Seeking some kind souls: Mohd Zahari waiting for help along Jalan Tun Ali in Melaka.

MELAKA: A homeless man here has been “scaring” motorists at night by sitting on pavements in the deserted historic town as he begs for money.

The man, who identified himself as Mohd Zahari Rahman, claimed that he had no choice but to do so after losing his job as a security guard when his company wound up due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
