Beggarly

    • Beggarly

      One day I was in Dubai for business travel and while I was in the coffee shop having a coffee, young Omani came to me and he said to me I would like to speak to you. I said you almost welcome so he site in the same table and he said I came with my mother for treatment in the hospital and we have already finished so I run out of money and I went to the bank using my visa card to draw money but misfortune the machine hold the card. So I would like to borrow some money to book a room in the hotel for me & my mom. He was ready to give me his mobile or anything to get the money. He was so pathetic, hence I gave him amount of money and then he run away and in the same time two Omani came to that coffee shop and they say salam alaikum, I said Wa'alikom Alsalam. Then I asked them if they know that’s man, they said no but last two days he came to us and ask for money and they told me the same story which that’s man told me. They said last night we saw him drunk. Then I realized that I was really double-crossed by that man. That’s my story and I believe some of you've gone through this situation
      The question is why some of the people travel out side the country if they have not got money? If they have why they did not plane for their budget


    • How shame and what a pity situation

      How can they do this thing not only in Oman but in other countries .. did they lose their honour .. and for what for drinking ?? what can I say

      Thanks brother for this sadness topic beggaring is one of the awful phenomenon in Oman and I don’t know who’s balm the government or the person !!!! or the tow

      I have seen beggar women every day in my village coming from different aeries ...i don’t know shall I give them or not ..if we give them we will help to increase this phenomenon and if we wont >> I think u know the filling

      God lord

    • Well sis

      If the bragger is from my country or village, I’ll ask him/her for what he/she needs the money if she/he needs for food I’ll go and buy him food or what ever he needs I’ll buy it for him/her if I can, nevertheless I’ll never give him/her cash money unless he/she is gaffer (old). Nonetheless, like in my situation I wasn’t know if the man really needs the money and he is in deadlock or just he used to beggar. Here how are you going to deal with this situation especially if he is from your country, of course your conscience will never let you leave that man who needs your help

    • Thaks YSK for this important topic

      Actually this issue bother us a lot specially oin Ramadan month
      the number of braggers increase so badly and they come in groups. when they come to my home, we asked them if they need food we will give them but we will not give them cash. But as the usuall their reply we don't need food, we need money.
      Sometimes i find them so stupied and crule in their behaviors because some women pretends that their husbands are dead and they have to take care of their children so they need some money, yet when you look to their appearance you will never believe that they are braggers because they wear a pretty clothes and the gold cover their hands and their foots:eek: .

      So do you believe that they really need this money?

    • This is a very important issue that we should be aware of and certainly aware of the best and proper methodology to deal with it. Although, it can be quite complecated in many ways, you should always remeber that by giving them money, you're not helping them!!! By giving them money, you're supporting them to continue living that way. I can't say that i can discuss such an issue from all directions, but you can help them in many other ways apart from offering them money. This can be the case, if they were actually in need and are really poor

      The problem being is that many of them are adopting this as a trade from which they gain a living. Meaning that, they aren't truly in need, but its an easy way to get money. Those are the one's that you should be very careful with and try your best to ignore them

      Many of them can really convince you with the fact, that they are poor, but remember and try not to fall in their traps. In the place that i study in, i have an instructor who is a policeman. He constantly keep telling us, not to give such a people a thing. He says, that most of them, actually have homes, mobile phones!! Some of them have more money than you. These are things that he knew for sure due to his job status

      As for those, who are from your country, its really sad to know that such a thing is taking place. However, like all others, i dont think that they deserve a better treatment. Infact, more than anyone else, they need to be told , to stop this

      I know that standing for these people can be very hard for most of us, but its the best thing to do
