Kuala Lumpur: The Kuala Lumpur branch of the immigration department crippled a syndicate that had exploited foreigners and children to beg around the federal capital during a raid at Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah last night.
It was discovered that children as young as 10 months and up to six years old were given medicine believed to induce sleep before being taken by adults to beg on streets such as Jalan Chow Kit, Jalan Masjid India and Jalan Sentul in the morning – a tactic believed to be aimed at garnering public sympathy and increasing profits.Several bottles of cough medicine were found during the 9pm raid on a four-storey shophouse building rented by the foreigners involved.
