Is it real or a scam? A viral video circulating on social media shows a seemingly able-bodied foreign man standing at a roadside with a breathing tube attached to his face and leaning on a cane, sparking heated debate online.
The video, posted by Twitter user @update11111, depicts a concerned citizen confronting the suspicious man, accusing him of pretending to seek sympathy by appearing helpless.
"You're faking it, aren't you? There's no oxygen tank at all!"
The man quickly tries to shield his face with his hand to avoid being filmed.
The video lacks details about the exact time and location of the incident, leaving it unclear whether the man genuinely has a medical condition or is merely pretending to gain sympathy for begging.
Since its upload, the video has garnered widespread attention and criticism from netizens, who condemned the mans actions. Many believe he is attempting to mimic a recent incident where a baby with a similar breathing tube received widespread sympathy and resulted in the family being gifted a car by a generous businessman.
Netizens speculate that the man might be trying to replicate the situation to receive similar benefits.
Furthermore, many users harshly criticized the man for exploiting the kindness of Malaysians for personal gain, calling his actions deceitful and morally wrong.
