Federal Territories Minister Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor has once again come under widespread criticism for asking soup kitchens providing food for the homeless to move out from a 2km radius of the city centre by Monday.
Former Bersih co-chaiperson Ambiga Sreenevasan described Tengku Adnan’s remarks, which came just a day after he said that beggars and those who donate to beggars will face action by local authorities, as “shocking”.
“We know how to solve the problem of hunger and poverty. We legislate against it,” Ambiga tweeted today.
PKR vice-presidents N Surendran and Nurul Izzah Anwar both also criticised the remarks.
“Tackle poverty first. Heartless,” Surendran tweeted.
Nurul Izzah also said she was shocked upon reading Tengku Adnan’s remarks, while describing them as inhumane.
