​

STOMPer Mark saw this beggar at Bedok MRT station and says the sight of beggars in Singapore disturbs him.

He says:

"They are seen mostly around the MRT vicinity.

"I am greatly perturbed by this.

"This beggar at Bedok MRT station is one who I see several times since Monday.

"Today (September 2) I saw him at 7.45am and when I was on my way back from work I saw him again at 10.30pm.

"I do pray that our society will not be too fast paced that people who can't cope will be left behind to become beggars."

There have also been recent reports in the various media touching on how 'professionals' from other countries come to Singapore and work in such begging syndicates.

Do send us pictures and tell us when you see them.

Some of these beggars are foreigners and part of syndicates which get a chunk of the money donated to them. They may be pitiful but one wonders how they happen to arrive in Singapore to beg. If they are really needy, shouldn't they be begging in their own country?

Agree, we should give to local beggars only.

You need thick face, uh.. talent to beg

Can definitely consider them to be talented when you fall for their antics and be poorer at the end of the day:p

Just breed some bottle of ants and other bugs and donate into the bowls !
