That's when there are 'politics' within the group.

Even when giving to their own kind, some of these guys I know ask a lot of demeaning questions before parting with their ringgit.

Some charity use more money than giving out to the needy. Some worst helps some terrorist organisations. Do some background check on the charity organisation. With internet it would be easier.
