PETALING JAYA: The citizen-initiated White Flag movement has seen kind-hearted Malaysians rise to the occasion to help those in financial despair, but it also given rise to the ugly side of others.
Countless efforts have been taken by ordinary Malaysians, alongside extensive aid from the government, but some are taking advantage.
A viral video of four people in a car caught bagging everything at a food bank, leaving nothing behind, sparked public uproar.
In another viral video, a food bank was emptied within minutes when a bunch of people rushed to snatch the food, some taking more than what they obviously needed.

KUALA BERANG: The frozen meat importer believed to be behind the meat cartel scandal will be charged soon, says Deputy Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Rosol Wahid.
He said the investigation paper on the Johor Baru-based company was about to be completed and would be submitted to the Deputy Public Prosecutor for further action.
Rosol said the case was taking a bit of time because the meat samples had to be analysed by the Chemistry Department.
“When we want to charge (in court), the meat has to be sent to the laboratory to be analysed whether it is kangaroo meat, horse meat, pork or any meat, ” he said after launching a Food Bank Malaysia programme here yesterday.
