Those people are illegal immigrants from around the region. Locals don't beg for money.

malasia sekarang enggak aman bagi Orang asing apalagi baru-baru ini viral seorang wisatawan Inggris kena palak di sogok polisi Malasia diminta paksa 300 ringgit kasus ini viral jadi berita nasional. Berhati-hatilah di sana bang Solo dan kembalilah ke Indonesia menjelajahi Semua keberagaman Budaya Indonesia keramahtamahan. Sekarang banyak vlogger Orang Asing mencintai Indonesia dan kagum dengan kebudayaan Bangsa Indonesia yang besar seperti vlogger Kelly dari Korea,, Matthias Pettersen dari Norwegia,, Kristian Hansen dari Amerika,, dan masih banyak lagi. Di malasia tidak Memiliki budaya identitas kebanyakan budaya China Tiongkok India Bangladesh Nepal Rohingya yang menonjol disana 😊

rakyat malaysia kalau susah boleh minta bantuan dekat kerajaan , macam macam bantuan kerajaan sediakan untuk orang susah . tak perlu pun nak mengemis dekat pelancong macam tu . yang mengemis macam tu sudah tentu bukan warga negara malaysia tidak layak dapat bantuan kerajaan . mungkin mereka pelarian , pendatang haram , report polis je nanti kena tangkap lah tu . negara ada undang undang !

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

As a foreigner it's hard to report them

[@andreakazyncski4518]

@@TravelingSoloLogs I don’t think so. I have seen many foreigners making police reports in the police station before.

​@@TravelingSoloLogs Thank you solo for this video and for spread awareness for us. God bless youq

[@leemarvingaye4506]

Malaysia is a safe and fun to travel,I spent 5 weeks in Malaysia. The locals are friendly, the foods are amazing and the malls are insane. Just beware to others, those scammers are not Malaysian, they are from another country. Go visit Malaysia!

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

Thanks for sharing, I love Malaysia too! It's an amazing country

[@KenshinAsuka]

Yup, giving food will help us determine whether or not he/she is a scammer

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

True, good point

[@zerothree332]

The only reason we Malaysians don’t report the lady is probably because of the baby. They usually belong to a syndicate, and they are everywhere. My advice to you is to avoid them. Sorry you have to experience this in our country. But thanks for visiting us. Please do come again my friend. God bless.

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

Thank you so much, I hope things will improve

[@AlamSementara]

You are very experience traveller and can notice this people are not local. You should advice other travellers on this scammers because they brings bad image to Malayaia.

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

Yes, that's why one of the main reasons for this video. I don't want people to get a bad image of Malaysia

[@zamgend9641]

As Muslim we must not beg,even Rasulullah peace be upon him give axe to begger so they can make a living

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

Thanks for sharing, the lady seems fully capable to work

[@yazidahjemali3047]

Just ignore them, please. So far they can get food if they really need it. Malaysians are generous with food for ppl really in need.

[@skysea5786]

Usually if I want to avoid being scam is just smile, give slight bow and move far away from them don't go in any store close to the area. Like you say, sometime they will follow you.

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

Good advice

[@andreashelton]

Thanks for the tip

[@PhilTravel]

I almost got scammed by an independent phone shop in Kuala Lumpur when i want to buy a sim card. Tourists better buy sim cards directly from the phone network provider shops

that lady with a baby is not local ... something wrong 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Rohingya

[@anitayusof4903]

Thx, solo for at least understand how we feel abt these scammers. They painted bad picture to the 1st timer travellers to our country. Locals wouldnt do that as our Govt provides temporary shelters n the NGOs provide free food n medical to these shelters. You can find 'Rumah Gelandangan' (Homeless Shelter) near Chow Kit Area n every big cities such as Johor Bahru, Ipoh, Penang n etc. Only Malaysians are able to identify the country they are from, their behaviour, the way they dressed, the way they speaks n so on so forth. Even the foreigners who'd travelled around the world tend to miss these kind of identifications. Thus, just be careful.

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

Thanks for sharing and the advice. It's just sad to see a beautiful city have these types of people

[@anak-e1m]

In general scamming is to deceive someone. These are fake beggars, Fakers and scammers are not in the same category. Scammers in general are more sophisticated, while beggars are still beggars whether it is for real or not.

[@MrK-z3q]

Thanks for the helpful advice Solo. These scammers stories remind me of the same when you visit Mecca or Medina, as they say the same. Safe travels 🙏

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

you're welcome. I just want people to beware of this so they can enjoy their trip

[@amirulhakim4304]

ada hampir 200,000 pelarian unhcr dalam malaysia dari 50 buah negara , mereka bukan pelancong ! mereka nak kerja tak boleh sebab pelarian , hanya boleh mengemis bantuan je .

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

I'm sure there are facilities to help them and they don't need to do this

[@ANHarris783]

Pelarian UNHCR adalah tanggungjawab UNHCR dan pelarian MESTI ditempatkan dlm kem2 pelarian BUKAN dibiarkan bebas . CUMA di Malaysia saja mereka BEBAS . Malaysia BUKAN penerima suaka pelarian tetapi atas sebab peri kemanusiaan .Malaysia tak ada tandatangan pelarian dan protokol PBB 51 dan 67 . Sepatutnya UNHCR tidak wujud maka pelarian pun tak wujud di Malaysia . UNHCR adalah untuk negara penerima suaka SAJA . Jadi oleh sebab itu pelarian adalah pendatang tanpa izin PATI di Malaysia dan boleh diHALAU balik .

​@TravelingSoloLogs Rohingya, Myanmar Scammer

[@temasek65]

My bad experience is that a couple with a 7 year old kid, met me outside a coffeshop and introduced themselves as a Dubai family and were keen to see my country’s notes. So I showed him a $5 dollar singapore note then he asked if he could see a bigger denomination note like $50. His hands were reaching into my wallet as I was putting away the $5 note. I quickly blocked his hand and stopped chatting with him. His wife has the cheek to say why Im afraid of them they are from rich Dubai country!

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

Thanks for sharing, they were definitely up to something shady

[@brucewayne2773]

I guess if you stay in Malaysia long enough, you would experience all the things you mentioned Solomon. Keep an open mind and be yourself 🙏 and peace .

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

Thanks for the advice Bruce. I always have to beware of my surroundings in big cities

[@Original_Shamya]

Thank you, its refreshing to get both sides of the coin because they DO exist and its nice to know what we are getting ourselves into:) I have lived in Germany, Ecuador, Uruguay and in the US and traveled two dozen more countires. There is no 100% safe place, however what kind of things to be aware of and how severe those things are varies widely. Good to know. Thank you again

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

Thanks for sharing! Yeah, unfortunately there is nowhere 100 percent safe place but it's always good to know what things are happening in the area you are in

[@SansH-me2qk]

We have the same exact problem right here in Kissimmee/Orlando, FL.

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

I hope things can improve in both places!

Im so excited for going to KL. Im glad to see this video so i am aware.

Jangan suka bagi duit tetapi bagi makanan lebih baik. Dulu pernah alami di Pudu Raya kata tak cukup nak beli tiket bas bila kita mahu untuk mebantu membeli tiket dia lari pulak.🤔..😂

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

Definitely better to give food

[@talloydevans]

I've seen this exact same set up in KL just yesterday! My first ever time in the city. I'm worried this is part of an organised group as it seems they are following the same routines with the sleeping baby and everything.

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

I hope things will improve

[@LuvLourdes]

Those rohingya from Myanmar/ Bangladesh/ some Pakistanis.. they give beautiful Malaysia a bad name 😢

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

I hope more people know about this and the problem is fixed

[@AnneLaniaz]

​@@TravelingSoloLogsthe only way to fix it is to relocate them to a third country. These rohingyas are unhcr cardholders. Malaysia does not accept refugees but they have been here for more than 10 years. Since they are not allowed to work, they've resorted to begging & armed robberies. I dont think they are going anywhere since they've started asking for citizenship & wanted certain areas to be given to them. They even refuse to attend the same mosque as the locals.

[@LuvLourdes]

@@TravelingSoloLogs Malaysians natural compassion used to welcome them especially Rohingya's bad situation in Myanmar. Over times, their behaviour/attitude, arrogance exposed, most Malaysians despised them but can't do much due to their UNHCR "umbrella". Fortunately Malaysian govt starts to take action, some even deported especially illegal migrant from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal. Stay safe! Ramadan Kareem 😊

[@mohdborhannuzi4811]

not local i think from Syria or other arab countries begging

Wherever they are from, I hope the situation improves

[@BirsAlwadi]

Feel blessed you are not one of them right? Yes, i hope and pray their situation gets better. Wheels are turning

[@ehmargerdberks]

Some easy tips I've noticed as a local: Local malaysians never approach other people, even other locals, definitely not if you're a tourist. We're friendly, but not that friendly 🤣. Be very suspicious of anyone who approaches you. Beggars in Malaysia are 100% scammers, they're most definitely not locals. Local beggars/scammers these days operate online under fake profiles with fake babies 🤣. If they say no one helps them, they lie. Churches, temples, mosques provide food and help for those in need. Those who are considered hardcore poor are registered with the Welfare Departments.
