Story time. And its the best kind of story because you get to be judgmental at the end. Was I naive?

So one fine day some time ago, I was at an LRT station, leaving it to be precise when I was approached by a young gentleman. He introduced himself and proceeded to tell me his story. He had just been released from prison, penjara Kajang, and needed money to go back to his hometown in Kedah where his parents were.
You're probably thinking, "Like whoa now, come on man. That is the most fake story to have ever faked". Well perhaps you're right. But I'm a sucker for when Harry Hardluck and Sally Sobstory comes along. And I'm just generally sympathetic when people ask for help.
Of course, I didn't just hand him money. I asked questions first like any good detective would. Wait, when was I ever a detective? So it turns out he was in KL for work and he got into a fight and was arrested as a result. Can you get arrested for fighting? Perhaps the charged crime is assault or disorderly conduct or some such.
