Homeless People of Penang

We have done this video a few months ago where a group Citizen Journalists went to the streets to understand why there were homeless people in a city like Georgetown, Penang. 

Frequent "rescues" by several governmental department were carried out and these homeless people were sent to homes located in Kedah and Perak. Some times, homeless couples were separated too. 

This video showed the sadness of these homeless people on the streets of Penang.

A Voice for the Homeless

Homeless - Part 1

Our latest documentary done on the homeless people around Penang. We are a group of citizen journalists who are concerned with the increasing "round ups" of these homeless people by the related authorities and some say that the homeless were badly treated during these raids. 

Please watch this video and tell me how lucky you are when you have a family and a shelter over your head.
