who's the blind one + the malaysian daredevil
i wanted to have a say on this issue for quite a long time. but it never came to my mind when i blogged. so now, it's time to say something.
in my work place (bangsar), i 've noticed a few couples (some husband and wife, frens (man + man combo), some odd ones too-malay and chinese lady, a young couple - ard mid 20's) were begging for money during the peak hour @ lunch time. these couples (one of them is blind or partial blind) would go to every bloody table there is in every bloody restaurant and stalls to beg for money. i would rather ignore them than paying them up because:
1) the young couple was not all disabled. even though he was blind, he could have enrol in some schools or associations to learn some vocational skills. all they want is easy money. it's a no no for you man... well his partner, is not blind at all. and he/she will be guiding the blind one to each and every table customer in those retaurants.
2) there's one couple (the man + man), with one of them is not blind at all but pretended to be blind. and for me, his acting is damn bad. this particular guy, would roll up his eyes (watching upwards), and would walk with his cane 'floating', not using it as a guide. normally a blind person would use the cane as their 'eyes'. but not this man, he can walk without the cane, and still managed to avoid all obstacles in front of him, swerving left and right, in and out, and would approach tables with restaurant patron and avoid all the empty tables. how 'good' that acting can be. maybe he's one of those 'gifted' blind person with the ability of 'the daredevil' (the comic book character). the malaysian version of daredevil. and once when i went back home late, i saw this guy 'the malaysian daredevil' sitting at the bus stop chatting away happily and smoking a cigarette. 'looking left and right' with his 'now-recovered' eye sight.
there's one thing i would like to comment now, and it's not about the so-called-blind beggars, but the people who gave them the money. i had noticed that majority of them just giving away their money without observing the disabilities, behaviour, and action. how many blind person who can walk without the help of their cane and still managed to avoid all obstacles. of course, the malaysian 'daredevil' can. and for once, let's us think for a moment.
WHO'S THE BLIND ONE??? THE ONES WHO PRETENDED TO BE BLIND OR THE GOOD HEARTED MALAYSIAN WHO GAVE THEIR MONEY BLINDLY (MANY OF THEM WOULD JUST PASS THE MONEY WITH EVEN LOOKING WHO THAT THEY ARE GIVING THEIR MOONEY TO).
