This isn't my 1st time reporting despicable monks using
religious beliefs to con/scam local fools. I who
is free thinker really against such lowly tactics.
Today was a failed once as when I asked the monk which
temple he is from, he looked at me in blankly and walked away in a
fast pace while I dial 999. Guess this time was bad as my food and
drinks just came so no choice lor he slipped off.
I tried to eat as fast as I can then I went to find again
but I think he’s gone. OMG my 1st
failed attempt out of 2 successful police report.
I wish to encourage all forum readers do not hesitate to
call 999 to report such scum wearing robes that asks for alms.
Local Buddhist association confirmed that monks are only allowed to
ask for food but not any monetary donations.
Secondly inculcate your elders that such monks exist to
cheat them.
From what I read last time from Straits Times, these Bogus
Monks are operated by locals and they collected a certain % of
donations collected by these scamming monks. So By donating
to such monks, you are funding the illegal organization in
Singapore as well as not getting karma for the $$ you donated.
Yeah. Anyway, it is hard to differentiate a real or bogus monk.
Bottomline, Shoo and don't give at all. They will not starve to
death. They can eat from the rubbish chute and leftover food in
Hawker centres for all i care.
