Section page 1Elderly Falling Prey to 'Volunteer' Ruse (trick)
1a) What is the modus operandi (method of operating) of the con artists?
b) What are the Lion Befrienders planning to do to ensure the old folks do not get conned again?
2) Do you like doing social work? Why or why not?
Answers:
1a) They will first feign as volunteers from various welfare organisations in order to gain access into the victims' house. Normally, these con artists say they are here for some project, example to spruce up the home for senior citizens, before stealing things from the house while the victims are unsuspecting them.
Q1b)They will be sending out real volunteers, to help warn senior citizens about these con artists.
Q2)Yes, I feel that it is part of our reason living as humans, helping out one another, examples are like visiting old folks and chat with them to keep them company, help them with some of their dishwashing, cleaning, etc. I will then feel happy, perhaps because of a good deed I have done that helps them. Sometimes when I see senior citizens who maybe unwanted by their childrens, I feel bad, sad and sympthise them. Normally those elderly will work as cleaners, 'kalang guni' (rag-and-bone-man who collects newspaper in exchange of money), can collectors, or some even worse, they pick up leftover food, due to their age. After seeing all these, there is a feeling in me that when I grow older, I will stop these senior citizens from being unwanted, I think that it should be an offence to 'unwant' their parents and these what I call 'useless' offsprings shall be dealt with heavily.(I know this is offensive but it is my personal view of these bad-hearted childrens who unwant their parents)
