Homeless in Georgetown

The Komtar in Georgetown is a home for the homeless in Pg. Every morning along Pg road just opposite the Ong Kongsi, you will see a group (maybe 7 or 8) elderly Chinese man and woman sitting around. They have not come to shop because the shops are still closed nor come to have their breakfast in the coffee shops....bec they have just open and are getting ready for the office crowds.....

They are the homeless residents of komtar.....pg's tallest building.....at night they would sleep along komtar's corridors along prangin road..where the ground floor of the Departmental Store Super Komtar used to be....

I wonder whether any of our wakil rakyat ....people's represantative knows....it reminds me of many songs....the streets of london....an old lady carrying her whole world in two carrier bags or the song another day in paradise

We can do anything.... feed them.....find them a place to sleep.....its a good thing we don't have winters....or they will be frozen to death...as winter takes its toil....
