'Karma is real, brother' — Influencer Kong Jau Sang slams trio for giving chicken bones to homeless man
A viral video involving three Malaysian content creators has sparked widespread outrage after they were seen handing chicken bones to a homeless man, while giving the leftover meat to a dog—an act that many criticised as humiliating and dehumanising. Although the trio later issued an apology and claimed that the man had been given a proper meal off-camera and was in on the act, the damage had already been done.

In a strongly worded Facebook video, Kong did not hold back his condemnation. 'He is already at the lowest point of his life, and you feed him bones. Are you human?' he said, questioning the creators' sense of empathy and morality. He went on to deliver a stark reminder: 'Karma is real, brother. Don't ever doubt it.' Kong, known for his outspoken and controversial views, urged fellow influencers to uphold a higher standard of responsibility in their content creation. 'You are using someone's suffering as content. If you insult a beggar, you might become one in the future,' he warned. Despite the backlash, the homeless man involved—identified as Dennis—told China Press that he holds no ill will towards the group. According to Dennis, the trio later returned to apologise, and he made it clear that he bore no grudge. 'I already treat them as brothers,' he was quoted as saying. As of August 6, the trio involved in the video has given statements to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). They may face penalties of up to RM500,000 in fines or a jail term of up to two years under existing laws.

'I already treat them as brothers': Homeless man forgives influencers over chicken bone meal incident
THE homeless man who unknowingly became the subject of a controversial viral video involving a meal of chicken bones, has spoken out with grace and forgiveness, saying he bears no ill feelings toward the influencers involved. Dennis, 47, who has been living on the streets near Merlin Tower in Johor Bahru for about a year, told China Press that he was simply grateful to receive food, regardless of its contents. ALSO READ: Malaysian content creators face backlash for homeless prank 'I didn't know what they were up to. I thought they were just giving me food, so I opened it and found it was chicken rice — but it had a lot of bones in it,' he recalled. The now-deleted video, which sparked outrage online, showed three young men eating KFC chicken before allegedly placing the leftover bones into a food packet and handing it to Dennis as part of a social media stunt. The group has since provided statements to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). Despite the backlash, Dennis has remained calm and forgiving. 'I'm thankful to anyone who gives me food. I've never blamed those five men,' he said. According to Dennis, the group later returned to apologise, and he made it clear that he held no grudge. 'I already treat them as brothers,' he was quoted as saying. Police officers reportedly visited Dennis the night before to gather information about the incident, and he said he gave them a full account of what had happened. Originally from Perak and raised in Johor, Dennis continues to take shelter outside Merlin Tower, where the encounter occurred.
