In Reply to: That whole begging business...... posted by Paul on Sunday, 13. December 2009 at 10:41 Bali Time:
you can be fined 6,000,000 idr for giving money to beggers . Most of the beggers you see around Bali come from the same village . Just like some villages do wood carving some do painting this one is famous for beggers . I can't remember the villages name , but my good friend Jimmy ( jimmy DVD jl Padma ) educated me on the whole process recently . Very well organised with the boss getting the young woman pregnant then they become his . Very sad but a reality .
