Making a living in the city 在城市谋生 ...

As I had lunch with my students who all came from different cities around the world,
we had a heavy discussion on the following topic ....

"What is the best poor-friendly city in the world to live in ?" ......

With that thought in mind and as I was drinking coffee at this street-stall one morning,
a man in his 40's stopped his tricycle in front of my table
to collect and deliver gas tanks;
he seemed already tired even early in the morning.
Maybe he had already started his work cycling around the city
delivering and collecting the gas tanks 4 or 5 am in the morning .... 

As the country is aiming/planning/gearing toward a so-called "High income" society,
what does it mean for these many poor-in-the-city folks ....

To make matters worst, it is not just the local poor-in-the-city 

but immigrant workers are to be brought in from Indonesia, Pakistan, and 

Vietnam to mention a few to fulfill the labor needs of Kuala Lumpur. 

These immigrants are mostly working in construction sites and female immigrants
are helpful hands in residences as maids. Large portion of immigrants are being
promised ‘a good job’ into Malaysia and eventually
ended in low-paid jobs or worst, unemployed.

Urbanization is a normal process that many countries undergo 

in order to develop and to gather and centralize the resources.

It also encourage migration of those from the countryside to the city

whom most will end up as the poor-in-the-city ...

The World seems to be always unfair to the poor ....

A social issue urgently needs to be addressed by those who desire to 

help the poor-in-the-city and not just propaganda to the outsiders just 

to see the beautiful side of the city of KL with its 

high-rise buildings and expensive restaurants or shopping centers, 

and million dollar apartments 

.....
So, may I ask you this question again:
"What is the best poor-friendly city in the world to live in ?" ......
