Beggar on a bike

WHO says that beggars cannot be choosers? During these days of affluence style seems to be the essence of life. While previously the media reported that a snatch thief drives in a Mercedes and has an air-hostess wife to boot – in Bukit Mertajam, a beggar does his rounds on a bike.

While it is not known what model he rides on a vernacular Chinese daily reported today that the man in his 30s seeks his fortune doing his beat door-to-door at upmarket residential areas.

A housewife only known as Huang told the daily that the man will stop in front of houses where only luxury cars are parked in the porch. He will than stretch out his hand for handouts in and only demands RM10 and RM20 bills.

It is said that the Hokkien-speaking man will tell his “benefactors” that he is unemployed and as failed to get any job even though he has been trying hard to fend for himself.

He also claims that he is recovering from a serious illness and has young children at home to look after.
