No mercy for syndicates that use kids to beg, warns Yeoh

NO mercy for syndicates that use children to beg, Deputy Women, Family and Community Develop­ment Minister Hannah Yeoh has warned.

“If the public is approached by child beggars or performers seeking alms by the roadside, in restaurants or in front of houses of worship, don’t give them any money,” she said when answering a question raised by Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh (PH-Ledang).
