Mystery As Baby Found Trapped In A Drain In Malaysia

Churchgoers who raised the alarm about a kitten trapped in
the drain were stunned to discover it was a newborn baby. The passers-by had
returned from a local church service in the township of Bandar Baru Bangi,
located in the state of Selangor in Malaysia’s West Coast peninsular when they
heard the noise.

Fearing a kitten had got stuck in the drain, they tried to
open it and were shocked to discover the crying noise was coming from a plastic
bag nearby, containing a baby boy.

The newborn was covered in his own faeces and wrapped in a
grey shirt inside the bag.

Local police spokesman Willey Richard said the man who had
found the baby had initially thought the cries were coming from inside the
drain. According to the spokesman, he had then seen something moving in a bag next
to it and decided to open the plastic bag and saw a baby inside.

The baby still had its umbilical cord attached and a police
patrol team arrived shortly after to take the baby to the Kajang Hospital.

Police said the boy is healthy and are calling on the public
to help identify and locate the child’s parents.
