Malaysian influencers' chicken bones prank on homeless man sparks police probe
Three content creators in Malaysia are facing a police probe after a video of them giving chicken bones to a homeless man went viral, prompting a public outcry despite their swift apology for a hollow act of charity that they said was staged for their Instagram page. Advertisement The video, in Mandarin and originally uploaded on social media, shows the trio eating fried chicken at a KFC restaurant. The giggling trio then wrap up the chicken bones with rice, saying 'don't waste food' and film themselves offering the food waste to a sleeping homeless man. As his reaction turns from delight to misery after discovering the paltry offer, the content creators give a thumbs up. The video has stirred an immediate backlash, with the trio accused of 'rage baiting' by creating appalling content to drive engagement on their accounts.

'The dissemination of content that degrades or insults the dignity of individuals is not only unethical, but also leads to the normalisation of inhumane culture in society,' it added.
