Hong Kong is one of the richest cities in the world. The prosperity of Hong Kong can be witnessed by the abundance of luxury housing and very high incomes. However, thousands of Hong Kong residents also still live on the poverty line. They even sleep in animal cages.
Australian photographer Brian Cassey managed to capture a photo of the dark side of Hong Kong. In the photo, a poor Hong Kong resident sleeps in an animal enclosure inside his apartment. The apartment they live in is also very shabby and looks far from clean.
Hong Kong is still full of evil landlords. They often ask for USD200 or approximately Rp1,8 million (USD1 = Rp9.145) per month for the rental of the coop. The biggest stables are even rented out at a high enough price for the residents. This is as reported Daily Mail, Wednesday (11/1/2012).
There is only one sanitation facility in the apartment. There is no kitchen in the apartment, and residents are forced to buy food in packages for their daily meals.
“This cage is very uncomfortable for us. Sometimes, I couldn't sleep until 05.00:XNUMX in the morning. Lots of cockroaches, lizards, mice, and fleas roaming in this place. I am always worried when the lizards and cockroaches get into my ears, ”said one Cheung resident.
Cheung also told how the temperature conditions in his residence. At least, the temperature inside the residence is higher than outside. (okezone.com).*
