Gelandangan perlu pembaharuan Akta Orang-Orang Papa 1977
Homelessness in Kuala Lumpur is a long-standing social problem that remains without a complete solution. Various rescue operations, transit centers, and welfare programs have been established to address the issue. Despite these efforts, the problem persists over time. Some observers feel this group only receives attention when the city prepares to host international events. There is a call for the Poor People Act 1977 to be reformed.
Isu gelandangan di Kuala Lumpur bukan fenomena baharu, sebaliknya masalah sosial berlarutan sekian lama tanpa penyelesaian tuntas walaupun operasi menyelamat, pusat transit dan program kebajikan diwujudkan. Malah, ada ketikanya golongan ini seolah-olah hanya mendapat ‘perhatian’ apabila ibu kota mahu menjadi tuan rumah acara antarabangsa.
