KUALA LUMPUR: A recent video showing three social media content creators handing leftover chicken bones to a homeless man has drawn widespread criticism online.
The clip, posted collaboratively on Instagram, begins with the trio dining at a fast-food outlet before wrapping up chicken bones with rice to give away.
They then wake a homeless man sleeping on a walkway to offer the food, capturing his initial joy turning to confusion upon discovering the contents.

The video had since sparked accusations of cruelty and humiliation in the comments section.
One Instagram user said the act lacked basic dignity, while others on Threads tagged police and regulators, urging action over the so-called “social experiment.”
In response, one of the content creators claimed the man had agreed to participate and had also been given a proper meal off-camera.
Despite the apology and explanation, many online have condemned the stunt as unethical and disrespectful toward the homeless community.
