Handicapped PRC people begging for money at S'pore hawker centres
A STOMPer was puzzled by the sight of handicapped people from China begging in Singapore's hawker centres, and wondered how they came to be begging here.
Here's what the surprised STOMPer wrote in an email today (Jan 3):
"Did these people from the PRC really take a plane to our tiny island just beg for money?
"I can't help but wonder why the government isn't doing anything about them? This is not the first time I have seen them.
"These pictures were taken at Jurong West Hawker centre.
"Imagine if everyone donates $2 to them.20 people would mean $40!
"Such easy money. They even earn more then the hawkers themselves.
"How can they be rich enough to take a plane to Singapore yet have to beg for money?"
