KUCHING: A recent social media sensation captured a photo of a young boy using a QR code to beg in the capital city of the Philippines.
As a result, a government agency in the country has raised concerns about the potential involvement of syndicates exploiting children for fraudulent purposes, as reported by Xinhua.
An eyewitness who encountered the child revealed that the beggar resorted to displaying a QR code when informed about the absence of coins.
Authorities suspect the existence of organised groups using vans to transport beggars, deploying them on the streets during the day and gathering them at night.
