M’sian content creators issue apology video after getting bashed for giving leftover chicken bones to homeless man

In what many are calling a heartless stunt masked as “charity,” three local content creators are now facing serious backlash after uploading a video where they handed a homeless man a packet of leftover chicken bones.

The video, a collaborative post on Instagram starts with the trio enjoying a meal at KFC. After finishing their food, they jokingly say, “Don’t waste food. Lets donate this bone to someone in need,” before wrapping the scraps, mainly chicken bones with some rice.

They then approach a homeless man sleeping along a walkway, waking him up to give him the food. At first, he appears genuinely grateful, until he opens the wrapper and realizes it’s just bones. Despite that, he still thanks them.

The video then ended with them offering a stray dog some chicken meat, leaving netizens appalled.

“The man had agreed to cooperate with us, and we did offer him a full proper meal after filming”, he clarified.

With his apology video, here’s what netizens have to say:
