Monks on Petaling street.

[WujouMao]

its the orange uniform that you think has some kind of respect. i guess thats why people fall for them. in fact, i'm sorry to say this, i too would say i got scammed by a bogus monk when i was in korea. he gave me a plastic card with buddhist stuff on them, then gavem e a book which had lots of people names in and the price they gave him. i cant remeber how much i paid for that.

also when i was in KL last time, i ate in a burmese restaurant. an old women comes in wearing white and hovers over to my table. i gave her 3 RM in her hand and she gave me a rope bracelet. then she goes over to the other table where there is a burmese man eating and he puts 2 RM in the alm bowl, and i just think oh shit, i touched her when i shouldn't of.

now looking at today with the bogus monks in petaling street, i just completly ignore them, even if they are wearing orange or white and look real. i have seen plenty of real monks in thailand, cambodia & laos who would never ever dream of doing this, as no doubt they're be arrested and de robbed.
