You read about these people from China becoming beggars in our shore. Some have one limb missing, some on wheelchairs and all trying to look pitiful. I doubt all of them beg in their homeland. Remember, not long ago there were fake monks…
Some people still gave although they were not sure if they were real hardship cases or they belonged to a syndicate. They said it was the right thing to do and it made them feel good.
I think I won’t give. You see, these beggars have to get an air ticket to come here and then have to pay for accommodation and food. And their intention? Not to visit our lovely Island but to prey on the kindness of soft-hearted Singaporeans. I just feel it is not right.

i only donate to students with coin boxes. for the beggars, i will consider calling police... its illegal to beg in sg
In my area (near a wet market) we have seen them coming in a van. Most of them can walk and pretended not to when they reached their spot. Some of them carries babies but those babies will sleep thru the hot sun. Sleep? they look more likely being drug as no children will be like that! Hope no one will give them any money.
