HOMELESSNESS appears to be on the rise in Bukit Bintang, Pudu and Central Market in Kuala Lumpur, as undocumented migrants and middle-aged unemployed join old people sleeping on five-foot-ways despite the economy reopening from the pandemic restrictions.
Eric Teh, an aide to Bukit Bintang MP Fong Kui Lun, said the number increased as Covid-19 restrictions eased and the economy reopened. Among the homeless are foreign nationals, he added.
