Listen up, millennials. Want to be the kind of person who walks around with RM8,000 cash, has RM40,000 in fixed deposits and a house in the heart of, UNESCO World Heritage site, Georgetown, Penang?
Well, put down your avocado toast, hold off on buying those plane tickets to Bali and try not to spit out your Americano (jokes, we all work for minimum wage Baby Boomers). The solution is here: take tips from a local Penang beggar, who was found to be in possession of ALL of those things.
Phee Boon Poh, chairman of the Penang State Health, Welfare, Caring Society and Environment told China Press that having no family members nor relatives, the woman decided to pursue begging as her means of income.
If the weather is decent, and you have a good spot, the opportunity could be quite lucrative. The chairman told reporters that you can make as much as RM400 per day, and get free meals, because people assume you’re poor and hungry. Suckers! Penang also gives you free access to bathing, battery charging and a resting place.
No word on what the Wi-Fi password is, but as soon as we find out, we’ll let you know.
