Today I saw a beggar light and smoke a cigarette. The thing is, he has no fingers or toes.

Sadly, many beggars in KL are controlled by syndicates that pick them up and drop them off at high human traffic points ( how else can you explain the sudden appearance of one-legged / limbless beggars at weekends-only night markets, high-storeyed monorail stations, etc? ).

While I am not discouraging you from helping the needy, do use your disgression when parting with your extra change - otherwise your sympathy might just be going into the wrong hands and feeding this business.
