A homeless man, who declined to be named, told StarMetro that he was fed up of people blaming the homeless for acts of vandalism.
Volunteers feeding the homeless and Alam Flora workers claimed they had seen individuals who were high on drugs breaking flowerpots and vandalising street lights and book kiosks around Lebuh Pudu and Jalan Tun HS Lee.“I live here, it’s my home. So, I will not destroy the things here,’’ said the man who has been living on the streets for over a year.
The bollards placed along side lanes to prevent people from parking their cars were destroyed while still at the construction stage.A Think City employee, who declined to be named, said he found out from the homeless that it was the work of drug addicts under the influence.However, this incident was not the only time individuals high on drugs had destroyed public facilities.“He was shouting and cursing, so I did not understand what he was saying,” he said.
“We don’t plan to repair the clock out of fear that it will get damaged again,” he said, adding that he planned to remove it. “For instance, syabu affects the brain’s neuron functions and can cause depression, aggressive behaviour and hallucinations with long-term use,” he said.
