JAKARTA - Sad, a family of Foreign Citizens (WNA) from Palestine was caught begging to a number of pedestrians on Jalan Cikini Raya, Menteng District, Central Jakarta. They consist of husband, wife and two children.
It started when a resident who was sitting on the side of the road was asked for money by a woman with her two children, and admitted to being from Palestine.
Speaking in Arabic, the woman turned her right hand to the residents to pray for mercy. Realizing that something was unusual, residents immediately recorded using cellphones, even though they finally gave money to the woman.
