A mother has dumped her new-born baby in a drain on Sunday, leading passers-by to believe that a kitten was caught in the drain. The passers-by had returned from a local church service in the township of Bandar Baru Bangi, in the state of Selangor in Malaysia's West Coast peninsular when they heard the noise.
Fearing that 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 opened the plastic bag and saw a baby inside, Mail Online reports.
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.
