationality. “When they are given money, they will keep coming back. It is a nuisance because sometimes they will startle my customers by touching or tapping on their arm to get attention,” she said.“Every day, I see beggars who I think are Rohingya or of other foreign descent, but they don’t cause trouble and will leave when asked,” she said.
