Sixteen Malaysian youths were forced to beg for donations after they responded to advertisements promising well-paying jobs. Their job training included a one-hour talk on how to beg or solicit money for charitable organisations and they were even taught how to stammer to gain sympathy from the public.The youths were constantly monitored by a supervisor and were locked in an apartment after they finished work and were not allowed to make telephone calls. They were given only instant noodles to eat. They were rescued when one of the youths managed to send an SMS to his family for help. Slavery is very much alive in our modern world.
