Homelessness and marginalization affects many countries, especially when development and urbanization grows unchecked by the government and ignored by society. Malaysia likes to highlight its modern cities and dramatic shift from an agriculture-based nation to a sophisticated civilization.<\/p>\n

Yet behind the scenes, and often blatantly staring at your face, poverty<\/a> and hardship<\/a> grows in Kuala Lumpur<\/a>, a self-declared city of successes.<\/p>\n

On May 3 in KL, I observed a group of young volunteers, mobilized by Dapur Jalanan<\/a>, providing free food and drinks to about 80 marginalized people, many of them Malaysians. Well organized, efficiently coordinated by empowered young Malaysians. Dapur Jalanan conducts food services once a week, on Sunday.
