Oversea professional Beggars


Last Saturday while I were taking breakfast in the neighbourhood market,I heard someone singing with a karaoke set. When I look back it was a handicap male holding a mic singing. It remind me of a news I saw it in the newspaper,the reporter interview a China handicap singing beggar in a market.He move from different markets in Singapore everyday in "Taxi".
Just imagine professional beggars from oversea begging in Singapore.
I notice just within half and hours, there are more then 20 persons put money in the handicap singer biscuits can.

Example: A day he get 100 peoples to donate S$2 each, he will get S$200 per days. 1 month 30days is equal to S$6,000, this means he is a high earners in Singapore and don't need to pay taxes. His earning is more then most of us working so hard.
If he from China this means will be 5X is equal to 30K/month, it will be a big sum in China.

Is we Singaporean is too kind and give generously that make this professionals beggars come to Singapore to beg. Are out kindness is being abuse ???
Some of our fellows Singaporean still struggling to survive here , please before you donate look carefully is they are professional beggars from overseas ???
