NETIZENS have expressed anger and disgust over the insensitive treatment of a vulnerable individual by three local content creators.

The trio recently posted a video showing them giving leftover chicken bones to a homeless man in what they claimed was an “act of kindness.”

The post on Instagram by @aluk_777, @olympiccc_555, and @kaijie_666 initially showed the trio at a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet enjoying some Original Recipe chicken.

They then justified their actions by stating they didn’t want to waste food, proceeding to pack the chicken bones with pre-packed KFC rice before approaching a sleeping homeless individual on a walkway.

They woke the man up and passed him the food and he looked genuinely happy to receive it - until he opened the box and saw the leftover chicken bones.

Despite the humiliating situation, the man accepted the leftovers and thanked the boys.

The video has since generated widespread condemnation with many netizens expressing disgust at the creators’ insensitive treatment of a homeless individual.

Many also called for action against the trio, tagging the police, MCMC and KFC to censure them.

In another Instagram video posted later, one of the boys tried to explain that they worked with the homeless man to create the video and gave him a real KFC two-piece meal later.

However, despite their explanation, netizens still called for action to be taken for their insensitive act. - August 4, 2025
