Daily Earnings of Snack Sellers Near ATMs

Some of the Thai women selling snacks outside ATMs in Kota Bharu are believed to be able to earn up to RM300 per day. This figure emerged during an integrated operation that aimed to address the activities of individuals suspected of using "sympathy-selling" tactics.
Potential Daily Income

Investigations suggest that the snack selling activity was not a genuine business but a method to solicit donations. Authorities estimate that some of these sellers could potentially earn as much as RM300 daily from public contributions. This income level highlights the perceived effectiveness of their approach in gaining public compassion.
Operation and Rescues

The earnings potential was revealed following an operation led by the Kota Bharu Municipal Council Enforcement Division, in collaboration with the Immigration Department, police, and the Social Welfare Department (JKM). The operation targeted homeless individuals in various hotspots, including areas near banks and public squares. During the operation, eight individuals were rescued, including three Thai women, three local men, one local woman, and a nine-year-old boy.
Public Awareness Campaign

In response to such activities, JKM and the municipal council have initiated a public awareness campaign. Stickers with the message 'Bijak Membantu Elak Tertipu' (Help Wisely, Avoid Being Deceived) have been placed in public areas. This initiative aims to educate the community on channeling aid through appropriate avenues and preventing exploitation by those who may not be genuinely in need.
