Asked for RM5. Thot nothing much of it and just gave as charity.. Then some time later in KL, the same chap tried the same story on me. I recognised him and told him "You again ah?" he went off... 2nd case, while waiting at the traffic light at the intersection next to Armada hotel, one Malay pakcik knocked on my window. His story was that he's from S'ban (again???) and needed bus fare to go home... Didn't give him anything... Saw the same guy at the same place again some weeks later... These are the con-beggars, telling you sob stories for a few bucks. Except for that one time I give RM5 to the motorcyclist con-beggar, I ignored the others that came after that... Also, nowadays got a lesser of those calls from China, used to get a lot a few months back. First question is always: "Do you speak Mandarin?" in mandarin... Knowing that it'll be some con job, I pretend don't know..  But I've heard some funny stories from a fren who had time and answered the call and chat with them pretending to be interested and all until the caller gave up and hang up phone.. hahaha... Maybe I should have tried play along one day when I have time.. Since they are the one paying for the call charges. Free entertainment...</blockquote>
