Pitiful or nuisance? Beggar frequenting Fu Lu Shou Complex divides opinion
A recent incident involving a beggar near Waterloo Street, who reportedly made $10 in just five minutes, has sparked a heated online debate.
The encounter was shared by a netizen on the Complaint Singapore Facebook page on Dec 18, where the user expressed frustration at how quickly the beggar accumulated the cash.
The post's caption read: «In 5 mins left with $10. Guess how much he collects a day. Better income than some doctors, accountants or lawyers.»
While some agreed with the sentiment, many others criticised the post for its lack of empathy.
