Today is Friday. Muslim usually preferred to give alms and donation on this very day. Because of this nature we can see a lot of beggars will wait at mosque compound to beg . some of them are really in need and some of them make this as professional jobs. But what I’ve always feel sad about is when there is a syndicate to use children as beggar.
Today, I performed my weekly obligation of Jumaat Prayer at Masjid Seberang Jaya. The usual scenery in this Mosque is there will always a male toddler and his older sister will beg at the front gate of the mosque. And some time the two will be accompanied by their mother and a baby. They will sit there under the sun without umbrella or anything to shade them from the sun. it is very hard. I am confused with their status whether protected by a syndicate or they are really in need.
But today is different, after perform the solat I went out, an on my walk to go to my vehicle, I saw new beggar. But the situation is strange. The beggar is a boy which I think about 6 years old or less. The boy seems to have a distorted face. He is standing beside the pathway while holding a container to beg. Behind him is a man which I assume the person who bring or train this boy to beg. The boy is a rookie. He will hold the man constantly but the man will always push the boy in front and I heard the man said “ janganlah pegang-pegang!” (don’t hold on me). What I saw is that everyone just walk away and some give donation. And me, I stop for a minute to look up what happen. But I can’t do more for him.
I feel very sad to think about the boy. I spontaneously think about my children. They are lucky. I hope it will not happen to my children and all children in this world. And this also remind me that a lot of my friends are government officer. Can’t these government officer do something about this. Can’t police just arrest this beggars and channelled them to appropriate shelter house. Investigate these syndicates which everybody in Malaysia in their mind believes it is exist. Please do something because I feel sad.
